Bydgoszcz - Day 4 - Friday July 22nd 2016
The day started off with disappointment for Ireland when Sharlene Mawdsley (Newport) was disqualified in the Women's 200m, for a lane infringement.
The Women's relay was nothing short of dramatic. With two tto qualify automatically from each heat, heat 1 produced just three finishers from five starters - and Jamaica were disqualified for an out of zone baton change, leaving Spain and Ecuador as the only official finishers, with both going through automatically.
Heat two was slightly less dramatic - Fancied Great Britain & Northern Ireland failed to finish after a disasterous final changeover.
Ireland were in the outside lane in Heat 3 and ran strongly throughout, however in spite of a terrific finish, finished third behind Germany and 'winners' New Zealand. However another twist saw New Zealand also disqualified, leaving Ireland as automatic qualifiers. Ireland's finishing time was a season's best of 45.09 sec.
Ireland finished fifth in Heat 1, in 40.48sec, a National Junior Record, but outside the qualification spots
In this evening's Hammer Final, Andy King (Iveragh) maintained the good Irish performances at the Championships, with another National Junior record of 71.70m
Lausanne, 21 July 2016 - The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has issued its decisions in the arbitrations between the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), a number of Russian athletes (the Claimant Athletes) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). The CAS has dismissed both the request for arbitration filed by the ROC and 68 Claimant Athletes, and the appeal filed by 67 of the same athletes against the IAAF decision to consider them as ineligible for the Olympic Games in Rio.
On 13 November 2015, the IAAF suspended the All Russia Athletics Federation (ARAF) from IAAF membership. Such suspension was confirmed on 26 November 2015 and again on 17 june 2016. In a request for arbitration filed at the CAS on 3 July 2016, the ROC and the 68 Claimant Athletes asked the CAS 1) to review specific legal issues, limited to the validity, enforceability and scope of IAAF Competition Rules 22.1(a) and 22.1A, and 2) to order that any Russian athlete who was not currently the subject of any period of ineligibility for the commission of an anti-doping rule violation be declared eligible to participate at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio (subject to meeting the qualification standards for his or her event).
On 15 July 2016, 67 Russian athletes filed an appeal against the IAAF decisions to deny applications from these athletes to compete internationally as "neutral athletes" at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
The arbitrations were referred to a Panel of CAS arbitrators: Prof. Luigi Fumagalli, Italy (President), Mr Jeffrey G. Benz, United States and His Honour James Robert Reid QC, United Kingdom. The Panel held a hearing with the parties on 19 July 2016.
The CAS Panel has confirmed the validity of the IAAF's decision to apply Rules 22.1(a) and 22.1A of the IAAF Competition Rules, which state that athletes whose national federation is suspended by the IAAF are ineligible for competitions held under the IAAF Rules, in accordance with the Olympic Charter, unless they satisfy specific criteria. Accordingly, since the national federation governing athletics in Russia (ARAF, now RUSAF) is currently suspended from IAAF membership, its athletes who do not satisfy the conditions set by Rule 22.1(A) are ineligible for competitions held under the IAAF Rules. These competitions include the athletics events at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
As a consequence, the CAS Panel confirmed that the ROC is not entitled to nominate Russian track and field athletes to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games considering that they are not eligible to participate under the IAAF competition rules, in accordance with the Olympic Charter. However, the ROC is entitled to enter as representatives of the Russian Federation in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games the Russian track and field athletes who fulfil the criteria and are eligible to compete under IAAF Competition Rule 22.1A.
Since the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was not a party in the arbitrations, the CAS found that it had no jurisdiction to determine whether the IOC is entitled generally to accept or refuse the nomination by ROC of Russian track and field athletes to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. For the same reason, the CAS found that it had no jurisdiction to determine whether the IOC is entitled to accept or refuse the entry either as representatives of the Russian Federation or as "neutral athletes" of the Russian track and field athletes entered by the ROC.
