McPhilips and English both qualify for 800m semi final

English either felt a muscle or ran on track barrier. He was lucky to qualify after looking comfortable. McPhilips looked easy

This kid looks like he could be a proper big deal, cool as a breeze in the toughest event of all

Yeah he looks real deal.

Fitzsimons out.

Not for the want of trying in fairness, he gave it a right go

Real strength in depth in Irish athletics at moment.

Can’t beat championship running. It’s a contact sport.

English ok. Just lost his balance he said. Hard being interviewed out of breath in a mask in fairness to the chap.

Looks like he gassed a bit at end. We shall see

The dark green and navy kit is class :heart_eyes:

That was a lovely piece. He was a gem of an analyst.

Only Ted Walsh and Gary O Toole of that standard left on RTE.

That was a lovely 90 mins of athletics.

3000m women up now.
Lads should watch it to compare to their recent 5km runs

Watching them come out there now I don’t see anyone carrying and extra 2 stone, not to mind the shoes.
