with Luis Shanahan Phil Healey and Nicola tutel in the hammer and of course we have an inational star studded field here tonight competitors from 35 different countries competing at this year’s Cork City Sports from his far south as Chile and as far north as Canada so uh stay tuned for a fabulous night of Athletics as I hand over now to our commentary to you thank you very much ever yeah we are very much looking forward to a fantastic evening of track and field action here at monster Technological University on the brilliant track freshly laid opened just yesterday by the minister for sport Thomas burn I am K Den I’m delighted to say I’m joined by my co-host jeda Donnell how are you I’m good call yeah we’re looking forward to a great evening of action here in Cork as always we missed it last year as a track up relay but it is looking and span brand new ready for some Fast Times big jumps and long throws and many more here this evening in Cork so you can see the schedule is there on screen the women’s hammer throw just getting underway with a truly world class field in that one the women’s high jump just finishing off their warm up preparations kicking off in around 15 minutes time and the track action gets underway at 6:00 with that open 3,000 M sponsored by John Bley sports but plenty of action to come here between now and just after 9:00 this evening Irish stars and Internationals alike yeah as you can see there’s the first half of the schedule this is when things start getting serious is on the track the kind of more International races on the track will’ll be coming up just after 700 p.m. at Women’s 100 met you’ll see the formerly Ireland’s fastest woman Phil Healey she’ll be running the 100 and the 200 tonight taken on an international field there are sub 11 second women in that field and just scanning down the shop putut men international field there as well and of course the 100 meter men can we see the first ever sub 10c clocking in Ireland it’s possible unlikely but possible because there are a couple of men in there who’ve done it yeah and on to the very end of the schedule there as you said those 100 meters and into the 200s with Irish and international uh action alike in both of those series ones and series twos of the men and women’s events uh Phil Hy of course our fastest 200 meter runner for a long time as well AP from Rashid who broke that record last year um she will go on that race two of the women’s 200 meters and then onto the mile C to finish off yeah that is one heck of a men’s mile featuring the last three NCAA Champions will tee that up and indeed a three-time national 1500 meter champion in K Doyle who has a big kick but he’s going to be up against against the leges of Nathan green Sam prel and Joe wasam the University of Washington Titans but this is Hammer Time Jer absolutely is cork 96 FM hammer for women is kicking off we’ve got Jan kassanavoid there top of the list Brooke Anderson Jill Shippy Katy headed Charlotte Payne Nicola totle Rachel lres Stasia Scaris Margaret Hayden and Michelle doke there and of course number six there Nicola toel of Ireland is heading to her first Olympic Games uh all to be confirmed just yet but she is within the rankings has done enough and a very exciting time for the local athlete here from Cork and will be putting on a show for the local crowd here before she heads away to Paris yeah I think we can confirm it J she is heading to Paris there’s no reason she would not be selected particularly given the form that she’s been in NCA totle will be going to Paris still warm-ups just finishing off here as you can see on screen and that kicks off then in a very shortly couple of minutes time that one that’s hammer throw and he said we have world champion from 2022 in there we’ve got uh the world leader in there as well both from the USA um unfortunately their us trials didn’t go to plan for both of those athletes so they won’t be heading to Paris but we uh it’s certainly going to be one to eek out long throws from uh the Irish athletes and the others in involved in that one call it’s going to be a really really hard contest paris’s loss is Monster technological University’s gain that’s what I said J because Brooke enderson yeah is truly a worldclass thrower 7992 that is truly outstanding the world leader but no marked in the US Olympic trials final this year and Jan can Cav void bronze medalist at the world championships in 2022 silver medalist last year but there will be no upgrade to Gold unfortunately for cassavoy this year she didn’t not make the US team finishing sixth at their trials but we look forward to some huge Hammer throwing from them hopefully this evening and just looking out there at the wind conditions have died down a bit it was very windy all day but just talking to some of the meat directors they were saying things are actually settling so it’s looking a lot better it’s not warm but it’s also not cold I’m sure come some of our Caribbean competitors would tend to dispute that J and those of you tuning in internationally you will know that the favorite thing for me in colle talk about any of our uh stream is the weather and there we have it um Cork City sport weather for this evening 100% chance of rain at 5:00 luckily we’re past that now and it’s uh decreasing as the day goes on it is dry it’s cloudy but if we can predict that forecast or go with it then it’s going to be not warm but it’s not going to be wet at least looks to me like that forecast is already wrong cuz it’s 5:30 and hasn’t been raining here for the last 30 minutes exactly so uh so listen to us not the weatherman absolutely the wind for the sprinters in particular is going the right direction uh so far so hopefully it stays that way it is it’s little bit blustery but not too uh no gale force wins and will’ll be on the backs of sprinters I think all going well um of course we have P balls as well as throws and jumps going as well so they’ll be battling different conditions Crosswinds on those pole BS and we can see our Hammer throwers being introduced to the crowd on the infield they’ll be lining up in order of throwing I would imagine as always yeah we have 10 athletes I was going to say going to the line but going to the circle and into that hammer cage and we could be seeing some big throws there is Jenny kassanavoid unit stateson and there’s Brooke Anderson giving her wave to the crowd in the sunglasses keeping the glare off from the uh the bright corks guy here Jill Shippy in the pink another one of those us a track and field atlet who competed in Budapest last year in the hammer throw ktie head of Great Britain gets her juice Charlotte Charlotte Payne also of Great Britain and up next is the star the local star arland’s field event hero this year and gets a rousing reception from the core crowd that is Nicola Tuttle she will be heading off to Paris very shortly Rachel lers and the red and white and the athlete from Greece Stasia Scaris in her Greek top he gives her way Margaret Hayden also of Ireland based in the USA gives a wave to the crowd and finally rounding out the field Michelle dke of Germany 69 meter thrower at her best they are introduced and ready to go they walk back across the infield we see the crow the stadium absolutely packed here little bit of Pall warming up going in the the foreground stands are filling up a lot of people just getting off work as well let’s not forget and it would be a long even so we expect the crowds to continue building over the next hour or two but those who came early should be treated some world class Hammer throwing in front of their eyes here yeah and absolutely the looky look of the dry weather people are able to spread themselves around the track here is a grass bank that um surrounds the track so people can get up close and personal with those pole ball tie jumps and Hammer throws um see the atlet right up in person and see what fine specimens we have gracing the track on the field here today in cor cah yeah and let’s not forget that 40 years ago at the mik at the Cork City sport Yuri sidik of the of the USSR believe as it was then uh through a world hammer throw record and him and another thrower I think surpassed the world record several times in one evening at the Cork City Sports so who knows we might see something special 40 years on at the new host venue monster Technological University I’m not sure what the the law is called C but if you want to know the answer to a question like that make sure you give the wrong information and someone will tell you very very quickly what the right answer is I agree as you can see we have some Pace lights there on the inside or El has just got some early Christmas decorations up but I suspect those are Pace lights along the path the inner track so that’ll be huge help to our middle distance Runners later on yeah we have our cork city council women’s high jump field up on screen so just being adjusted there we’ve got Asia to verini of Italy we’ve got federi Fete EO Sullivan Aon Shaw Berto Maria Harold doer una stanev stefanovich AA Rochford glena Antonia and summerley in that one so we’ve got lot of Irish interest in that as well as a try international field with Italians and uh Dutch and many many more in there kah 35 countries jar absolutely and they’re all here in the south of Ireland on a county that is riding a high after ending the drive for five and my beloved Limer carers anyway we’ll see if the cork at least can shine equally as bright here on the track before they head off to the Paris Olympics the likes of Phil Healey and Nicola Tuttle Tuttle of course to 20-year-old star from just outside Bandon will be entering the throwing Circle very soon she’s thrown over 70 M already this year can she surpass her own Irish under 23 record could she possibly go up towards 73 and challenge the Irish senior record held by aleno Keef who knows but before she heads to Paris it’s about 3 weeks now she will line up at the Olympic Games Against the world’s best and she’s going to face two of the world’s best tonight in Jan kassanavoid and Brooke Anderson kassanavoid just entering the circle here to kick off the field event action here at the Cork City Sports first event about to get underway AB 7800 as you said truly world class throwing there from void and she begins her rotation and gets lets that hammer loose and let’s just have a look at it’s going to be just on the very edge of the sector I think it’s going to be a legal throw and it’s just shy of the 70 M Mark maybe in the 6850 type range so gets one on the board will probably be good enough for at least the top three or four here this evening even with that kind of safe opening throw but gets her competition underway and I think she’s going to get a white flag she’s going of Hit the tape um on the sector unites and it is getting measured now by the officials so results of this evening you can go on to uh Cork City Sports website or else you can type it in yourself results.on athletics.com should bring you to the live results especially for those field events if we are you know mid track action while an athlete that you’re paying attention to is taking a jump or a throw you be have to keep an eye on the live results there on that link as well we see Brook Anderson coming in 80 M 17 PB outstanding thrower won’t be featuring in Paris unfortunately but we have run Cork and that’s all that matters and she launches that one into the net her first effort so she’ll have to get something under on the mark in the next two two rounds but uh an x on the card for Brook Anderson to start yeah Rook Anderson is the third longest female Hammer thrower of all time so you truly are watching not just one of the current greats but the alltime greats of this event when we see her step into the circle but fingers crossed will see A Better Effort next up Jill Shippy of the United States into the circle she’s a 7493 thrower at her best that is also out over the 68 M range I suspect [Music] yeah 6807 it was from cassan void in that first round to take the lead so that looks very close to what kassanavoid through from Shippy as we see Katy head of Great Britain entering the throwing Circle kti head is a 6972 thrower at her best so very similar ability to Tuttle who has been in the 69 M range throughout this year back comes down just over 60 M about 62 m saw a solid opening effort there for Shippy orad forgive me that will probably put her into third place behind covoid and [Music] Shippy there’s a band INF field J playing some very mellow music it’s kind of sad almost it’s somber here there’s a somber at spere in the background they’re really building things up slowly here as we’ve seen uh first of the Great British atlet ktie head in the circle and next up is Charlotte Payne 7251 at her best she’s in her GB kit and cork 96 FM women’s hammer throw starting off proceedings the women’s high jump you to get underway very very shortly as well they’re just finishing off their warm-ups see pain Katy head 6171 for her first round throw there sheill Shippy in the lead at that 6818 it’s a clear throw for Charlotte Payne looks to be mid 60s maybe around 64 65 she’ll slot into third spot halfway through round one of that women’s hammer throw so very early proceedings here long way to go and up next will be the the home favorite Nicola Toto in her UCD singlet yeah she may have moved from back UCD being on that Ad Astra scholarship but the color of the vest certainly didn’t change pretty much identical besides the logo she’s completed two years of her degree at UCD and I believe studying science but planning a bit of a a move or a pivot towards teaching in the years ahead 7032 that is the Irish under 23 record from tutle so here we go six revolutions she’ll be spinning along with them for the last four and away it goes it’s well over 60 down around the 64 65 M Mark and a warm Round of Applause from the crowd it’s a very strong opener from the 20-year-old cor thrower 6491 it was from Charlotte Payne that uh effort we’ just seen before this so she sits in third at the minute and tole will be very very close to that in her first round effort of course as you say it’s an under 23 record not an outright National Record of course e O’Keefe that we’ve had competing for in the past six at the world championship a really world class hmer thrower as well so I’m sure she’s some that ncol tole has looked up to um as she’s progressed but she’s still very very young out herself lots more to come 6377 for total she goes into fourth place Rachel lres into the circle 5912 her personal best what can she produce here currently living in the shadow of Nicola Tuttle but as is every Irish ham female Hammer thrower that’s not a good one for Acres just didn’t quite catch it right on exit so comes up well short of the 50 line has an almost 60m thrower at her best she’ll be looking for a lot more than that in the rounds to come and she’ll have two more throws to get into the top AE and then the top eight we’ll have another three King your expert Hammer throwing knowledge how much does the wind affect the uh the hammer throw I know the disc is still like a bit of a headwind it kind of lifts the the disc Javelin it uh obviously plays a much more of a part when the the Implement is lighter but when you’ve got a a couple of kilos of hammer out there does the wind have that much of an imp fact I defer to other experts you should have just said yes yes I think so I certainly don’t think it has too much of an impact um comparatively to other field events anyway this is yes Deasia Scaris of gree now into the sector the all black she’s absent of number so would have get the officials on that one don’t dish out the DQ I’m sure but uh round yeah out towards that uh middle of the pack range as well 63 64 M 4475 was Rachel akr’s effort before that so two more athletes to go in this first round that women’s Hammer all just getting getting their competition underway with an effective uh competitive warm-up throw for some of them um getting the feel of it the band have parked up here and I certainly have to uh this is Margaret Hayden of Ireland stepping into the throwing Circle 6327 her best and see if she can challenge that 60 M line it would be