Final Entry List - All Countries
A team of 33 athletes has arrived in Tallinn for the European U20 Championships which will take place from July 15th - 18th.
The championships have provided many great moments for Irish athletes in recent years, most notably the three medals secured by Sarah Healy (Silver), Darragh McElhinney (Bronze), and Kate O'Connor (Silver) in 2019.
This year's squad will touch down in Estonia buoyed by the success of the Irish U23 team which competed at the venue last weekend and took home a brilliant silver medal secured by Olympic bound David Kenny in the 20k Walk.
