Report by Feidhlim Kelly
Robert Heffernan (Togher) finished a magnificent fifth in the 50km race walk in 3:43:55 in his fifth Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro today (August 19).
Heffernan initially crossed the line in sixth but Japan’s Hirooki Arai (third across the line) was subsequently disqualified due to a collision with Canada’s Evan Dunfee. Brendan Boyce (Letterkenny) broke into the top 20 with an excellent 18th in 3:53:59. Unfortunately Alex Wright (Leevale) was forced to withdraw mid-race due to a fluid intake problem.
“At 36-38km I thought I was going to win it,” said Heffernan afterwards. “I got bad cramps then but it’s still a magnificent performance. I’m still there or there abouts so you’ve to take the positives.
“This is the only day of the year that counts. Obviously I would have liked to have won a medal. I love training in the summer and I love training for these championships. It’s all about tunnel vision and getting ready for the big day.
“I’ve got such great support and messages from everyone on Facebook and Twitter and it helps when you’re working hard in that last 10 kilometres. I would have loved to have won a medal for them but it’s still a great performance.”
Heffernan has a remarkable Olympic record since making his debut in Sydney in 2000. He finished 8th in the 20km in Beijing in 2008, 9th in the 20km and third in the 50km in London 2012, and fifth in the 50km in Rio today.
His splits were as follows: 5km 22:39, 10km 44:48, 15km 1:06:53, 20km 1:29:05, 25km 1:51:12, 30km 2:13:02, 35km 2:34:55, 40km 2:57:18, and 45km 3:20:14.
Brendan Boyce was delighted with his top 20 performance and felt he got his race plan spot on. “I stuck to my race plan. I went off conservatively for the first 10km. I got in with a good group and it held together for about 25-35km and then people went into their own zones but I was always catching people.
“Physically my energy was good, my energy was good. My hip flexors got at me at 35km and cost me probably ten seconds per kilometre pace wise but I didn’t hit the wall. I’m delighted with how I’ve progressed.”

Rio de Janeiro, Tuesday August 16th 2016
Ciara Everard (UCD) gave her all but ultimately finished 8th in heat 1 of the women’s 800m in 2:07.91.
Everard had a race against time after a ten week injury lay-off due to a navicular stress fracture. “I made the classic mistake of pushing too hard in Olympic year and got injured,” said the Kilkenny woman afterwards. “I was as positive as possible and got the most out of myself. I know I’m better than that.
“I love competing. It’s been a tough summer watching the Europeans from the sidelines. I was so up for it today even off limited preparation. It’s championships like this that gets you through the winter months. This is what it’s all about. I’m annoyed I wasn’t able to do myself justice but it is what it is.
“It’s been my first year training full-time. It’s all a learning curve and I feel I’ve learned a lot. In my mind mentally I feel I’ve come on a lot this year. I’ve had a lot of challenges and this year and I’ve learned to adapt to them. As an athlete you have to learn to adapt to situations and I look forward to doing myself justice in the future.”
Everard, a qualified physiotherapist, was full of praise for the Institute of Sport for getting to her on the start line in one piece.
“The institute have been absolutely fantastic,” she said. “The medical team there are an absolute credit to themselves. There’s world class facilities and world class service providers. They have been phenomenal. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for them. I really appreciate them. It’s about moving on from here now.”

