Irish Throws & Hurdles Heat Up | Ireland News

Nicola Tuthill is back in the European hammer throw final, throwing 70.09m to secure eighth place and aiming for a better showing than her ninth-place finish last time—she’s energized by roaring Irish support. Eric Favors made his first major shot put final with a 19.59m throw, calling qualification a brutal “boxing match” but proud of his breakthrough. Sarah Lavin was eliminated in the 100m hurdles despite her season’s best of 13.07s, citing coaching changes and needing more time to regain form. Other Irish stars battled too: Ciara Neville and Lauren Roy fell short in their respective hurdles heats and semi-finals; Abbie Sheridan placed 14th in steeplechase heat, while Jack Raftery surged into the 400m semi-finals. Up next: Bori Akinola and Israel Olatunde in men’s 100m, Sarah Healy in women’s 5,000m final, and Jack Raftery again in the 400m semis.