a very good start for Hayden and it’s short it’s probably in the 57 range but a good solid effort from Hayden there to start things off and just to confirm the leader at the moment Jill Shippy of United States 6818 Jenny covoid her country woman 6807 and then back in third is Charlotte p of Great Britain 6491 with the HomeStar Nicola Tuttle back in fourth 6377 but we’ve seen repeatedly this year the any time Nicola Tuttle gets into the throwing Circle it tends to be 68 plus meters she’s had phenomenal consistency and typically as most high level athletes know if you put in consistency like that it’s a matter of time before you launch the big one well Nicol Tut will be able to do it on home turf this is Michelle dup of Germany she will complete the first round she is a 69 69 M thrower they just move the circle because she is a right hand thrower turn her upside down it’s the same call there we go and she turned her technique upside down as opposed to everyone else who were spinning counterclockwise she was spinning clockwise or is that left-handed thrower I’m going to defer to your expert knowledge on the hammer T once again there call listen I’ll just give you know my contacts in the hammer throw World a call we unfortunely didn’t me meet um throws offici out Dave Sweeny on the way down this year as we did two years ago for this meet we may meet him on the way back though hopefully there’s Morgan Tracy and the red bib the photographer who you see while he’s down here at the Grassroots level on domestic soil but he will be bringing you the pictures he was bringing in a pictures from the European championships in Rome courtesy of info that were decorating the front pages along with with some barns of sports file they’ll very much be doing the same at the Paris Olympics but we’re heading into round two that was a foul just to confirm as well by Michelle dupka of Germany in the opening round so a foul for her and Brook enderson everyone else is on the board as we head into round two and it is Jenny kassanavoid what can she produce this again is a very high throw but it’s a bigger one and that’s out Beyond 70 M for the first time in this competition we have a throw well over 70 m you see the official is even applauding there he’s saying I haven’t seen anything like this in a long time throws this big on cork soil so it’s good to see uh obviously a fan of the sport as anybody is here officiating and volunteering at these meets um we are the the life blood of the sport so he’s enjoying his uh competition as well while he’s working hard and they get that measurement in just trying to see K if there is a board on the infield for us to get updates on those L results as well as I said for yourselves at home results.on athletics.com monster m u n s t r athletics.com keep an eye on all that field event action especially when we end up with two three four events happening uh simultaneously here Brooke Anderson is into the throwing Circle the world leader the number three all-time female Hammer thrower fouled the first throw what can she produce very quick as she spins around that Circle this looks a valid throw it comes out low it’s not going to be her best work but she’s on the board and she’s going to be gone up probably into about third place I would Suspect with that throw looks to be around the 67 M range for Brook Anderson and crucially having endured a nightmare at the US trials where she failed to register americ in the first three throws she is on the board here in Cork she’s guaranteed herself I’m sure another three throws where she can really let rip 7053 is say take in the lead there for cassan void in round two yeah Brook Anderson the 2022 World Champion Northern University Northern Arizona University graduate 6573 is her Mark there so she slots right into third place this is Jill Shippy Shippy goes well wide of the sector there heading out towards our newly laid track heading out towards those three 3,000 M Runners and they’re not built to take a hammer throw J I think a lot of them are the same weight as that hammer so they’ll be suffering in the wind as well here this evening but as I said that open 3000 is getting ready on track 10 minutes or so before they kick off getting their last bit of strides done and the high jumpers are making the way over towards the main stand to get their introductions to the crowd here before that action kicks off very very shortly this is ktie head of Great Britain 6171 in the first round that goes out to a very similar range around the 60 M line it comes down it’s not going to be an improvement for Katy head she will stay in seventh place great at these Hammer throwers so often they are cast out of the main Arena but it’s great that they take Center Stage here and also that they’re on before a lot of the other track events get going so we can truly appreciate look at inovation here Co we’ve got split screen action going as the hyers get their introductions we just see feder F get introduced there’s EA Sullivan getting her introduction in the red and black Aaron Shaw Ora Sullivan Aaron Shaw will be up next the Australian athlete she’s competed the World Championships last year of course Australia at finest but Charlotte Payne is back up in the sector of the hammer throw number five on her back and her GB vest 6491 in round one this is her second round effort Rushford on the bottom right getting her juice and Charlotte Payne launches that hammer that’s going to be an improvement for sure out towards 66 67 m 6491 round one she will move herself up in the ranks it’s a foul for Jill Shippy and 6022 for ktie headson no improvement for those two and the high jumpers make their way back down just quick run through that field again we’ve got Trini canelli fate o solivan Shaw har doer stanev stanovich rutford and Ley yeah summer Ley in that brown 10 colored tracksuit top she was of course the world under 20 silver medalist and a lady who was high placed in the top 10 at the world under 20 championships is in the throwing Circle right now two years ago was that Nicola tutle made a fantastic comeback from a dislocated shoulder and a broken elbow over in Columbia and she lets rip here on her second throw it is a big one it is a bigger one and that looks to be very close to 70 M it’s just short of it I think looking at where that official is measuring but that looks to be a 69 M effort from Nicola Tuttle and that will do her the world of good in terms of confidence and it’s early in the competition as well so what has Nicola Tuttle produced there because it looks like a big one the lead currently is being held by Jill Shippy of the United States 6818 or sorry janica sanav void of 7053 I think Tuttle may just have rocketed it up to second place she never seems to have a bad day either call every day she’s out it’s in the high 60s of course made that final in Rome at the European championships fantastic throw once again there for Nichol tole we just wait to see what the scoreboards tell us as uh Rachel lres takes her next round throw looks to be down below the 50 me Mark again for Acres her second round so she will have another couple of throws to work back up towards that 59 M niola Tuttle I’m sure many will be familiar with her story now but did a lot of different sports in her Youth and in her Junior set year she’s settle on the hammer throw and her father to save save time on commuting across town and Bandon decided to build her a hammer cage and throwing Circle in their backyard about 10 minutes outside Bandon and that’s where she trained for much of her school years and that’s where she continues to train when she’s back home at weekends from UCD where she’s currently based we got a split screen here ofus scares and uh Eva roachford on warm up in the high jump the ladies in that one still fully kitted so competition not quite kicking off just yet uh it will be starting at 165 when that competition does get underway it was a 6779 for Nicol Toto in that hammer up to third place and we got a quick run through the start list of the men’s 3,000 MERS the open race we will have a International race later as well kah if you want to take us through yeah Charlie gaffel miles hulet of keny City harriers Dennis cin of St finar Tony Forest of East Court Dar Mahi of St finar Kean Hodgins of Nina Olympic Dar Sullivan of R farum de dein Guin of West limr AC but there’s more lots more there’s many many many more there are so many more J page two of the men’s 3,000 meter open race Daniel Bley of Lille Barry Conway Venice track James Hayes cork Track Club Nile Harvey Sans Owen Downing balore coov Ken Kelly St aans ER M of NIS track and oen Murray of unri we’re just getting the national anthem played in the background here as well by our band on the infield so we might just uh keep qu for a couple of seconds here I [Music] beautifully done the soldier song our on theine plays around MTU track freshly laid as we move into the future this is the second half the second latter part of the men’s 3,000 meter open field Ona Connor of Bel gly Shane Langley of skine Peter Hanahan of cork Track Club pck Webb of tin Ryland John Spelman of East cork Luke Kelly of Kender Track Club Steven L of lagen Valley and Ben lean Smith of the local TR chion but wait is there more you know it got more Damen Madigan North core KC Gavin Kenny of Bandon Trevor cumin great Island atletics Aaron Lynch of West Lim William Fox Casey H Dar o of clar Valley Kan Bo track James Tanner of Nina Olympic and I’m reliably inform we’ve got two more atlet in the next page call as well so not done just yet ni D East cork AC and Andrew Hobs of leville as you said the the local Club here in Cork Lille AC as there are many Track Club of course recently formed as well it is uh the most populated county of clubs of Athletics in Ireland so it’s a it is the local sport um as of course many others but certainly popular down this part of the world and it’s great to have a track again big hle in facilities for several months in Cork atletics with such a great sporting and Athletics County with their history short of a first year there was no 400 met track for them to use for so long but thankfully the hard work has been done behind the scenes I don’t know if the weather Gods really Smiled On moner Technological University but either way they got the job done they got it fixed they got it lined freshly laid and a new future ahead for cork atletics I think it’s a a 16 million euro investment in sport in MTU here in the last while this new track is part of it um it certainly looks brilliant and SP and span at for this year and we just see a throw there from Cav voidoid just out towards the 70 meter Mark again won’t improve on her second round effort of 7053 so she sits in the lead but she kicks off that third round of throws just going to update my live results here I don’t have results for those last couple of throws in the round two we are onto the track for this open 3,000 M call yeah we’ll see what these men can produce thinking back to two years ago I remember a lot of these athletes were also going line there likes the KE Kelly tends to be around a 825 8830 race historically these are of course the lower TI atlet none of these men will be professional they’ll be professional or something but not professional runners J professionals great to see them being part of the lineup here and they have their day in the Sun or in the very very very gray skies have in all Irish Affair you see a splattering of Club vests throughout um and as he said it’s a great opportunity for atlet to uh participate and it was it was a foul in the third round from Brooke Anderson just looking at where her hammer throw Hammer landed it was a few meters outside the sector so not a valid throw there from Brook Anderson see eil San just behind the upright fully obscured there getting ready for her high jump first stord 160 she goes clear easy peasy absolutely back at the hammer Jill Shippy unleashes about a 65 M throw she 68 in the first round 6818 she sits second place right now behind kassanavoid and there’s AA Rochford 160 a little bit too casual knocks it on her first attempt still has the on she be back in for effort number two if she wants to uh finish in the podium places today that might be a little bit of a it is exactly a Maric on her card but a Mark that may uh fall against her as they bar ramps up in that competition kind of mad to look at that bar and look at the official behind and then think that yaroslava mahik in Paris on Sunday jumped literally half a meter 50 cm higher than that and jumped over that insane from the Ukrainian absolutely I know she got her medal from the previous world record holder in Rome and she told her I think you can do it this year but said go for 207 in Paris and then after that when the pressure’s off go and jump 210 somewhere but she uh misunderstood the message call did it before so she will be the overwhelming favorite and Rushford goes in for her second effort and no good again unfortunately she’s a 180 jumper at her best and has done that many many times the young lady so she needs to uh fully concentrate on this last round effort she’s just moving her Mark as you can see on the screen as that men’s open 3,000 M has kicked off it is underway huge field as we said 34 athletes in this one all Irish men of clubs from all around Ireland we try and do our best to keep you up to date with the high jump and Hammer as this uh race winds up as well yeah lots going on track fails lots of action as we see the men go through the first 200 M it’s a pretty sedate Pace right now 200 M covered in 6 34 seconds so 68 seconds a lap equals 250 per kilm equals 8:30 I was right J I’m always right at least once a year but yeah this is about the level a lot of these men will be looking towards that kind of a30 range and we see Keen Kelly there of St abans that Powerhouse Midlands Club starts to push things on here as he just feels the pace lag great to have that golf buggy driving around the bend beside him as we see Nicola Tuttle into the hammer Circle for her next effort in the third round so far 6779 her best what can the 20-year-old Hammer star produce here this looks a big one not quite as big though just comes down around the 67 M mark from Tuttle but it’s been a very strong opening half to the competition for her she currently sits third behind Jill Shippy and Jenny casso yeah just a bit of a a wobble at the end to check was her uh was her foot inside the sector so maybe not the cleanest technically for her but as you said it’s back out towards the uh high 60s as well to put a solid round together for UC atlet n come past the Finish Line once again here with Kean Kelly leading it out front there Rachel Acres back into the hammer sector on the top left the way yeah it’s Barry Conway of NS track just slotted in him behind there that looks like an unre Singler that probably is oen Murray but we’ll get a better look at that as they come close indeed it is O Murray of on R occasionally I know my clubs but Keen Kelly as it was here before at the Cork City Sports currently leading it out we’ll keep an eye on the hammer a close eye on the hammer because that is where the true world class operators on the track our field are currently operating and that will be where our priorities lie for the time being as we see the Greek Trower sashas scares entering the circle 6339 she opened with haven’t quite updated in the live results system what she got in her second round but Kean Kelly leads it out this is through the first kilometer in 259 3 minutes so it’s a good solid Pace nothing too extravagant from these men I suspect some of them will be able to pick it up from here as we see the Clen City Harrier there that is Miles huitt now who has taken the lead miles hwit to the front starts to push things along just a little Kenny of the Char here now taking over from K Kelly as you see the clock there not quite at halfway yet in this men’s open 3,000 M and back on that hammer back out towards 65 M we just have a next a winding up there Margaret Hayden in the sector and she launches it just shy of the 60m [Applause] mark first R effort 753 so it should be an improvement on us go towards a 6063 at her best