Rhasidat Adeleke pipped Molly Scott by the smallest of margins to win a dramatic 100m final at the Irish Life Health National Track and Field Championships in Santry #rtesport
Huge breakthrough for John Fitzsimons 1.45.66 PB this evening in France -He’s had a tough couple of years since his brilliant 3rd 🥉 in European U20 in 2017…. He’ll race in August with the big boys ( @EuroAthletics ) off the back of that!👏👏(more to come)
To be there tonight was something special. @AndrewCoscoran & @nickgriggs4321 leaving it all out there putting on an unbelievable spectacle. @DavidMatthews2 vision on NIA Live really coming into its own. I’ve no voice! https://t.co/lSALMQf8Xf

.@rhasidatadeleke continues to tear it up in Texas. At the Big 12 Champs last night she broke Phil Healy's Irish senior 200m record with 22.96 (0.8m/s) and the Irish U20 & U23 100m records with 11.31 (1.0m/s).
The Tokyo Olympics are now firmly within reach for the 18-year-old.
What makes this run so impressive is that it’s Mark,Cian & John’s 1st Race this year!!! “Normally” it takes 4/5/6 races to “peak”.We’re seeing 🇮🇪 athletes defying the Challenges, adapting and delivering!💥Role on @EuroAthletics in Torun 🇵🇱 Men & Women 800mtrs in 🇮🇪 is 🔥👏👏👏
Brilliant Run - congrats to @NadiaPower6 and Coach Enda Fitzpatrick.The greatest challenge for our young athletes @irishathletics is “Breaking through” to senior. This is a statement of intent for 2021 and beyond. It whets the appetite for the races and championships to come! 👏 https://t.co/axkpQH3ALk
