It’s 2nd for @markenglish_ - a conservative opening 600mts left a little too much to catch Tual 🇫🇷 but once again like Shanghai 🇨🇳 finished like a steam train!! Great run!

@RTEsport Grt to see

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

@93_price @ITV @FootballCliches I think one may have suggested pushing the player back off the field-? ( with a serious ankle injury and later stretchered off In obvious discomfort) terrible content!

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

@glblathletichub That’s true too 👏👏

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

Less than 2 years separating them in Age.
Dokter 🇳🇱 23 yrs old
Hall 🇺🇸 25 yrs old
O’Connor 25 yrs old

This has the makings of a Track(&Field) rivalry that promises to keep delivering!
👏Brilliant for the Sport👏

@Bully_McCabe Correct ✅- she’s going nowhere either!

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

Disappointed for Mark English- 4th 1.46.70
A Race that got away from him-expended a huge amount of of energy with 300m to go to move from 5th to 1st
A lot of contact with Patterson 🇬🇧 (didn’t help) faded over last 100mts - Gutted for him!

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

Semi Final- Achieved for for Mark English-
Controlled the race from the start …. Made decisive move with 300m to go- using all of that experience ( looking at screen/ staying out of trouble) Easing across the line to win his heat in
1.46.42

[David Matthews @DavidMatthews2]

@IndexSabot Still worth having for anti drone?

[Ian O'Riordan @ianoriordan]

Mark English primed for another 800m medal shot at the World Indoor Championships

Former Irish 800m record holder David Matthews believes English’s experience (he turns 33 on Wednesday) will count in Poland this weekend