into the high jump confirm bar is still up it’s up to 165 now that’s stanovich St stanovich sorry it’s fedra F so Beed in Rome in the H for Hungary her best set this year second at the Hungarian championships and EOS Sol goes clear as well at 165 yeah back on track and it is MIL huid up to Kenny City harriers who is churning this pace along as they come through the mile in about 4:45 nothing too extreme at the moment and as track man Kino Bo then is tracking him or Barry Conway as well is in there couple of V track men in here then also up on the outside that is darl mAh St finar AC just running a little wide there in that white vest and Keem Kelly sitting in in third Michelle dke there just launching the hammer out towards 63 64 M again and in high jump it is unesa of Australia or sorry Aaron Shaw rather 190 M jumper at her best and she goes comfortably clear of 165 for her first start effort yeah Shaw was a fourth place finisher at 2022 World under 20 Championship she’s only 19 years old the new well Wales jumper certainly a name to watch the high jump 190 she’s been over this year her season’s best the Aussie teenager course Australian high jumping is at a alltime high part of the pun with Olympic medals apologize World indor gold on the ranks in the last couple of years be Maria Harold Doer gets the white flag and goes up and over 165s the icelandics are not just good at football Jers but it’s as you were in the men’s 3,000 meters and it is still miles huitt of Ken City harriers leading it out from onri oen Murray and then Kian Kelly of St abens up on the outside and now there are only two laps to go and it will start to crank up CAU very ex St stanovic there on our high jump runway for her opening effort at 165 sing it Spain and she goes comforta CLE well over 165 get the white FL official competition has started yeah and up front there are four starting to separate themselves here and they are in that green vest oen Murray out front ahead of keen Kelly of St abin and it is Miles huitt and darl Mah sitting in behind and the pace is starting to crank up the first kilometer was about 3 minutes they’re moving faster now so they’re probably going to be around 850 here but I think these men have personal best they definitely have personal best it’s considerably quicker than that so I would expect a little bit of a burn up and it may wellcome down to aen Murray of on ROK against Keen Kelly of St aans as they come through with a Lap to go they are now starting to pull clear ahead of St fin the finbar’s man Dennis cin sorry Daren MCAT that is back in third so and then there were two up front and it is aen Murray of Onre against Ken Kelly of St abens and the pace is really moving now as they rock it down the back straight 250 to run and it looks like Murray still has Command right now but Kelly looks to be poised to strike here with 200 to go what do these two men have left Murray looks to be very comfortable there out front and just extends as he heads into that bend now he’s pulling out about four five 6 M he’s drawing away as the unre man oen Murray pulling away from Ken Kelly there is a long way back to darl Mah back in third he’s scrapping it out with Miles hu but up front it is the carry man on R powering down the home straight here oen Murray is going to take victory in your Open men’s 3,000 M sponsored by the Cork City Council and it is 83.6 it was a fantastic closing kilometer there really flying these men Keen Kelly takes second it is miles huitt in third and then it is the S finnbar’s man darl mcah and then it was number three there Daniel Bley of L looks to have come through in fifth place all these men well under 9 minutes here 8:55 on the clock as they’re coming across so those are all your sub n Minute Men in the Cork City Council Open men’s 3,000 m a brilliant way to start the track action on a big night here at the monster Technological University abolutely call it a track record Co not a stadium record of course track record new track yeah look we we’ll try to promote this whatever way we can J we are the hype train got to give them something see these men they have emptied themselves here over 7 and a half tough tough laps 9:30 or so on the clock as they’re starting to come up now last few finishers and just looking back to see what’s happening in the field because marks have finally updated through the first three rounds of the women’s hammer and can tell you Jenny kassanavoid is still out front with that 7053 meter throw second at the moment at the halfway stage is Jill Shippy of the United States and third Nichola totle of Ireland 6779 for the Irish women woman about participation when there have been many commercial distractions right down to the years that’s what Athletics is all about you see the pole vs getting their competition underway that is not Rachel Lakers on your screen that is a hammer trol caption but that’s the Leal vest of the local Club here in Cork and H taking place on the top end the Open men’s 3,000 M athletes that we just seen cross the line no rest for the wicked race is just rounding up on the track getting theirs as the lads way to get their [Music] present Power Front 7 m 53 cm is United States getting underway here that is UN Samuels of 335 match go 270 you can see in the background there that’s a useful infographic there her first effort opens her competition cleanly and there we have that start so we just seen Samuel’s go clear that her opening effort we’ve got Noel Mahi of LL M Cory of Middleton AC un Bryce of Lille Chloe Lynch of G AC ano sh ker puppy Deo of yall olive burger Lil a McDonald of St AC so leading contenders in that one are un Bryce with 380 PB Samuels that we just saw is one of the next best for 335 as his M cor and ol Burger 320 so for the many young Irish atlet for PDS and season’s best in that one as we see miles hu there taking his bronze medal for third place in that Cork City Council Open men’s 3,000 M our silver medalist he was here 2 years a go contending for the win in as well as we see fedra Fete of Hungary lining up the bar 165 no joy for her oh no she’s still lining up looking at the red flag from the pole vault there and then the winner from onrea to that Main’s 3,000 meters is oen Murray uh it’s clearance there at 170 for f of Hungary and that was uh Noel Mah who had that failure in the P VA call while you were watching the high jump and it cut quickly there we have nicholet tutle the big reveal there on the bottom right who was it going to be what was it going to be opened up nuttle UCD the local cork athlete AC previously winds it up winds it up and launches let us see where this one comes down we’re just obscured slightly by the podium but it is going to be shy up 70 M again out towards this but maybe L around 67 me Mark again c yeah and just to catch up Brook Anderson Just shortly before through 69 53 so she has moved up to Second it is the two Americans the two World Class throwers we expected to dominate who are currently dominating just past the halfway point back course literally and we for the effort that goes into organ event that was me Cory of Middleton going over that the well as you can see something that the city is very certainly sports fans can get a great deal from the activities that I put on here today and I I hope it goes very well thank you very much and that’s summer luy just with a failure in the high jump at 170 her first attempt opening job of the competition and our eyes be there 190 at her best that’s Jo Shippy there just walking out of the hammer sector yeah and the woman who’s walking in as one of the world’s best Jan kassanavoid is going to be next up and the fluorescent pink of that Nike sponsored kit usually you can tell the best athletes by who’s got a professional kit from Nike and she very much does she is one of the world’s best is Jan covoid bronze medalist in the world championships two years ago silver medalist last year sixth a heartbreaking sixth place at the US Olympic trials this year fell short of the Olympic team but she’s here in Cork there losses our gain we get to see one of the world’s best as she launches here her fourth round effort out towards 70 M comes down around 68 but she’s in command out front with that second round effort of 7053 that previous effort from total was 6704 so that’s her second best at the competition but she still lies in fourth place so far next that is think again getting ready that will be lille’s olive burger florescent yellow spikes 270 think the bar is still out here and she goes clear for first round effort get flag the official competition on way around 16y old 2 m yeah KY head of Britain was last one there into the circle but that’s just effort just beyond 60 M before we [Music] startr ofair of the next up on track it will be the riverly hotel Junior men’s 1500 M but we’re still a few minutes away from that we’ll be bringing that into a bit of split screen action once it gets going but even the caliber of competition in this women’s Hammer will keep an eye on this because you never know when an absolutely massive throw is going to come out of that cage whether it be an Irish under 23 who knows maybe an Irish senior record or indeed throw upwards of 80 M from these women these two stoning throwers from the US OFA this however though is Michelle D of Germany starts to the Juni Juniors 6340 was her best that comes down in a very similar range she’s two fouls 263 M throws as we look back towards the men’s 1500 M the junior men’s 1500 M and it looks like Noah Canan of West mus there is up front but it’s slowing down a little and his numbers 9 and 17 that’s Tom Tommy Arthur of lagin Valley AC and orino Sullivan of Middleton who are assuming command of this race and the pace as it stands to well spread across the tractor as it is little bit pedestrian at the minute that was E4 San the H we see just knocking 170 roord you saw on screen earlier knocking that as well in her first attempt so second attempt for those ladies and as is for summery will be up next on also for North one of the so you can see those latest results just on the screen for the hammer and the we’ll have a look at the full list of this 1500 M as it starts to wind up here call they’re stretching out a little bit somewh lucky with another failure there at 170 on the bottom right of the screen that start list is on the right hand side for you of this race but they come into the home straight here Co and starting to uh pick up a little bit and get a little bit more competitive yeah 900 M to run and they’re just keeping along there at a steady enough [Music] Pace juen in last Sunday and certainly he’s the and there’s a they coming around the bend there as they get past the hyers once again and we are winding up with 600 to go in that Junior man’s 1500 M Hammer there again we have Charlotte Payne of Great Britain taking her fifth round [Music] efforts and in the 1500 me have number 14 there Roman borovski Horan of North cork AC and that yellow vest is leading it out front leading the chars big man is blocking the wind for these other atlet and they’re still lining up behind them there’s nobody out of it just yet a rodford there again another failure that is her second at 170 so she’ll have one more 10th and just a changing leader here call is it Comming to the home straight here for the final ofate time that’s Orin Sullivan of Middleton AC who has just swept to the front now and back in back in third though perhaps the danger man now David Williams of St sens he looks very comfortable as things stand he has moved quietly through this field so David Williams of s sens and or Os Sullivan of Middleton up the front at the moment but OS Sullivan has command at the moment but doesn’t he look comfortable in second David Williams of St sens with about a 2 m advantage to close down at the moment these two men look to perhaps have command can oros Sullivan hang on he looks to be really going for broke here with 200 to go there is a strong wind in his face up that backstraight but he has these men firmly under stretch says Orin O Sullivan of Middleton as he comes around this last Bend does David Williams of s sence have anything left to offer he looks perhaps the more comfortable of the two but he needs to find something major needs to unlock a new gear in the hom Str and I think he’s done it I think he has done it or Sullivan tries to dig in and kick again but he doesn’t have enough to repel the formidable challenge of David Williams of St senon 408 on the clock takes Victory ahead of orino Sullivan and then back in third it was garod long of St senon he’ll be just outside 410 I suspect but a great burnup there in the under 20 men’s 1500 met sponsored by riverly Hotel David Williams King David Supreme summer lucky sorry called the cross in her third attempt at 170 so her competition is over before it’s begun no height there for Johnny Goa unfortunately [Music] and we just seen clearance from papy Deo of Y all is he she just places her pole back on the bench there is AA roachford on the bottom right about to take her thir attempt at 170 yes so Stasia Scaris is into the circle in the women’s hammer and we have had a big development just as that 1500 M was playing out Brooke Anderson of USA has thrown 73 M 10 and she has powered way out in front ahead of Jan Cavo so it’s the two Americans we expected to dominate who are up the front 73 M and 70 M they have come and they have delivered in Cork as we see about a 64 65 M effort from Scaris of Greece ladies and gentlemen we just see the results of that uh 3,000 M been uh shown on screen and P balls we back with Burger of L here failure there first attempt at 280 we saw a Rochford offor go out of the women’s Hy at 170 there as well for second height the competition and the bar gone up to 175 now so things are starting to get serious in the women’s high jump but things are always been serious from the outside in the women’s hammer and here is Nicola Tuttle into the circle again as the Olympic Style music plays over the tanoi here Nicola Tuttle is currently down in it’s Fourth position now she will be the abandon throw no she’s down to fifth yeah so can Nicola produce something here and she get into those top three places she will need a 68 meter effort to do it she’s more than capable as a 28 20-year-old Bandon star and that is huge that is huge from Nicola tutle that is right up close to that 70 M line that is definitely over 69 it’s going to be a best on the night for Nicola Tuttle it’s going to be very close to her personal best it’s not quite that Irish under 23 record which is 7032 but that is a big one that Nicola Tuttle has just Unleashed here as I mentioned Jill sh be in third right now on 6818 I’m almost sure she’s going to take that second place is Jan kassanavoid with 7053 but Tuttle has currently got into the podium positions on home turf as we look at as Asia AIA tavernini of Italy bar 175 and the hammer throw we have Jill Shippy there taking her throw into the net the hammer still in the net perhaps hasn’t come down quite yet yeah this is fifth round of the women’s hammer and tavernini goes clear her first effort in this women’s hyen 175 as we just see olive burger once again second failure for her third failure in fact on the screen so if that is correct it’s the end of her competition we did see ano sha prior to that go clear and the hammer is very much stuck in the net there’s a bit of uh net shaking being done the lads are doing it without a hard hat I wouldn’t advise that no health and safety regulations the inspector be having a mayor here tonight so you just just at the top just at the top of that red uh padding was where you could see the uh this is fedra Fete of Hungary at 175 her third and final attempt and it is a successful one for f 188 her best and she’s up and over 175 I was at the world under 20 championships in bid gosh back in 2016 when one of the men let loose a hammer and it went straight through the cage and smashed an official in the leg ambulance driven onto the track Grizzly scenes children screaming not great how did you react I took a somath I took a somber look at things and and myself the junior women’s 800 M are going to be next up on track as we follow