Ireland's Big Shot at European Champs | Dublin News

Ireland’s biggest-ever athletics squad heads to Birmingham for the European Championships, packed with medal threats across key events. Mark English, Europe’s fastest this season, leads the men’s 800m charge, while Brian Fay, Darragh McElhinney, and Nick Griggs battle in the 5000m. Sarah Healy brings tactical speed to the women’s 5000m, Rhasidat Adeleke is poised for the 200m semis, and Sharlene Mawdsley’s 400m status hangs in the balance due to injury. Kate O’Connor, fresh off Commonwealth gold, aims for heptathlon glory against elite global competition, while Andrew Coscoran and Cathal Doyle navigate tactical chaos in the 1500m. Nicola Tuthill also eyes a top-eight hammer throw finish — it’s shaping up to be Ireland’s most thrilling European campaign yet.
