Athletics Ireland Release - Feidhlim Kelly
Brendan Boyce (Finn Valley) will be in the first medal race for Ireland in the men’s 50km on Tuesday morning where he will hope for a strong showing. The action comes thick and fast then in the evening session and for the rest of the week.
The Irish athletes will be hoping to negotiate the rounds aiming at recording season’s bests or personal bests with plenty of final chances in the offing.
Statistically it will be a challenge for Irish athletes to podium but that won’t deter highly-ranked athletes such as Thomas Barr (Ferrybank) in the men’s 400m hurdles and Ciara Mageean (UCD) in the women’s 1500m.
Leon Reid (Menapians) will compete alongside (Marcus Lawler (SLOT) in the men’s 200m and should spur each other on to good performances while Phil Healy (Bandon) runs in the 100m and 200m.
There are also team competitions in the marathon so the women’s and men’s teams will be looking to combine to put forward a strong challenge and feature.
There are a lot of young athletes competing who are still U20 or have just graduated into their first senior championship including Gina Akpe-Moses (Blackrock-Louth), world U20 4x100m relay silver medallist, in the women’s 100m and Chris O’Donnell (North Sligo), in the men’s 400m who was 6th in the European U20 final last year in a national U20 record of 46.54.
This championships gives a great opportunity for many athletes to get experience in this Tokyo Olympic cycle.
The Irish competition timetable (including should they advance to finals) is below. For event features, live timetable and results, along with live stream options are available on the European Athletics website
There will also be extensive coverage on RTÉ along with social media updates on Athletics Ireland channels.