some of the pole vault and high jump yeah that’s um Anna o again of clar AC that is her third round effort unfortunately end of her competition and be Bea Maria har Harolds in the high jump goes up and over 175 187 is her best so the Icelandic flying high and we’re still Hammer fans we’re still trying to get that uh hammer down got a full screen of the junior women’s 800 we saw the start this there a few seconds ago and that is the Spaniard stanf stefanovich on the high jump Runway her first attempt at 175 in the blue of nurka and she goes comfortably clear second of the competition Junior women’s 800 are called to their marks qua flry Shani b f man Lucio Flyn Sarah Neville Emily Cronin chlo o Callahan Chan Callahan kir Delaney and fern Milan H Bo J Manny rebec O’Neal g j gin Seri and fre B yeah this is a big field this women’s 800 M and they’re going out fast look at that the West M musk Armada are very much out in force as we go down the back straight there looks like perhaps Freya baitman of Bel Gully gone to the front there from the outside and baitman well she’s currently given this field a baiton as they go through 200 M with about a 3 m Advantage really pushing things along then I think it’s number 15 is it no we’ll get a better look at these atlet as they come around in front of us but this is a Relentless Pace that is being laid down here and Hammer fans will have you know they’re still if they’re now dismantling that net to try and get that hammer down from where it’s currently lodged so a little delay in proceedings in the hammer but we’ll focus on the action up front here it is Freya bitman leading it out here and is number nine that’s JMA Galvin of n track the first of them 98 and 13 so bitman keeps it going hard here from the gun but she has company unwanted company and it is the form of the UN it is the form of the NIS track Trio that is Fe Manion H that is Hol o bo in besider as well and then it is Jemma Galvin of n track so these are the three NIS track athletes who are currently putting it up to Freya bitman who has led from flagfall goes through 600 M here in about 138 so a good time on the cards here but can Freya bitman hold on with this Relentless Pace because it has been hard from the gun she’s going out hard and hanging on but can she hang on for another 100 meters she looks to slightly be out on her feet but she’s the best athlete on in this race on paper at least Freya bitman turns for home she is struggling she’s going to try and win it the hard way but here come the two Andis track atlet down the [Music] outside it looks like fa Manion I think it is indeed fa Manion takes Victory there with a brilliantly timed effort just ahead of Jemma Galvin her trackmate from NIS track and then it was Freya baitman of belgoody ran so brave so tough and just ultimately ran out of Road ran out of gas in that last 60 M or so but a fantastic effort from the Bel ghouly athlete but Fe Manion down the outside the tallest athlete in the field and she used those long legs to good effect that last 100 m 211 is your winning time in the cork Athletics under 20 Women’s 800 M and amid the fatigue there is much Elation there from F Manion raises her arms to the skies before dropping to the ground to catch her breath well done F Manion judged that effort to Perfection absolutely you see on the screen top left tabini of Italy call must correct myself Aaron Shaw is eliminated in that high jump rather than summerley sulei just went clear during the race we saw it on the screen at 175 her opening effort so she’s still in the competition and the event favorite perhaps Aaron Shaw is eliminated the Australian unfortunately so her night has ended early but T 190 jumper second at the Italian championships just last weekend and she will attempt 180 first attempt and it is no good just Clips with cows takes it off should be back for two more efforts see number nine for May McDonald lav is not so DOL right now for AIA not quite sure and we are Hammer free it is hammer time once again we are indeed and it’s going to be time for the sixth round I think because it looks to me like Jan covoid has the hammer and in she heads one of the world’s best will’ll keep an eye on this in the bottom right of your shot there cuz J senoy this is her last chance I’m pretty certain or is this still the fifth round we’re in think it may be the fifth round because her result in the fifth round has not to show up so I think we’re just finishing off the fifth round but in second place overall Jan covoid needs to throw 73 M 10 to take the lead from Brooke Anderson can she do it it is certainly a big one it’s beyond 70 but it is not enough and again the official you see him giving the round of applause great to see official a hardworking volunteer appreciating a world class thrower in front of your eyes in Cork a world silver and bronze medalist one of the world’s best is Jan kassanavoid she is a lovely woman too I’ve interviewed her on occasion she’s from Missouri really is one of the heroes not just the Sporting Community but the Native American Community her dad from the kamanche tribe she has one heck of a story and she is one heck of a thrower she’s in second place as it stands in that women’s Hammer just for knock 180 in h up and we have got Harold D here up next as well as a failure there at 290 in the Pall from unaa Samuels and a failure from the Icelandic high jumper also so she’ll be back for a second attempt at 1 M80 we were back to the women’s hammer on the bottom right see the measurement as underway goes the primary school girls mile caho it’s going to be an interesting one on track for us especially trying to figure out who’s who I know that’s your speciality Jerry you studied a form book of the primary school championships in depth so I leave this one to you if that’s all righted distan is my specialty as is the mile as is Primary School athletics but back on the high jump Runway Stan stanich of Spain her first attempt at 180 clean card so far for her get the clap going from the crowd as those primary school girls hit the 200 me Mark in their mile race well spread out so far and we try and get an eye on who is the leader as they come around into the home straight and we’ve got a clearance from the nura athlete in the high jump stanchez stanovic goes well clear clean car for her so far and Sumer lucky will be up [Music] next junior girls are the primary school girls mile is ongoing at the moment they’re just coming up to 300 M or so and back in the hammer cage the officials are just reversing the circle as we have give you a full run through of this pery girls mile uh field we’ve got Eva Coleman AA sakova Darcy quinland Chloe ver o Reen Maya rasa Leah K summer odonovan Leo odonovan Ellen Barry Sarah drum G Lucy burn Olivia odonovan Alison Brenan Lucy eeden and Caroline o suan got all their primary schools listed here as well and out front oh your eyesight might be better than mine that looks like number 13 of AA sakova of car tul national school and there is the big one it’s a big throw from Brooke Anderson we just got back in time the third longest Hammer thrower in history on the women side and she has Unleashed another big one there over 70 M Brook Anderson she had command of this competition and she solidified her position at the head of the standings the head of her fellow American Jan kassanavoid Brooke Anderson one of the world best heartbreak this year not making that Tokyo Olympics after no marking in the US trials but heroism here tonight in Cork with a Throw Way Beyond 70 M for Brooke Anderson that looks to be around the 73 M mark tavernini back on the Hydra Runway second attempt at 180 and she fails that one again unfortunately so one more attempt for her yeah it’s AA sakova there of car two Hill school out front on her own in the primary girl’s mile at the moment and she is looking very relaxed as things stand and big throw there once again for Charlotte pay and just confirmation that that was a 72 me throw from Brooke Anderson so she stays at the top and now the mark to even get second is even tougher 7206 is her second best throw and that is of course on its own good enough for the win in that women’s hammer cleance there in the pole for puppy Deo and then back to the high jump it is fedra Fete her second attempt at 180 in the all black strip the Hungarian 188 is her best can she get over 180 here oh no just comes off with her lower back there upper torso has the height though certainly get that on her third and final attempt that will be come but it is OA Sova of Carri tuul National School who is dominant formed J in car a primary school girls mile 30 m Advantage as things stand with 600 M to run she is streaking away here with this one if she can hold this form she’s going to be an emphatic winner in this primary girls mile a dominant performance so far leading it from the front taking it on into the home stretch she’ll get her a round of applause and ultimate time as she will come towards the bell and Nicholas Toto enters the circle for the final time what can she do call she currently lies in third place third 6990 so that I think I’m pretty sure that’s the second longest throw of Nica T’s career she’s only been over 70 M once but NCA tole has Unleashed a big one to make the crowd happy here she’s in third can she move up even more the 20-year-old bonster let’s rip from the hammer Circle it’s Way Beyond 60 it’s close to 70 but it’s not going to be an improvement Nicola Tuttle will have to settle for third on this night but it’s third behind two astonishing athletes two World beating women in Brooke Anderson and Janie cassal they will have to mix it up now for first and second in this final round can cassavoy produce something huge in her sixth round effort Anderson certainly has put two big marks out there 72 and 73 kassanavoid sits second on 70.6 and sucky there just taking her second attempt at 180 this her second he for the competition he rode off earlier uh inadvisably she’s of course still active here one more attempt at 0 Aaron sh Australian went out early unfortunately her competition is over we still have four or five women still active in that high jump the primary girls mile getting their Bell as the winner streaks into the home straight here call an emphatic win it’s going to be from Ula sakova as we just see her com into the straight on the screen the white Fest power and what a kick from sakova here she looks like she’s only just begun 100 Meers of Mind finishing a mile 53889 on the clock primary schools mod Champion is aula sakasa car Tu National School we’re just try and get a look at who’s in second place here yeah that is number two there which is Leah odonovan of St Catherine’s Primary School number six is back in third that’s Eva Coleman and then number nine is next in fourth place goes to Allison Brennan of St Mary’s primary school k no doubt about the winner though AA zakova and you can overhype young athletes but I think safe to say jard there’s the there’s the 2040 Olympic champion right there we have witnessed it seen we have seen it build it and there will come we have built a new track here for young old experienced and not so much I like and what a fantastic opportunity for these pery girls to get a a chance to talkg out against some of the world’s best we just see J covoid she is just fixing her Hammer there sure what missed that as we watch excitement of that final of that primary girls mile and a failure there for uh tavernini in the high jump as well her high jump competition will be over at 180 so it be count back I think to the side a lot of the places in that high jump competition there were a lot of high entries but not many jumps completed uh Beyond 180 so far from and number four up on from Mar of the A and we can just see fedra for K of Hungary she’s taking her final attempt at 188 personal best season’s best got her to Rome and she is on her third attempt here at 180 City counil is a failure for number nine that is a mdal see that happens and a brilliant clearance there for fedra fet in the all black for Hungary she will go into second place in that one heightens SP stanovic so two atlet 180 so far and we’ve got the Icelandic Berto Mia Harold Z up next one 7 TV so get up towards that boys one mile are getting ready on track see can they match that fantastic performance from the girls likewise that previous race great excitement and a blistering finish from Ula sakova car to of national school sure there’ll be classmates clubmates family and the likes all in stadium to cheer those girls on and boys up next see the lineup on your screen you see Harolds here start her run up and her final attempt is no good unfortunately so that would be the end of her competition Sumer lucky up next to see will we be down to the final two in that wom yeah next up on track it’s going to be the car a primary no that’s the girls m I’m looking at just make sure the sponsor is the same it is car they’re sponsoring all the miles here tonight well the primary school level anyway it’s the caraz primary school boys mile coming up next we have an Argentina Jersey on the outside J I don’t know what he’s like running but I bet he’s got good footwork summer Ley though is on the high jump Runway third and final attempt for the former World under 20 silver medalist at 180 needs this doesn’t get it yes so I think we are down to two in that women’s high jump with fed fet and Asia tanini sorry with una Stan stanovic the only two to go clear will clarify that just as the competition comes to a close will move up to 180 possibly 183 we’ll just see as the officials adjust the primary school board just been told to put their toes behind the line many of them getting their first experience on the track here looking at the starter as they wait for him to pull the trigger and we have one man gone out in Lane eight and he is staying in Lane eight nobody’s going to tell him to get into Lane one now they have and he slots in follow your dreams kids don’t listen to what they say break the rule Shake It Up you see un Bryce just stand there talking to the official in the pole vault and saying would you not put it down a bit for us it’s a bit it’s getting a bit hard but we’ve gone out at lightning Pace in the primary school boys mile you can see the the differences in maturation levels there between the age groups everyone matures at different levels there must be about a foot and a half difference in height between the two men out front but they’re running about the same pace through the first 250 of this Primary School boys mile we’ll get a better look at them as they come up past us and we’ll find out who exactly is leading but confirmation that women’s Hammer result Old Brook Anderson of USA took Victory with 7310 aeit of Jan kassanavoid 7053 for second and it was the brilliant Nicola Tuttle the arising star back in third with 6990 brilliant stuff from her so it is numbers one and number nine Tommy Murphy of ballmount primary school out front leading the way ahead of Owen Looney of Ruth peak in National School these two way out front right now probably 30 40 Meer advantage that was poppy Deo just with a failure at 3 minutes 3 m rather in the of Y AC in the women’s pball 310 her best so she’ll be getting close to that now we see our two highp at Leets just keeping themselves warm as they prepare to attempt 183 up next that so will be our Hungarian fed taking the first effort at that one un Bryce on the pole vault 3 m as the man the boys primary mile starts to ramp up again here K this well spread out 2 minutes of running so far yeah I think on Looney has said enough is enough Tommy Murphy you may have gone fast early I will go fast late but there a long way to go 800 M this is on Looney out front he has left Tommy Murphy for dead as things stand coming up to halfway about 230 on the clock as he reaches the finish line and Looney loone lone he is well clear and I think Tommy Murphy is having buyer’s remorse about that first two laps he is in trouble shall we say through halfway but that’ll be a lesson learned number 17 is coming through for third at the moment inch that is of bun skull Ren on on K CO as we just saw a first time failure for Cate in the high