Fionnuala McCormack I think you mean.
Edged out into 4th. Again.
Did the Kenyan born Turk get in the medals mate ?
Sickener if she missed out on a medal to her.
Couldn’t be arsed checking. I just hope somebody comes upon this thread and lets us all know
Cunt came first
The race was dominated by Can, the 19-year-old athlete only cleared to compete for Turkey in March, even though she’s never lived there. She hit the front early on and never looked back, taking the win in 31:12.86. Portugal’s Dulce Felix took silver, and Karoline Grovdal from Norway took the bronze in 31:23.45, with McCormack, nee Britton, just seven seconds back in fourth, running 31:30.74, a season best by some distance.
Fuck her.
Why the fuck can we not run or jump like other nationalities?
Has there ever been an inquiry set up for this?
We let our horses do that

She’s never even been in Turkey according to Kiernan. Race was a joke. She was about a third of a lap ahead from well below halfway.
Missed today’s fare. Barr didn’t make final. Having watched the heats, I was certain he’d at least win a medal. I think he an Fionnuala were our only competitive athlete’s to travel so hard to be interested in what’s left. Interesting to see Gillick back. He’s way off the level he used be at, understandably.

Steps to Setting up a Club
A new club needs 10 members, four of whom must be over 21.
A new club must elect a chairman, secretary, children’s officer, registrar and treasurer.
A new club must inform the county board of their intention to set up a new club to their county board to receive clearance to form the new club. This can be done by attending the meeting or communicating with officers in advance. The county board will approve the club if there is no conflict with an existing club. Club colours must also be declared to ensure they do not clash with club existing colours.
A new club’s application should contain a copy of the club constitution
The county board informs Athletics Ireland in writing that the club application has been approved.
A new club then applies to Athletics Ireland to become a member.
A new club’s registration charge with Athletics Ireland is €150 per annum.
The cost of registering a member is €17 for adults and €12 for under-18s.
Athletics Ireland will forward a password to the club secretary to allow the new club to register members only
