The long wait until the final day of Athletics in @trinbago2023 was worth it for Anna Gardiner (Peter Morgan) who performed well above her ranking in humid conditions to finish an excellent 5th in the 3000m 👏 @GoTeamNI @AthleticsNI

[Tom Reynolds @tomreynoldsani]

The two fastest times of Toby Thompson’s career within 2 hours is no mean feat but leaves him agonisingly 0.02 short of making the final. For context his heat time of 21.44 is 0.01 short of defending champion Aaron Sexton’s @AthleticsNI U18 record 🚀 @GoTeamNI

[Tom Reynolds @tomreynoldsani]

Personal Best at his first international championships ✅ Jamie Moffatt (Roger Sexton) runs 10.85 (0.1) in round 1 before 10.99 (-0.4) in the Semi Finals for 13th place overall 👏 @GoTeamNI @AthleticsNI

What. A. Run @ciaramageean 🔥

[Cathal Dennehy @Cathal_Dennehy]

The best, bravest run of @ciaramageean's career as she wins European 1500m silver behind the magnificent Laura Muir.

Muir was a world silver medallist last month. Ennaoui, who won bronze, was fifth in the world final, and Mageean just finished between them.

Stunning stuff.