jump at 183 yeah that’s Patrick O’Reilly Murphy of skull Ursula cork is in Chase in Hot Pursuit at the moment but it is probably about 70 M behind this man Owen Looney of w pein National School um this man is going strongly as things stand back to the pole balls that’s a failure at three po poppy dero on her second attempt there failure at 3 m and back to the Spaniard in the high jump that is UNA St stepanovich 183 first attempt she is on the runway and she just knocks that one so it’s probably the best attempt you’ve seen so far but it’s a failure on her first attempt so she will be W round two very shortly on that one see the crow giv themselves a right bit of Applause for there our winner um winner in Waiting will say call he’s got 70 80 90 M of a lead here in this one on Looney of Roth peon national school he is streaking away and he looks full of running as we’ve seen from our girls winner let’s see what he can do on the home street when that crowd Roars can he put in that Sprint finish and celebrate in style yeah and it is just in behind there it is Patrick O’Reilly Murphy in second and then Connor two of R peak in national school and fi they’re going to be carving it up for the silver and bronze medals not much between those three but this man has put on an exhibition of Ming for the boys Primary School category the Cara boys look at him he’s only picking up the pace as he comes around the bend he is about 150 M clear of his Rivals he is coming up to lap atlet it is a brilliant brilliant performance by this youngster Owen Looney into the home straight all alone he’s going to be very near 5 minutes which for a man of his age is outstanding running he’s going to be just outside it but a name for the future maybe a name for the present Owen Looney of Wrath peon National School 502 on the clock as he hits the line flat and he doesn’t look too bothered about it all he looks looks around turns around and says where is everyone else and they’re not even into the home straight yet but now they’ve just about ear confirms himself as a distance Runner stopping the clock as he crosses the line and even at this young age he knows how the PRS do it Conor toig this is of WTH peon national school coming up for a second his schoolmate and then it is number three which is fion O liri of bont primary school in third then number 17 Patrick O’Reilly Murphy of skull Ursula cork he takes fourth after a big third lap from the youngster yeah fantastic running as we know primary boys smiling call that’s really an exhibition there from young man from r p have we just seen the next Josh Kerr perhaps confirm there’s a bit of showboating going on here do you know what happened J I just saw one of the primary school boys out kick another guy and then laugh at him uh make a f make a hand remark laughing at him and then the youngster who’s about half his size called him something that no primary school boy should ever be saying but anyway fair enough they’re having their fun they’re going to war out there no love lost on that track we just see a second attemp failure from stanchez stanovich in the women’s H up so final attempt coming up for her as for fed H in that one those two left top two and on the p vot runway we got L Noel [Music] Mahi might be olive burger just confirming we see the number on her back bar is at 3 m still and it is failure there it’s up to 310 in fact that is Noel Mah of Lille and a big sprint finish on the track here just off screen for two of the boys and it’s F we see him coming out that home straight it’s all racing Co at the front at the back in the middle it doesn’t matter where racing is racing that’s what it’s all about the clock is irrelevant the crowd love that one I’ve never seen a 745 mil so hotly contested as the finishing straight there but pride is worth a lot at any age and neither of those two men wanted to bring up the rear there but back to the high jump Vedra Fete her third and final attempt at 183 the Hungarian will need this to stay in this competition 188 is her best foret is and she produced The Magic at MTU oh yes she goes clear and a brilliant clearance there for her she gives a hands on her face and she is happy out with that one just it just really CM down as that jump was about to take off and I had a good feeling about it it’s been Bluster the whole way through see the trees are blowing behind those High jumpers but just as she began that run up C significantly certainly did her a lot of good we get a look at the replay of that one that puts her right into the lead here with her Spanish competitor one attempt to come back at her could be all over on this next attempt she is happy with that one absolutely na have Cory there in the P Vault that is right at the P Vault there’s a slight change in the VAP numbers for women’s pole wats that is there in get ready for her attempt at 3 m 10 see that 335 so in Bluster conditions here she’d be hoping to get over this one cleanly take her competition from there and she goes well clear that one could be a big day for M of cor with a clearance like that 3 at 310 335d could be in for a serious bit of rewriting and here we have it is this the last attempt for una stanchez stanovic of Spain she’s on the runway and she is up and she is not clear so it’s going to be second place for the spinard in this one unfortunately third attempt at 183 no good so our champion is going to be fed fictive hungry at 183 enough for her to take the title here in the women’s cork County Council high jump hopefully she’ll go on give us more action to see might try and challenge that 188 PB that she set this year just that replay of uh May Cory in the P Vault her first time appearance at 310 quite comfortable hyers just confirming still sitting around to to watch and review the competitors and Noel M here on the replay on the Run way she her attempt at 310 first attempt [Applause] failure back out to dsd’s un Samuels so 335 PB for her as well taper on the knees that’s cittis of ball jumpers around the world to diagnose from a far but imagine that’s what it’s preventing if nothing else shop Putters getting in the way kah as we just tried to see that jump the big man are heading towards there he is the next Yak ainga brickson you heard it here first on Looney W peak in high school dominance personified in that cares the primary boy mile not to overhype the poor young lad but well done keep up your running enjoy your running indeed where your first or last stick at it a lot of Champions were never winning things at they say ages a lot of them also were yakob was one of the maybe on Looney will go on to great things in the future or any of those men next up on track is going to be the in Yago Memorial t-54 wheelchair 800 met race familiar face of this one call of Isaac Towers we’ve seen him here uh certainly two years ago maybe previous events as well U he is our prior champion in this event two years later he is back and let’s see what sort of form he is in the man from England we’ve got Kyle Brotherton Ben rowlings Towers goes in uh I think he’s in lane four or Lane three and then Sam kak of Poland ilas zundi of England on the outside line the bar is going to go up to 185 and the high jump for our Hungarian Champion poal failure there just from no Mah that’s her second attempt at 310 as we get confirmation of that boys mile on Looney 502 just to 27 seconds to spare over Conor two he in second and then F lry taking the bronze medal well done to all the competitors and indeed all the medalists and we’re back on track for the iano memorial 800 meters t-54 men’s wheelchair race and there are some Heavy Hitters in here from Isaac Towers to Sam kak Elias zundi and others as see there on the outside I think that is Sam K who is racing towards the front there Sam KAC is a very accomplished he’s done Marathon he’s done swimming and he’s a former boxer based in Liverpool and obviously he represents Poland but based in England and his Instagram handle is a great one J it’s called Liverpool look back at the high jump here fed for cage 185 and it’s a first time failure for the hungarians you have two more attempts you has the competition wrapped up ready just going to get himself back into a bit of form here and it’s all action here on the track in this man’s 8 wheelchair race it’s a it’s a fearsome event to watch and I can tell you especially live it is intense the speed these men are coming down the track at now it is true the bell and in the lead Carl who have we got yeah it’s number two from number one that’s Isaac Towers ahead of Ben rowlings at the moment and Towers just but he’s been challenged here at the moment Ben rowlings on the inside is not letting him go but Towers is trying it’s two Englishmen up front and it is the Scott the Polish and the other Englishman trailing behind but he tries to go up on the outside there does Isaac Towers but I think he’s not been let pass by rowlings rowlings in that green strip is just holding the inside line well they’ve hit 600 m in about 126 it’s a good pace and having to do all the extra meters around that bend he’s losing ground there is Ben rowlings and it looks like or sorry is Isaac Towers Isaac Towers is on the outside and in that green it is Ben rowlings who looks to be the stronger can he hold on though Rollings from Towers it is Rollings hanging on but it’s going to be very close Towers is charging we’re right on the line and it was Ben Rawlings who got it who hung on for dear life from that inside Lane he held the inside Lane all the way around that bend and I think Jer in the end that just about handed him the victory absolutely that was a finish and a half I can tell you we are stationed just on the finish line here and that was pure excitement just millimeters in it in the end on the line be a photo finish to confirm their times but a brilliant Brant performance from all those men and Ben rowlings as he said just got to the front and held on Isaac Towers our champion in 2022 has to settle for the silver the second position here on this one just couldn’t quite get in when he needed to there with the you know on that bend held off by rowlings and that was the position the way it stayed the whole way home just couple of centimeters in the in the difference in the end as we see back on the P VA Runway the excitement of that men’s 8 whe race na corri of Middleton AC no good there forc you for Ave at 320 and second attempt at the high jump at 185 for federal P of Hungary results there on the top right from that Ian Jago Memorial 800 met race Ben rowlings as you said is just 300s of a second in the end from Isaac Tower that’s the speed those men were moving at looked like a bigger Gap live but the speed they move at just 300 to separate from elas zundi and Kyle Brotherton and Sam kak and for Kate second attempt no good of course he 185 in the high jump as M Corry just gets herself ready for her next attempt at 320 in the pole vault as we see the medals are being presented there third place Nicola Tuttle on the right second place Jan cavoy on the left and the champion Brooke Anderson it’s a tough summer for her throwing 79 meters and not getting to go to Olympics is cruel but she is making the most of it now out here in the European circuit competing and a win and a big smile on her face for Brook Anderson the third longest Hammer thrower in history on the women’s side in the center of that shot brilliant stuff from those three Hammer ladies you’re seeing a rising Irish star mature before your eyes there in that yellow vest of UCD the cork woman Nicola Tuttle with two Global stars of the event from the United States something that athletes don’t get very often called medals so nice Different Twist here at Cork City Sports these International class athletes picking up their medals on the Podium bit a crack if nothing else and on p v Runway there na corer 320 and she goes clear personal best personal best alert no it’s not I was thought it was 315 I can’t read your 335 is her best but uh certainly much better attempt than her previous and she goes well clear up 320 there cor yeah so we’ve had a brilliant finish in that t-54 Jago Memorial 800 M and next up on track as you can see on the top left it’s going to be the women’s 100 m yeah action coming thick and fast here call the men’s long jum are just getting themselves warmed up here under the main stand as well but we’re starting to heat up on the track into our Sprint action the women’s race two race one and race two the 100 meters followed by the men and as you said up first we’ve got Sarah Lee F Elana Ryan eleno Sullivan Loro lir and Alicia Barrett in this one for race one of the Sentra 100 me home minut so it’s an Irish Affair bearing Alicia Barrett who will line up in the hurdles later on this evening as well but race number one is going to be an interesting one to kick off the Sprints action [Music] here I can see them lining up looks like Poss Al Ryan is absent we have an empty Lane there certainly have S F Amer from right to left just getting the officials to confirm positions two L empty in the middle and the men’s shot put there getting themselves warmed up as well we’ve seen that fantastic competion here last time out with two Irish men going over 20 M John Kelly Eric favor something that we’ve never seen before Eric

soon getting themselves familiar with the sector as the women’s 100 meter race one get themselves ready to go call to our marks couple empty lanes in the middle but keep an eye on Sarah Le there on the right hand side that pink Fest as we are down just after this race I think we’ve got a teaser there we’re going to have something coming up on on the uh the infield but we’re due to have Alicia Barrett F Mesa Sarah Lee Al Ryan Elena Sullivan and Lauren liri coming right up S that pink Fest is a multiple medalist at the Irish national champions and we are away first time cleanly here and look

too yeah the crowd was awesome everyone was cheering for us and cheering us on and um I think it was a really fun comp honestly weather here is a bit chilly than I’m used to but nothing I could manage