With respect to the new IAAF Rule 22.1A, the CAS Panel was concerned about the immediate application with retroactive effect of such Rule, implemented by the IAAF on 17 June 2016, providing for exceptional criteria to grant eligibility to athletes whose national federation is suspended. Since such Rule involves criteria based on long-term prior activity, it left no possibility in practice, and as applied, for the Claimant Athletes to be able to try to comply with them.
In view of the urgency of the matter, the CAS Panel has issued only its decision, which is unanimous, without the grounds. The full Arbitral Award, including the grounds for the Panel's decision, will be issued as soon as possible.
Bydgoszcz, Tuesday July 19th 2016
Athletics Ireland Report - Feidhlim Kelly
It was a positive first day for the Irish at the World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz with three out of the four athletes qualifying for the next round.
Carla Sweeney (WSAF) and Louise Shanahan (Leevale) got action underway this morning in the heats of the 800m with both athletes advancing through to the semi-finals. Sweeney finished 5th in heat 1 in 2:08.41 and qualified as a fastest non-automatic qualifier.
Shanahan went even better finishing second in heat 5 in 2:11.00, to qualify automatically, with an impressive sprint finish in the last 100 metres. “I always try and save something for the last 100m,” said Shanahan. “A lot of people kick with 200m to go so I try to hold my effort and see what I have in the straight.”
Louise Shanhan's Post Race Interview
In the evening session Jenna Bromell (Emerald) went through automatically in third in heat 4 of the 400m in 54.98. “Hopefully that will shake the legs out. It was tough from lane 8,” said Bromell.
Mollie O’Reilly (DSD) missed out on the semi-finals finishing 6th in heat 6 but ran a PB of 54.92.

Athletics Ireland Report - Feidhlim Kelly
Kevin McGrath (Bohermeen) finished an agonising fourth in the boys’ 800m final in 1:50.51 on the final day of the European Youth Athletics Championships in Tbilisi while Christine McMahon (Ballymena & Antrim) had a bittersweet night in Heusden, Belgium.
Christine McMahon finished second in the 400m hurdles in Heusden on Saturday night (July 16) in a big personal best of 56.06 seconds which was also an Olympic qualifying standard. Unfortunately it was past the IAAF deadline for selection. The final date for achieving an Olympic qualifying mark was last Monday, July 11th.
In Tbilisi, Kevin McGrath was in second for much of the race and on the shoulder of eventual winner George Mills (Great Britain) in 1:48.82 before fading in the final 50 metres. The Meath schoolboy’s aggressive tactics just fell short but he will have gained much from the experience.
Daniel Ryan (Moycarkey Coolcroo) was in third place at one stage of the boys’ decathlon and was in contention after 7 events but just ran out of steam in the heat finishing 11th with 6752 points.
Sommer Lecky (Finn Valley) was 8th in the girls’ high jump final with a best of 1.70m. Emma O’Brien (Sli Cualann) was also in action on the final day finishing 12th in the girls 1500m final in 4:56.94.
Molly Scott
It was an excellent championships for the young Irish team with Gina Akpe-Moses (Blackrock Louth) and Molly Scott (St Laurence O’Toole) headlining with silver in the 100m in 11.80 and bronze in the 100m hurdles in 13.51 respectively. Akpe-Moses became the first Irish sprinter to win a 100m medal at any level in European Athletics competition.

Scott set two new Irish youth records – her 13.32 in the semi-final was the second fastest time of the championships. Alex Clarkin (Donore Harriers) was also in excellent hurdling form at the championships setting two new national youths records. He finished 8th in the 110m hurdles final in 14.14 – just outside his 13.96 record.
Some other highlights included:
· David McDonald (Menapians) was an excellent 7th in 10.83 in the boys’ 100m final,
· Brendan O'Donnell (Lifford Strabane) was 10th in the hammer final with 68.50m,
· Kate O’Connor (St Gerard’s Dundalk) and Shannon Sheehy (Cushinstown) finished 7th and 13th respectively in the heptathlon
· Bobby Crowley (St Laurence O’Toole) was 5th in 4:02.77 and Charlie O'Donovan (Leevale) 8th in 4:03.90 in the boys’ 1500m final.
