Irish Stars Aim for Medals in 1500m Finals | Dublin News

Andrew Coscoran is on track for his third European outdoor final after a strong fourth-place finish in the 1,500m heats, clocking 3:41.86 — and he’s gunning for a medal. Meanwhile, Ireland’s women’s 1,500m hopes rest with Sarah Healy (seeking redemption after a 5,000m outing) and Sophie O’Sullivan (with blazing finishing speed), joined by Jodie McCann. But not all went smoothly: Cathal Doyle was disqualified after a fall in his heat, sparking frustration after his appeal was denied. Fionnuala McCormack heads into Sunday’s marathon with medal confidence, while both men’s and women’s 4x400 relay teams fell short of advancing — the women especially hit hard by key absences. With finals packed and eyes on the 1,500m podiums, Irish athletes are pushing hard for glory. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