sending well done on your win tonight well done thank you [Music] br great to hear from Brooke Anderson there our hammer throw Champion tonight and Brilliant to see an athlete of that caliber here in the flesh at the Cork City Sports truly one of the world’s best not just in her own event but across the disciplines and she put on a show for the crowd and as you can see throwers Are Back In The Habit they’re in the circle for the men’s shot but which will be getting underway soon they’re still in warm-up mode at the moment as you can see none of the numbers are currently visible t-shirt’s still on but the men’s long jumpers are about to get going yeah we saw radola the Irish Champion take his first attempt but that was a 686 so a very modest start for him and this look like Sam Healey on the runway taking his first attempt their local map Nicola a third place finisher at the 70 c City Sports tonight and not far off your season’s best how do you view your performance here this evening good yeah um delighted to have come here it’s my first time doing the Cork City Sports and like I was up here every year as a child watching it so there such a world- class field here um so it’s amazing to be able to come up my top three and would have liked to be a bit more consistent up like closer to that 70 but um I’m training in a very heavy training block at the moment just to get a good bit of training in so delighted yeah crowd were right behind you there tonight big large crowd here in Cork definitely I know it’s um cuz I’ve never competed in Cork Sports before but it’s the crowd is amazing I’ve never um never heard such a cheer it’s lovely um really yeah I think it really helps as well sum up 2024 for us amazing yeah I’m really I’ve had a really good season so I’m looking forward to keeping competing and yeah hopefully building on it again thank you look out for the brilliant Nicola Tuttle at the Paris Olympics in just a few weeks time her Olympic debut she said all her Target this year was for the Europeans when I was talking to her a few weeks ago and it didn’t really bother her too much if she made it or not but of course she wanted to become an Olympian and it came around a lot sooner four years to be precise sooner than she had expected alesandro shenny there on the runway man from Great Britain he is 8 meter jumper at his best so his first attempt you see James Kelly bottom right just getting his warm-up throw in man from fin Valley AC and Dy go and shenny looks like he’s got a red flag there see that flag blowing quite strongly as well did see a 1.6 up on the screen for Poss that women’s 100 m so that would be a legal wind so certainly our 100 and 200 M and hurdlers will be keeping a close eye on those wind gauges for the long jump to see what they’re in for it’s not warm here maybe 15° and Breezy but still uh for Irish and Great British athletes in particular they’ll be well used to this kind of weather to jump far run fast and throw far um as the evening progresses but it’s all action that women’s round two race two rather of the center 100 met up next Molly Scott there on the right of your screen the white and green she will be joined by Renee reges Phil Healey selera Barns and Maran or an Marie rather kikas H Joan Healey Jessica Hunter and Ebony Morrison so Phil Healey in Lane three there the former Irish record holder broken then last year by Sarah 11 who will go on the 100 meter hurdles later has that hurdles record as well as the indoor record br deror and that 100 me again broken cah last weekend at the Irish national champions by none other than Rashid ad now holds every Sprint record there is for Ireland 60 right up through even the odd events like the 300s Char and all the 800 meter Runners tell me that’s a Sprint now so come on Rashida step up your game let’s go for to see a quick look at that high jump result Hungarian on top P 183 for the win 800 was certainly a Sprint of the Paris Diamond league on Sunday sure was 141s falling all over the place 142s cork just uh checking her poll before 340 attempt the women’s 100 meter Runners getting themselves ready to go again kits off behind the blocks Ali Scott Rene reges Phil Healey C barns yeah it looks like they are all present and correct for this I think we may have an addition of Joan Healey on the start list at least but just keep an eye on the lanes to see but certainly don’t want to watch here CA barns in lane four an outstanding Sprinter 1094 at her best truly truly world class yeah she comes here in flying form as well coming off a win in hangal I was talking her there on Sunday she ran 11.19 in horrible conditions so she’s in brilliant form she helped the US say to gold in the world relays back in April so look out for CA barns who was wind assisted at 1094 but she’s won a wind legal 112 she goes in lane four there in that Adidas strip so we don’t have John Healey there we can see that lane six is empty so Phil’s sister Joan not lining up in this one but everyone else present and accounted for yeah I think Joan was hoping to perhaps sign off here but she had to basically call an early retirement in an interview with Kieran mccy Southern St newspaper announced that retirement just in recent days due to heartbreaking injuries for her but we wish her all the best if that is indeed the end of the road but we look out for her sister Phil here going up against some serious International Rivals absolutely so Molly Scott there Jessica Hunter the aluminous yellow shorts and Edy Morrison beside her will go in the hurdles later on today as well and Renee reges in lane two will line up in the 200 meters but what can ca barns produce here this could be blistering let’s see what how the wind fav the these athletes in race two with this women’s 100 meters we’ve got Scott reges kealey barns kikas Hunter and Morrison athletes are on their Mar and there’s a hush descends across the stadium keep an eye on that lane for SL barns mly Scott in Lane one will get away to a blistering start and we are away cleanly first time as Cara Barn is away and she is flying it Rene reg is going very well and two as is Molly Scott in Lane one Phil a bit of work to get back up here Evony Morrison going very well on the outside here but barns is the winner 1115 absolutely blistering and the wind just illegal 3.2 so strong following wind here but 1115 is really really something special here in Cork fantastic running from SL barns at the USA putting on a show here getting the win as she is she was due to do we see son Sullivan on the screen was too fast for her she’s had enough she can’t hack it couldn’t even see it it was that fast but Cela Barn Got Away clear a was away Evony Mars with a brilliant performance there 1136 from Renee reges 1141 Phil Healey first of the Irish 1145 and Molly Scott with a brilliant run of 1156 all wind assisted of course from uh anarie kikas 1170 and Jessica Hunter 1190 so those all unofficial on the infield clock at the minute 11:14 corrected there K I know you would normally say rounded down but selera Barn gets the win for the USA fantastic running from a true world world class printer yeah and I think you know let’s face it these athletes are here in front of us well done SOA barns a truly world class operator but it does underline you have to say just the caliber of run that everyone got to witness at Nationals from Rashida at Lei given that was a wind of half the strength it was a 1.6 I think there Sara Burns a 1094 atlet running with a 3.2 there just a 100 behind that time of rashidi so yeah it’s but great to witness speed like that on Irish tracks from Rashida’s 1113 to ca Burns 1114 and Phil he’s 1145 there but of course we know she’s training for the longer distances looking to do a great turn for two Irish relay teams perhaps at the winner upcoming Olympic Games the mixed 4×4 and indeed the women’s 4×4 and wasn’t she brilliant at the Europeans in Rome great to see Phil Healey the banine bullet back to her very best this year yeah she’d be lining up in that women’s 200 M later on this evening as well uh will be with her relay teammate in that one of Sophie Becker so it’ll be interesting to see those two going head to-head um of course they will be both hopefully heading off to Paris in a couple of weeks heard of those relay and uh silver medals around their neck from the European championships in Rome and the men’s you can just see that high jump presentation so we do have a a joint third there from tavernini and somei on the third Podium and we’ve got our number one our carus of Hungary took the title there gets her gold medal here in Cork shot put just getting raged as the men are lining up to get their introductions we’re going to cut down here stream live stream well pH what was that like for you oh was definitely different running 100 it was actually so much fun definitely got left behind at the start you could tell that I haven’t ran 100’s very often but to come away that close to some of the girls in that field like it’s unreal and I’m looking forward to coming out later doing the 200 the buzz here is unbelievable you can see the stand is full the whole area around the the stadium is full having a games like this competition like this at home which Stacks international field is an abute credit of cor City Sports Committee um and it’s brilliant prep for all of us Irish athletes competing with the best the best before we head off to Paris yeah exactly I was going to said at Phil that this is a good competition for you because it’s all about preparation out for the next few weeks isn’t it absolutely look as a very exciting few weeks for team Ireland in general it’s been a great summer so far and having a as I said having a meet like this on your doorstep is absolutely super we have stacked Fields across all events tonight we’re on the track and in the field um so it’s a great event for the crowd and for everybody to come loc as us and as you said you’ll be pitting your wits against Sophie Becker in the 200th later yeah it’s great to see Sophie drop down to the 200 um so yeah it’s exciting no doubt she’s going to love the atmosphere when she steps out here on the track later um it’s going be very excited [Music] thanks great to hear from Phil Healey the former Irish 100 meter record holder 11.28 second woman at proba is probably her third distance just shows the versatility of how brilliant a spr pH H has been and what a servant she has been over the years for Irish Athletics many athletes faced with her situation could easily have walked away from the sports of recent years when she came to terms with an autoimmune condition it really sapped her strength sapped her energy left her running way below power but she got it right got the levels right fixed her thyroid and now Phil Healey is back she has her energy back she has her Vitality back and she is running better than ever and how great it is to see Phil Healey helping Irish Rel team teams to medals on the international stage can Paris perhaps follow where Rome left off we’ll find out in a few weeks time but brilliant stuff but the job is only half done for Phil Healey tonight and it’s great to hear from there almost like a halftime football interview there Jared to hear from Phil Healey and she’ll be heading out for double a distance later on absolutely no better woman than Phil Healey to talk out more than once we see she was the first atlete to represent Ireland in three events in Olympic Games doing that 200 400 and mixed relay treble in Tokyo and she’s going to have a busy Olympics coming up once again in Paris I’m sure just missed out on that 200 me spot but we’ll be there representing for those relays you see the men’s 100 met race one getting their blocks set just if you want to keep an eye on that field event action Li uh results.on athletics.com that’s m n s t r from Monster and Michael Farley Teddy Wilson Ian cerr Bor yanola Paul Costo coland Doyle and Oscars graa will line up in this one it’s going to be an interesting one here we just see that women’s race to uh s Barn ebony Morrison and Renee reges on the line we’ll see two more of them later on this evening reaches in the 200 and marrison in the 100 meter hurdles you said that men’s 100 met going to be an interesting one we had Oscar graa individual 200 m in uh in Rome as the shut is kicking off that’s a best that I’m not for near it but get a good look at yeah that’s number six that’s Tas PESA he’s from the Czech Republic or czechia as it’s now known so that’s why you’re not familiar with it J you haven’t been spending enough time competing in the Czech system what have you been playing it broad enough this year it’s actually north core KC car oh close enough I thought that eight was a six that’s Callum keing of Ireland apologies Callum and clubmates and family never mind Callum apologize to me you still haven’t been spending enough time in the Czech Club system true it’s very true C keing gets the action underway there on the screen certainly this is Tas proesa of CIA I recognize him of course of course I know him well he’s a 19 35 M throw at his best how he would love to get out over that 20 M Mark we saw it here here a couple of years ago historically from the two Irish men John Kelly and Eric favers what’s today going to bring as I said results.on athletics.com with that uh the field ofand action of the men’s long jump and the P VA and the men’s high jump is just uh Jason SMI you’re seeing in the men’s long jump he was a finalist at the US Olympic trials an outstanding jumper yeah 752 he went in his first round jump so he is in the lead as it stands from Sam Healey and Shane Howard sorry rather is in second from San H so three are three cork men in this one it’s four in fact Ryan Ono in there as well as re adola yeah Long Beach State University graduate it’s Jason Smith Frank Alber there in the shop putut that man’s high jump as I mentioned is Du to get underway very shortly in all Irish Affair here and that is the five men from the Irish National Championship certainly the top three or The Medalist it was a joint medal there for the man but David cousen took the title there Conor peny 15 years old 209 at his best this year so he’ll be a very interesting one to look at that was Jeff kleene of the United States in the men’s shot put again not the best angle behind them there to just see where those shots are landing and the men’s 100 met race one has just been called to its marks as Shane Howard Powers down the Run way in that long jump and he gets a red flag unfortunately so 100 met men are just called off their Mar once again that that was very kind of them they knew we hadn’t given it the proper introduction but this is what you might call the B race I suppose race one the second race that’ll be following it will be have the athletes with the faster personal bests and season’s bests but there’s certainly no slouches here bakola there silver medal behind Israel Lund in that UCD vest in Lane five get a quick look at yesper arbing of Sweden in the men’s shot putut 1997 in the first round track Bor aola there in the yellow of PD in second place there at the 100 meters national championships here in Ireland so what can he do here today in race one I’m sure he he would want to be in that faster race to show what he’s worth but he’s going to have some good competition here from the likes of Ian CER the Bahamas Teddy Wilson of Great Britain and Oscars graa as well as his countryman and we are away cleanly first time Ian CER is going there very well in the in the pink of Nike he looks to be clear at the minute beside him there is Ian sorry Ian C just coming through in the Adidas and it was Teddy Wilson that was out so well there 10:34 on the clock plus 3.9 so a huge Tailwind here once again and we wait to see what the times are like behind that but orak canola for UCD didn’t get quite get away as well as he normally does back in that shot but Circle but we might see a replay that man’s 100 meter very shortly but Teddy Wilson there in the uh fluorescent pink of the night kit young man from graer in the 1026 PB this year Ian Kerr the Bahamas beside him the Eds came through quite strongly and it was Kerr who got the win we’ve seen him here competing in the past he’s in that 200 meters later today you can see that replay there ainola in the yellow in the middle had to settle for third and 1045 got out quite well but it was um Teddy Wilson there just going very very well in Lane three a gap there to Michael Farley in Lane one but Wilson certainly had the command of this race for the first 70 80 90 M before Ian Kerr decided you know what I’m coming through this is for me borak canola in second probably for a lot of it too but had to set with the third these men pulling away towards the end inur showing that strength and extensive dip to get the win Oscars graa hook fourth Colin Doyle Paul costlo and Michael Farley as you see on screen now rounding it out plus 3.9 as he said on the clock uh on the wind gauge rather so no legal times here so far this evening on the Sprints and I can assure you that the spectators are getting an up close and personal view of the men’s longum because the poor man in front of me here was just watching Colin Burke well he wasn’t actually watching as Colin Burke hit the send the Lego long jumper but he got a faceful Ascend as he stood alongside the railings anyway it’s 4D experience it is a 4D experience telling you this is number nine Li Shaw of Ireland in the men shot put yeah young man from goway is making good strides up through the ranks multi-event into the shop putot and now he is battling his way up to the senior weight so progression to be made every competition for young Liam Shaw certainly here is radola the youngster fifth at the world under 20 championships two years ago the 21-year-old corkman such talent such ability 793 indoors this year he’s threatening that 8 m barrier all the time it almost seems a matter of time if he stays healthy before reset aola breaks 8 m and you’re not seeing double here that is Alex adola in the shop so that’s an interesting lineup we’ got here Alex is a multi adventor so the two men both 6’9 6’1 one in the shop but one in the long job it’s a pretty or Reese didn’t start his jump a little bit early there would have been a nice little uh Montage but certainly something you don’t see too often Alex in the