Athletics Ireland Release
- Feidhlim Kelly
Irish athletics had a breakthrough Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with a number of world class performances highlighted by Thomas Barr’s (Ferrybank) fantastic fourth place in the 400m hurdles underlining the development of the High Performance programme stewarded by Kevin Ankrom.
The team will arrive home this evening on Lufthansa flight LH980 scheduled for 17:10 at terminal 1 and we would love to see people welcome home our Olympians who competed with such distinction.
Barr’s 47.97 clocking is truly world class territory – the last athlete not to medal running sub 48 was in Atlanta in 1996 by Sweden's Sven Nylander in 47.98 who also finished fourth. Until the final, only one athlete since 2013 had run under 48 seconds. The last time four athletes went under 48 seconds was fifteen years ago.
The Ferrybank athlete's time on the IAAF scoring table equates to a 9.92 100m, a 3:47 mile and a 2:06 marathon.
Robert Heffernan (Togher) finished a magnificent sixth in the 50km race walk in 3:43:55 in his sixth Olympic Games. This was the first Olympic Games since 1980 in Moscow that two men (Eamonn Coghlan and John Treacy) have come in the top 8 in their event.
Alongside Barr and Heffernan were a number of athletes who finished in the top 20. Mark English, Ciara Mageean (both UCD) and Sara Treacy (Dunboyne) were 17th overall in their respective 800m, 1500m and 3,000m steeplechase events. Brendan Boyce (Letterkenny) was 19th in the 50km race walk and Fionnuala McCormack (Kilcoole) was 20th in the marathon. McCormack's run was the best ever finish by an Irish woman in the Olympics.
The majority of Irish athletes exceeded expectation and Paul Pollock (Annadale Striders) with his time of 2:16:24 was the third fastest Irish man in the history of the Olympics in the marathon behind John Treacy and Jerry Kiernan.
In terms of qualification from the first round, it was the most successful Games since Atlanta in 1996. This provides a good barometer as historically Irish athletes have struggled to progress past the first round. It gives a platform for development and is a sign of the increasing depth and preparation at the top end.
Of the 17 athletes 13 were making their Olympic debuts including three of our leading athletes Thomas Barr, Mark English and Ciara Mageean.
High Performance Director Kevin Ankrom said:
“The overall performance at Rio is one which reflects really positively on the athletes, their coaches and the AI support teams which worked hard to make Rio a success. Since we launched the High Performance Plan following the London Games, we have expanded our investment in HP athletes to over 150 athletes in 2016 to broaden and strengthen the base for future years.
“When I came to Ireland to take the position of HP Director, one of the biggest challenges was to create a support system for all HP athletes while trying to fill the gap which had developed over time, with young new athletes. It was brilliant to see these young men and women display their talent and potential in their first Olympic Games. This has been made possible by the support of Sport Ireland and through the funding raised by Athletics Ireland directly.”
“We have significantly progressed in many areas and have set a good platform for more success in the next two Olympic cycles. There has been really positive progress through each championship culminating in an Olympic Games where the Irish athletics team produced one of its best ever overall performances. While we were close to achieving medals the prospects for success in 2020 and 2024 is there to be built upon.”

Message from David Matthews, Cork Athletics Regional Development Officer
On the back of what’s been a very successful Olympics for Ireland (and especially Cork), I have been inundated with requests and queries from Parents who would like to get their Children involved in Athletics. - That’s the good news.
For my own benefit, and in Order to offer the best advice to parents, I’m trying to put together a list of Clubs that have “active” Little Athletic Programmes.
Remembering that a Robust Little Athletic programme is a feeder to Juvenile Athletics.
Obviously I will direct parent to clubs within their locality, but not all clubs have Little Athletics Programmes in place.
I would appreciate it if you can confirm whether or not you have a Little Athletic Programme in Place.
If not, there will be an “Athletic Leader Course” in CIT, in Sept/Oct (I’ll have all the Coach Ed programmes up on the Web by this day next week) which will provide Coaches with the necessary skill set to develop a Little Athletic Programme in your Club.

The Clubs page on the Cork Athletics website is among the most visited pages on the website - over 1,800 unique visitors to the page in the past month alone. If YOUR club contact details and other information is incorrect or out of date, YOU are missing out! All clubs were emailed on the subject, several times, in the past few months - the response from some clubs was great, but there was a deafening silence from most!

