Phil Healy has a very real chance of a medal.

She does. It’s fucking hard though at this level.

I hope it goes well for her. She comes across, as do most of this current bunch, as a thoroughly alright sort.

C’mon Phil :crossed_fingers:

Here we go.

Athletics would be quite popular. Good facilities at many schools. You’d expect a couple of runners from a population of 38 million.

4th

Disappointing.

Edit. She’s run a PB - all she could do.

Just lost a step at the bell and couldn’t recover. Unlucky.

The two Dutch girl are like twins

May as well be last as 4th. She gave herself the best possible start but the others are just better and she couldn’t get to them. 4th best in Europe nothing to be sniffed at.

PB for her. Not much more she could have done

Bol made that look easy.

Excuses can and will be made, but that’s a disappointing evening.

4th in Europe. They’re not playing Monaghan here.

So probably outside the top 24 in the world? Boxing our only hope for a medal again this Olympics?

What’s Thomas Barr at these days?

Yeah. A track medal is stuff of dreams for us in Olympics.

Barr 4th was unreal last time out.