shop but Reese and the long jump Alex definitely likes his brother because you’re never you’re never copying his hairstyle or maybe ree copied Alex who knows who knows either way it’s a family affair and REE is powering down the long job here he’s getting a big clap from the crowd he just runs through on this one unfortunately so Alex wins this one he puts I think Alex put him off yeah Alex wins I think he said my hair is way cooler than yours hopefully we get the head to-head on every round now of this yeah two rising stars of Irish Athletics and great to follow their progress re has made his name internationally already and I’m sure will be again in the years to come as we look back that is didn’t quite catch that number might be Simon Missour of Poland yeah just kind a look at the results here to get an update on those men’s throws Big Field in that Men’s Shop put a good domestic uh turnout as well for it like you said it’s great for athletes local atlet get a chance to compete in world class meets like this and against truly World CLA operators current standings in that shot put so jper aringer 1997 so close to that 20min Mark Victor Peterson 1981 Frank ala 8 82 top three so far Jeff kin in third and Sam Healey just put a run through in the long jump and we are in that third round early in the third round of that men’s long jump I can tell you that Jason Smith the Californian is out front with 752 at the moment Shane Howard the local lad is back in second with just behind with 749 and then it is reys adola another local lad back in third so right now it’s USA AOK on top with Jason Smith that finalist from the US Olympic trials just recently a man who’s gone well beyond 8 m The Graduate of the wonderful rear and high school in San Francisco but he’s ahead of the two corkman as things stand but it’s still early days and that men’s long jump will keep an eye and as you can see everyone in the stands and alongside that Runway has a brilliant view of these athletes this is alesandro skinny of Great Britain he’s on the runway arms spread wide 24y old represents GI knock North STL University season’s best of 777 as skini just see the presentation for that uh Ian Jago Memorial 800 M for the t-54 wheelchair man Ben rowlings taking the win in that one in a really exciting race from Isaac Towers but 300s of a second and ilas zunda a couple of seconds back in third skini the 24 year-old Britain did not like to look at that one he was third at the British championships recently personal best of 8 m goes back to last year but something a miss and he’s just shaking his head as he walks past in front of us but he’ll have a few more chances banini to get things right 718 at the moment he’s down in sixth so next up on track it’s going to be the a race you could call it in the men’s 100 m yeah just after this presentation we get look at those men they have their blocks set up and they’re still in their kit ready to go staying warm so Roland zunda here is Jason Smith on the runway the leader in the men’s long jump to California and Sprints down the runway great speed and elevation does he get the white flag he does the official gave him a nervous few seconds there thinking about it but Jason Smith is out of the runway Batten that sand off his spikes The Long Beach State graduate still based in San Diego just outside San Diego I think a youngster who’s gone places 25y old jumped 813 already this year as we’ll see a slow-mo of this jarro donnald can give us his technical expertise on how you jump have a look at the scoreboard on the infield here to see what the shows up as 727 it’s com into the system there so Jason Smith it’s no improvement but he stays out front on [Music] 752 Jason Smith of course a name that’s familiar to all in Irish and international Athletics especially in the paralympic world the fastest paralympian in the world for so long his career has now finished Jason Smith see the so many fastest men here stripping off call Gerald quo Kobe Hilton CJ green rway manga Errol Simmons Israel Lund and JT Smith taking to the field in this one and is AR’s fastest man in history 1017 at those European championships in Munich 2 years ago for a sixth place finish back into good form National Title last weekend The Season’s best got to the semi-finals in the uh Rome en Roman the 100 meters he is chipping away at those times this year but he’s going to have a lot of competition from the likes of Kobe hson CJ green MinGa and JT Smith in particular in that [Music] one looking back to the long jump there that is number seven that’s Yanni Samson of Belgium he is wearing the Belgian national vest good to see that introductions ongoing for the men’s 100 met I think we can probably go back over to the men’s 100 met cuz only moments away I’d say before they get called into the [Music] blocks yeah really interesting this one CJ green 10 z0 in Claremont earlier this season and manga a world under 18 Champion over 200 m in 2017 100 me Silver as a windy 993 to his name back off a a doping ban unfortunately but he is back a couple of years now getting towards his best again see what he can put down here in Cork this even JT Smith Ninth at the US trials this year so he is in good form got himself a medal in the brast world championships as part of that 4×1 team last year they ran in the semi-final for USA and Israel alund of Ireland out there in lane8 he carries Irish hopes on his shoulder we do have Lane six empty Sebastian Sultan of Australia one of the best names there is so at the moment in tracking field you go on that 4 by1 Rel team to haris for the Australians but he is absent let’s keep an eye on those middle Lanes as always manga L four green in three and in Lane 2 Kobe Hilton is a lightning start there he 651 indoors over 60 M and it is away as predicted Hilton is flying it there in the tracksmith strip in Lane 2 he’s going to come away with this one so far he is away and he is clear he’s got he has got daylight 109 the win says 2.2 just over the limit that would be a personal best I think for Kobe Hilton he has run into 10 ons many many times so far is here 108 it’s corrected for Kobe Hilton fantastic performance for the young American man CJ green back in 1020 and Hilton I think has been uh playing his trade around the South uh east of Ireland for a while now in the last few weeks with Kevin cogley keeping an eye on him down there amongst others not sure what the link is I’m sure Kevin will tell us but Hilton certainly Irish eyes smiling on him this evening 108 for Kobe Hilton a brilliant performance here we see the play this one in lanee two there in that uh black one piece with the stripe across yeah J he sted the best and he ran the fastest and really that’s the story of the race yeah the man who crosses the line first is the the fastest starter uh CJ green 1020 in second and earol Simmon got third from JT Smith I just have to wait and see what Isel Lund pulled out of the bag there we have a 1029 for fifth Down with No Name at the moment but just another quick look at that rep as I said 651 Hilton has run indoors so we knew he was going to get away and get away fast but once he got out there was no coming back that little Tailwind really really helped him The Tall Man in Lane too not the ideal Lane you want to be in the middle in the mix but he was streaks clear you don’t often see a gap like that in a Sprint which is won so quickly yeah 12 hundreds of a second for Hilton you can see high stepping there with his knees textbook technique he got a bit ragged there in the last 20 M the Tailwind may have been influenced him in that he was probably running a bit faster than he expected to be running tonight but a brilliant performance by Kobe Hilton takes Victory with that 10:8 and Trevor is now with Ireland’s fastest man Israel Lund some races competition for you here in Cork tonight yeah of course you know that’s what I expected I knew it was going to be some stiff competition it’s a great meet that that um of course the Esports is put on so I just want to come out here and compete the best of my ability I’m really happy to do that what’s your view of your performance here I think I did pretty well you know I was in the mix obviously you want to finish as high as you can so I’ll go back and look look at it and see where I can improve but you know I just a really great atmosphere here um so I really had some fun during that race what it’s all about as an improvement in every race you enter yeah of course you know after Nationals you know of course um I don’t have any more time just to focus on this year but just about showing up having fun and putting on a show for the Irish fans been an exciting year for you though isn’t it 100% you know for myself and also for our likes in general you know um it’s been great um an aete but also I’m A F of the sport so it’s been great seeing all the all the Great Performances Irish athletes are putting down yeah certainly is been a great year for for Irish atics really isn’t it yeah 100% I know it’s going to continue on this summer what about the crowd just finally here a massive crowd and cork yeah it’s beautiful I guess this is why why I came down to race cuz I it’s going to be a great cred great atmosphere I love racing in irland Irish cred so yeah ladies gentl yeah great to hear from Israel a tund there 10:25 was his time on the clock in the infield for fourth placee Ireland’s fastest man and as he said just brilant to be competing amongst the best down here in Cork and to see the rise of Athletics in Ireland at the moment yeah next race on track will be the women’s 3,000 M the cork ETB women’s 3,000 M but we’ll keep an eye on the field events for the time being before we’re introduced to some budding Olympians specifically Sophie O Sullivan will be running the 1500 meters for Ireland at the Olympics in just a few weeks time she’ll be racing to 3,000 M but now it’s presentation time for that men’s 100 met us and Kobe Hilton getting his gold medal there on top of the podium Cork City Sports Champion in that 108 just 2.2 wind slightly over the limit of 2 but a fantastic performance and one that will give him great confidence now going into his summer season in [Music] Europe Kobe all class well done 108 on a cool night in Cork as we see that stand packed how great that is to see the recently reopened MTU track Kobe Hilton confirmation there the American takes Victory 10:8 DJ green 1020 for second and Erol Simmons in third with 1025 and Israel olund his season’s best was 1027 that’s not wind legal just over but that’s still pretty much a step forward we can call it for Israel olund getting back towards his very best form after a tough tough year or two since that brilliant sixth place finish in the European final two years ago where he ran that remarkable 107 I can tell you we’ve had a full start jur in the women’s 3,000 MERS that’s how eager they are to get these s and 1 half laps out of the way they have F started over in the backstraight but we won’t miss a second of that because they have been told get back on the line stand back behind the line and we’ll very much look forward to a great 7 and a half lap race that features a host of International Quality from the likes of Britain’s Verity endan USA’s Taylor Verner Irish women Rosen Flanigan Sophia Sullivan and of course elanar Fulton as well of America USA she’s in there to Colorado on Native when you see the likes of Kobe Hilton Israel rund CJ green get out of the blocks at that call it’s hard not to be too eager and go ahead of time as we see the full lineup there of those women in that 3,000 M just a waiting their starters orders once again there’s a few craned necks said Michelle fin adario PTO Suarez CL Fagan Tiana mesana Co Nancy Sher up vix to and eler filon Sophia San caraan Ryan and we are away finally K underway this women’s 3,000 M sport sped by cork ETB big Big Field here as well but it is a a cool windy night in Cork so I’m sure a bit of shelter from some of these athletes they’ll be happy enough yeah as we said we’ve seen a lot of 3 m/ second Tailwinds there up the home street but all takes away from you when you have to run into it up the back straight As we see the two-time Olympian Michelle Finn from Ireland she won’t be going this year but she’s going to be doing a good pacing job here one of the most experienced athletes in Irish atletics TOS this field through in about 33 seconds and Sophia Sullivan the soon to be Olympian over 1500 meters the daughter of Sonia Sullivan for so long she always gets that suffix added to her name that she’s Sonia’s daughter but she is very much carving out a name and a career all of her own one of the fastest Irish women in history over the distance European under 23 gold medalist the tallest athlete in the field she’s tucked in there in third place at the moment Michelle Finn leading it out and it looks a decent pace right now and there is plenty of quality in here when you look at Verity endan of Britain you know she was a European indoor bronze medalist in 2021 silver recently at the UK Champs over 5,000 m they go through in 70 seconds there so that’s 845 Pace that’ll be a personal best for most of these women but some of them have run quicker than that looking specifically at Sophia Sullivan who’s run 844 as has elanar fton of USA so personal best in the offing here and a bit of key strength work for the likes of Sophia Sullivan before she drops down to 1500 in Paris that was a Callahan just failing at 190 in the men’s high jump he has gone clear at 180 has as has Emanuel osas who also cleared 185 Ben Donovan Ben Donovan is out at that one for 185 180 his best clearance and this is is Emanuel osas going for 190 his first attempt and it is a failure there as well unfortunately yeah and back on track Michelle Finn to be fair is keeping this very honest and very consistent and doing a great pacemaking job she’s one of the most experienced athletes in Irish middle distance running and she’s doing a brilliant job here taking these women up to 800 meters she’s been cross training the house down for the last eight or nine months injuries derailed her bid at the Paris Olympics and she was conf find the cross trainer in the aqua jogging pool and all the rest of it she’s hitting form again but she’s hitting form a little bit too late but she’s doing a great pacing job and she’s just starting to Gap the field just a little there and that is elanar Fulton in second the tall blonde athlete from the United States she’s an 844 athlete at her best she too is no stranger to injuries the University of Washington graduate the Colorado Native such a big talent but she’s getting back towards her best form she ran 407 for 1500 M last year and made a semi-final recently at the US Olympic trials elanar Fulton did the facto leader at the moment or will be when Michelle Finn steps aside yeah Yanni Samson just a run through there in the men’s long job for Belgium and the shot put Alex adola gets a red flag and cut across to Connor Penny in The High job at 190 and he just saes clear that one Conor Conor Penny as we mentioned briefly earlier just 15 years of age and he’s cleared 209 already this year silver medalist at the national championship behind David couson in Ireland just last week but 209 15 and is also a very accomplished Sprint hurdler is Penny his progression will be certainly one to watch over the next number of years breaking records all around but they’re coming through 1,200 in the women’s 3,000 M 333 on the clock so 71 second laps adds up to about 852 but you can expect him to kick it on from here and Michelle Finn is just getting a little reminder there from Nancy sherop the Kenyan the aex chjo camp atlet up into second at the moment and just says push it on there Michelle I want to go fast perhaps aware that that pace has just lagged slightly off the 845 Pace they had set out with and Michelle Finn duy responds like the brilliant experience that LE she is she kicks it into gear she leads ahead of Nancy Sher up elanar fton is back in third and then it is number eight which is Taylor Verner the American she’s an atlete we haven’t yet mentioned but she’ll be one to watch and Verity endan of Britain there the on running at in that