Paul Pollock (Annadale Striders) came through the field strongly to finish 32nd in a high quality Olympic men’s marathon in 2:16:24 to round out the athletics programme in Rio de Janeiro today (August 21).
Kevin Seaward (St Malachy’s) finished 64th in 2:20:06 while Mick Clohisey (Raheny Shamrock) was 103rd in 2:26:34.
Pollock was aiming for a top 20 performance in but was still reasonably pleased with his performance in wet and muggy conditions.
“It was an ok performance,” said Pollock afterwards of the race won by Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge in 2:08:44. “A top 20 performance was the first goal. I went out 30 seconds to a minute slower for the first half than the plan had been but the legs didn’t come around until the second half.” Pollock passed through halfway in 68:09 in 96th place and came through strongly in the second half gaining over 60 places.
“I came through strongly in the second half and this should give me a good platform to produce an even better performance in the major championships. It’s been great to see the rise in the number of athletes get the marathon standards and I’m aiming for London (World Championships) in 2017.”
It was a battle of will, and skill, for Kevin Seaward and Mick Clohisey who were struggling in the coming into the race with various ailments. “I picked up some kind of a bug a few days beforehand,” said Seaward who battled on to place 64th. Equally Clohisey had some issues in the final build-up with a virus and foot infection but dug deep to finish. “It was tough out there. My family out supporting on the course got me through it.” Both were tired but proud Olympians afterwards.
Rio de Janeiro, Thursday August 18th 2016
Thomas Barr (Ferrybank) put in the performance of his life to finish a fantastic fourth in the final of the 400m Hurdles at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in a new national record of 47.97 seconds today (August 18).
Barr was delighted with what was arguably the greatest Irish men’s track and field performance of the modern era.
“Aw lads, so close,” said a delighted Barr afterwards. “Close but no cigar this time round. I’m absolutely thrilled with what’s my first Olympics. 47 seconds, that really puts me on the map.”

Barr’s 47.97 clocking is truly world class territory – the last athlete not to medal running sub 48 was in Atlanta in 1996 by Sweden's Sven Nylander in 47.98 who also finished fourth. Until today, only one athlete since 2013 has run under 48 seconds. The last time four athletes went under 48 seconds was fifteen years ago.
The Ferrybank athlete has struggled through much of the year with injuries but an 11 week block of training masterminded by his coaches Haley and Drew Harrison has paid dividends alongside his support team.
“It’s been absolutely immense,” he said. “It’s been a tough year. I’d like to thank everyone who has stood by me – especially in the tough times. My coaches Haley and Drew (Harrison) have gotten me into such good fitness – not just for one good race but for three good races and a new national record of 47 seconds.
“I’d like to give a big thanks to my physio Emma Gallivan and my friends and my housemates. For all the support for the last three or four days from the fans has been absolutely fantastic.”

Rio de Janeiro, Tuesday August 16th 2016
Thomas Barr (Ferrybank) became the first Irish athlete since Bob Tisdall in 1932 to make an Olympic sprint final after a breath taking performance to win his 400m Hurdles semi-final in a new national record of 48.39 seconds.
“I’m shaking like a leaf. I’m delighted,” said an ecstatic Barr afterwards. “I went in really relaxed and I was able to track Karsten Warholm (Norway) on my outside. I know I’ve a really good finish. I’m not being cocky. I was smiling coming over that last hurdle.”
The Ferrybank star was in fourth place coming into the home straight but produced a sizzling finish to win his semi and go into the final as the third fastest qualifier.
“Anything is possible now,” he said. “I want to thank my coach Haley Harrison and Emma Gallivan (Athletics Ireland/Sport Ireland physio) for all the physio and pushing me on. I’ll rest up now and get ready for the final.”
The men’s 400m hurdles final takes place on Thursday (August 18) at 4pm Irish time – making it a midday start in Rio. Barr has been drawn in lane 4 for the final. Bob Tisdall also ran in the 400m Hurdles and won gold.
The final takes place tomorrow, Thursday, at 4pm Irish time. Barr has earned a great lane draw of Lane 4.
Tori Pena (Finn Valley) was unable to qualify for the women’s Olympic pole vault final, after finishing 14th in Group B with a best of 4.30m (August 16).
Pena had a first time clearance at 4.15m, before advancing on to 4.30m, which she cleared on her second attempt. Unfortunately she had three failures at 4.45m.
The Finn Valley athlete has had an improved season on the international stage – she was close to qualifying for the European Championships final in Amsterdam in July. Today’s performance consolidated her progression. This was Pena’s second Olympics, having competed in London.
To date this has been Ireland’s most successful Olympics on the track since 1996, with four athletes progressing through the first round, including Sara Treacy (Dunboyne) making the women’s 3,000m steeplechase final. Mark English and Ciara Mageean (both UCD) made the 800m and 1500m semi-finals respectively. Thomas Barr (Ferrybank) is bidding to qualify for the final of the 400m hurdles tonight.
