"I didn't finish where I wanted to finish, but I can't forget I had a great season before this. A national record at my age is huge, so I'm excited to see what comes next."

Elizabeth Ndudi just 16cm away from a medal in the world U20 long jump final - finishes 6th with 6.18m

"It takes a village" to make it to the top. Well the whole village turned up to see Nicola Tuthill's superb Olympic debut. Youngest in field almost squeezed her way into the final. Congrats to her, her family, Coach Killian Barry & all support team. @sportireland @irishathletics

"After the last Olympics and so narrowly missing out, I wanted to put everything I had into getting to this. I didn’t want to have any regrets."

Feature on heptathlete Kate O'Connor, who's back flying high after enduring lots of heartbreak with injuries.

Amazing jumping by @universityofillinois and @DSDAC athlete Elizabeth Ndudi. 6.68m Irish long jump record + 6.67m to back that up

[Field-Events Ireland @ThrowsIreland]

@pogicackle @irishathletics @megcam10 Its very impressive. Good acceleration, great base with both feet grounded, upper body waits until left leg blocks....and whip! Definitely a javelin prospect!