The Irish schools' team showed true grit at the SIAB Schools' International Track & Field meeting in Ashford (July 16) highlighted by Darragh McElhinney's exhillarating victory in the 1500m.
England took overall team victory with 519.5 points. Ireland were second with 340.5 points, Wales were third with 246 points and Scotland fourth with 230 points.
In the girls scoring England were on top with 266.5 points followede by Ireland on 180.5, Wales on 127 points and Scotland on 109 points. Miriam Daly was awarded the best Irish performance for the girls winning the 300m hurdles in 42.42, bronze in the 80m hurdles in 11.60 and bronze as part of the 4x300m relay in 2:44.50.
In the boys scoring, England topped the charts with 253 points, Ireland were second with 160 points, Scotland third with 121 points and Wales fourth with 119 points. James Kelly won best Irish performance for the boys with a victory in the shot put with 17.07m.
It was Darragh McElhinney who sparkled most in the heat of the Julie Rose Stadium. He epitomised the spirit of the schools team in a sensational race. The pace was 2:24 at 800m followed by a 59 second lap to 1200m and then a 43 second last 300m. He went to front with 600m to go with four runners going at it over the last 50m but McElhinney prevailed in 4:07.15.
The Irish Track and Field team are jetting off to Brazil tomorrow (July 28) for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Bydgoszcz - Day 5 - Saturday July 23rd 2016
The Irish 4x100m women were even in contention for a medal right up to the final changover, but were overtaken in the final leg. Nevertheless this was a tremendous achievement - coming fifth in the World, and setting a new National Junior Record of 44.82sec
Charlene Mawdsley, Gina Apke-Moses, Molly Scott and Ciara Neville
Earlier Pierre Murchan and Jack O'Leary ran in the 5000m final, finishing in 22nd and 25th places respectively, in 14:38.67 and 14:50.67. The ev ent proved to be an African Tour De Force, as Championship distance event tend to be nowadays, with African representatives filling the first seven places.
The event was won by Selemon Barega of Ethiopia, in 13:21.21, after a sprint with Djamal Direh, Djbouti, 13:21.50 and Wesley Ledama, Kenya, 13:23.34. Hands-down favourite, Aron Kifle, Eritrea, finished in 5th place in 13:31.09, after falling with two laps to go. He quickly gathered himself, but the leading trio were gone and he was unable to make up significant ground

Bydgoszcz - Day 2 - Wednesday July 20th 2016
Micheala Walsh (Swinford) and Adam King (Iveragh) starred on the second day of the World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz setting national U20 shot put and hammer records respectively.
Walsh has been setting new standards in the throws in the last number of years and that upw2 - ard trajectory continued in Poland when she advanced to the final of the women’s shot put with a best of 15.31m – adding 16cm to her old record she set this summer when she won the England U20 Championships.
The Swinford athlete finished 11th in the final this evening with a best of 14.71m. She finished 10th in the World Youths last year and this is further progress as she builds towards the European Junior Championships next year.
It was a great morning for the throwers with Adam King making the U20 men’s hammer final with a national U20 record of 71.60m. Unfortunately Owen Russell (St Andrew’s) missed out on the final by just one place - he finished 13th overall with a best of 70.34m. The final takes place on Friday (July 22).
Carla Sweeney (WSAF) and Louise Shanahan (Leevale) bowed out of the women's 800m at the World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz this evening, both finishing 6th in their respective semi-finals. Shanahan finished 6th in the first semi-final with a season’s best of 2:08.43 while Sweeney was 6th in the third 800m semi-final in 2:07.78.
Jenna Bromell (Emerald) finished 8th in the third 400m semi-final in 55.20.