on running strip she’s back in fifth at the moment these are this is the class of this field on paper Sophia hasn’t yet been in her best form this year but she’s improving race to race she’s about 30 m back at the moment she’s about back in seventh this would be out of her comfort zone as a 1500 meter specialist with an 800 met background so Sophia Sullivan be looking to hang in and try and break 9 minutes here but we’ll concentrate on the race up front because five athletes have broken away and they are our pacemaker Michelle FN Nancy sherop of Kenya elanar fton of USA Taylor Verner of USA and Verity ainan of Britain yeah nice clearance there from man osas in the high jump as well at 190 on his second attempt and we see ree adola Hometown favorite lining up on the long jump Runway see what he can do in his next round after men’s shop just still getting that Circle warmed up man in his T-shirt getting ready for his next round effort but adola gets the crowd going here what can he produce here in the fourth round I think in the men’s long jump round three in fact and adola storms down looks like a clean jump let’s have a look at the board on the if he looks quite big from my gauge of the markings along the side of the pit I think that could be up towards the 750 Mark and he gets the White Flag that’s the most important part as the uh measurement is taken and back towards that man’s jump and they’re coming up to 2 km here in the women’s 3,000 M and the pace is up five 47 so they’re going to smash the 99 minute barrier here they might even challenge the 840 barrier and it is Nancy sherro the Kenyon leads two Americans they are uh Taylor Verner in second and elanar Fon in third and then it is the Britain elanar F or Verity ainan back in fourth so Nancy sherop has kept this Pace on us and she’s doing the athletes behind her a big favor here Nancy sherop is an 852 at lead at her best but she’s going to smash that she’s on course to smash it anyway with 800 M to run back in second Taylor verer a very talented atlete she’s run dropping down to 1500 meters recently she’s kind of a background at 5K and 10K she was a panamerican games 5,000 meter silver medalist last year graduated the University of Arkansas and there’s an Irish connection there too for Taylor Verner because she is under the guidance of Coach aliser Craig the former National Record holder at 5,000 m and indeed at 10,000 M I think he still has that National Record if I’m not mistaken and um he is coaching the Puma Elite group in North Carolina so sending one of his troops here to Cork and Alisa Craig was no stranger to Cork City Sports back in the day eer Taylor verer in second place there the American who looks to be back to her best form and looks to be on track to perhaps smash her personal best of 851 with 600 M to run that was Shane Howard on the long jump run with there just looks like a jump of around 720 is and REE adolo that previous round effort call 771 straight into the lead he takes it um Shane Howard on his third attempt 725 I’ve confirmed my calibration from the commentary box here is whatever I can see at about 20 cm to it and that’s about accurate so who needs lasers we have that measurement but Taylor verer goes to the front with 450 to run what does Nancy sherop have to respond with Verity Oken in now overtakes elanar Fulton she’s up into third the on running atlete great to see ver yinan running them so well 1510 she ran in Vienna last month for 5,000 m she is strong veren and looking for her closing in this last 300 M but tor wner is pushing things along with 300 M to run 754 on the clock all these four women are on for personal best which is no mean feet in a cool windy conditions here at Cork City Sports and Taylor verer well on her way here as I said a background at 5,000 m 10,000 M she’s run a 50 5,000 m personal best last year 15 nor3 she is very strong but she’s run a couple of 412 1500 she’s pretty fast as well as Taylor verer and she’s going to need to be fast and strong over this last 150 because Verity aanan of Britain is trying to close her down and aanan has speed herself she’s a 1510 athlete last month and she has strength can aan run down verer it looks like verer might just hold on but ainan is closing just with every stride but verer is strong took this race on in the ultimate lap and America’s Taylor Verner runs to victory in a personal best of 843 it is also a personal best I think in second for Verity ainan 846 was her previous best Nancy sherop of Kenya she’s got a personal best as well in third coming through in fourth that is number 10 which is jul Julia van vovin of the Netherlands just about dips under 9 Minutes Sophia Sullivan just coming up to the line now alongside irelands Eda McDonald very close for them around 9:08 910 on the clock for the two Irish women as they come across brilliant race there once again we see the national cross country champion there Fiona everard and Ireland’s Anica Thompson as well who’s run at the European cross country and Clare Fagen a Mullingar coming across the line they’re all Irish Internationals they’re well behind today but we be sure we seen them in Irish vest before too long again but a brilliant win there for Taylor Verner took it on in the penultimate lap great pacing job by Michelle Finn early on and Nancy shup did her big favor by keeping things honest in that second kilometer but in the end Taylor wner had the Speed and the strength to bring it home absolutely brilliant Runing as you said in cool windy conditions here in Cork Taylor verer a cork ETB 3000 M Champion here at the Cork City Sports for 2024 big PB and colum Burke there just into the pit in the L we can tell you that Jason Smith made an attempt to respond to re adola but just out to 760 so not quite back into his lead 771 adola still holds that lead not and Burke will wait to see what his result [Music] is you see another big throw on that Men’s Shop put as you said results.on athletics.com to keep an eye on those field events results as they live update see back on the ler Runway I think that is the Chan toas pachasa sorry that’s the sh you won’t be in that one that was in fact uh that is alesandro skini of Britney I remember him from the last jump he’s an 8 meter jumper at his best but he was disgusted with himself in the third round he responded with a 707 but he has still lots of work to do and it is as I mentioned it is cool but it’s good jumping conditions those jumpers have a Tailwind behind them but that of course can cause its own issues with hitting your Mark right but we’ll see what skini can produce here we kind of have a splattering of failures across but everyone has a couple of clean jumps in so if you get the right wind here maybe he can nail it so let’s have keep an eye on sashini keep a look at the flags he’s still not too enthused by that one he kind of lethargically gets out of the pit gets the white flag from David Murphy there the official it will get measured let me just use my laser eye here I think that’s going to be around 718 call I trust you J more than I trust those lasers absolutely let’s see what I come up with and we’re going to pop down track side to [Music] Trevor Sophie uh what was that like to running here at the 70 cor the sports tonight um yeah it’s always good to run at home um or in Cork it’s like when you definitely circle on the calendar and you want to run well it um yeah so it was um really fun class field wasn’t it um yeah it goes great um it’s you know one if you run in C you want to run well um um so a little bit disapp morning to not um run as well as um I can but um yeah it’s all right there’s no 1,500 M so hence you run into 3,000 but still good preparation for you for a few weeks time um yeah yeah it’s just all building I guess and um you know it’s all good training so um you know you’re only getting better so it’s a a great um little you know help with that so yeah just put into context for you personally to go to your first Olympics and Paris in a few weeks um yeah no it’s really exciting I’m I’m super excited to go um yeah I guess this um one of the things that happens quickly so um yeah not really sure how to feel about that one but um yeah no excited to go there m is here tonight we’ll get a chance to talk to her after I know she made made a way over Before the Race so give you some advice maybe um yeah uh I don’t know I just kind of want to come check where the wind was to be honest I guess I didn’t really need to know cuz I wasn’t wasn’t using much wind there um but uh yeah I just finally uh s awarding the crowd here tonight it’s a fantastic atmosphere isn’t there oh yeah it’s super um like so many people um yeah like it’s always great coming here but the last time was here I think it was 2018 so like five six years ago and it’s definitely um it’s got gotten way more uh more people and more traction and just keep building so it’s really exciting to watch and be a part of yeah so just to find one that preparations on track then for Paris um yeah yeah yeah I think so yeah happy cheers thanks [Music] sopie you’ll always get honesty from sopia suiv I think when Trevor asked her preparations on P you went uh yeah but obviously 3,000 M very much out of Sophie’s comfort zone and a great win recently at the national championship she is on her way back to Fitness Sam Healey there in the long rway he is in fourth place at the minute with 739 his best that previous jump from uh Shany of griet and was 715 c i was 3 cm out my prediction unfortunately so I need to recalibrate for the next one but yeah you’re way off Sam hey can he pull something out of the bag here to get up into third he’s going to need 749 his clubmate Shane Howard has that at the moment from Jason Smith in second and R adola PS that lead with 771 you can see him there towering over Sam Healey behind him his clubmate and he just runs through this one he just holds his hands up to the Heavens to say come on man get with it we’ve got one more attempt Sam to get yourself into those Podium positions this is round five and we’re just three men through and the race one of the women’s 100 meter HD sponsor

let’s keep an eye on this one and we are away cleaning and Scott there in that pink Fest is away quite well and Barett in the middle going well as is Marley Jessup there Marley Jessup probably coming away in the lead here it is H clattering all around but Marley Jessup is away in clear she’s got a meter lead so far can she hold on on the inside it’s going to be very very tight Barrett with a brilliant brilliant finish but I think Jessup just held on from Barrett and Linda bishell there on the inside so brilliant brilliant run there from Marley Jessup 1330 her best that was 1340 one on the clock and it looks like a legal win there just a hurdle obscuring me at the moment I think it is a 0.7 it certainly feels quite Cal here yes it is 1342 for Marley Jessup she held on for that Victory she had a meter clear with a hurdler two to go but Barrett closing an absolute train Barrett a very experienced thatly the finalist of the com games in the past and has completed the World Championships back in London 2017 and we just get a look at that replay here again because it was a really really interesting running off that last hurdle especially Linda bishell got the third spot in 1351 and it was uh indeed Marley Jessup from hurdle one onwards you can see all the work that Barrett had to do here you know she closed that down to 200s of a second in the end but the winner held on in style Marley Jessup from the gun takes that atletics Ireland race w 100 meter hurdles yeah great way to warm up for the race that’s to come which will feature even faster atlet a slew of sub3 second women as you see there the distance that Barrett came back for there was astonishing hle one was the the end of treen CA race unfortunately he clipped that straight away and then by hurdle forward it was no goal anymore but to see a bit big wobble off the last hurdle there from Jessup but held on enough to get herself that win in r one of the women’s hurdles yeah next up on track as I mentioned will be the aace we can call it with the likes of Sarah Lavin taking on an international field that includes ebony Morrison of Liberia and T bonds 12.6 127 women David Cen goes easily clear 205 he’s a 216 man at his best and 205 proving no hard feed for him to see so goes clear quite easily and I said 0.7 m/ second on the wind gauge there so it’s certainly uh becoming much more favorable for the athletes in the field events maybe the athletes in the hurdles would like a little bit more tail in but that can be a Havoc as well or a hazard rather um in the hurdles events especially but as you said call we do have Sarah laav that National Champion National Record holder former National 100 meter record holder as well as of until last week but she goes up against a stellar international field here we seen ebony Morrison run a very fast 100 meters earlier not very long go at all Jessica hunter in that 100 me also meta gravis scard has been into European indoor finals alongside Sarah lav in the past just trying to find her form again won’t be going to Paris unfor the hurles and Conor Penny just with a failure in that men’s high jump for the 15-year-old but that women’s H hurdles is going to be something special we’ve seen SAR Lavin finish in second uh two years ago at this event she was leading her well up in the lead until a Herer two to go but let’s see what she can do here de even she’s uh come along even more from then even though she was already in fantastic form we’re into the final round of the men’s long jump and that was um alesandro scenini of Great Britain he is down in sixth place so everyone’s on their final jumps now I can tell you that reola the home favorite is hanging on with that brilliant 7 771 in the fourth round he leads ahead of USA is Jason Smith who has graduated to 760 as jar mentioned in that fourth round and then back in third it’s Shane Howard another cork jumper brilliant cork jumper 749 his opening effort still his best but 11 C or only what 22 cm to choose between our top three it’s Ireland out front USA second and Ireland back in third as we’re coming down the stretch in the men’s long jump and this in the top left ear screen is Belgium’s Yanni Samson he’s down in fifth at the moment with a best of 722 and we they make sure the women’s 100 meter hurdlers are just behind their blocks soon as there we’ll try and get over to them we’ll get you a look and we’ll be focusing on [Applause] that and you see the the Belgian here in the long jump Samson Samson he gets a red flag he is headed hands unfortunately for that one so that’s the end of his competition as we see these meter hurdlers in race two the Athletics are women’s met hurdles meta grais scar T bonds Sarah Lavin e Morrison Isabel Wakefield Milik amini and Jessica Hunter Talia bonds there as well a really interesting atlete from the USA final of those us trials last week uh or two weeks ago at this stage 1265 at her best Sarah 11 is the fastest in the field on personal best she’s going to need to get away well here and carry that home she always finishes strong hurdle two as her come up at the European championships after a blistering start but let’s see can she hold on for a win here on home turf let’s keep an ey the fastest at leetes in three four and five and then we are away let’s keep an eye on Sarah lav here at the home favor and it’s a very very good start from neb tomorrow since she was fasten 100 Meers earli but Lavin is coming through well now bond has got a a lot of work to do to catch up but it is lav Win clear can she hold on to the last ear and she’s going to take the win 1285 big celebrations on the the inside of infield of the the local fans here just holds off the American and the Li Ian bonds and Morrison brilliant win for Sarah Lavin 1285 plus 1.8 m/ second on the clock 1283 it’s corrected here from Talib Bond 1295 sub 13 as well and another one sub3 is Ebony marrison with 1299 met grais guard 1315 I think that’s going to be a big season’s best for her it’s coming a little bit too late but when you’re battling back from injuries any Improvement is positive news and Isabelle Wakefield 1327 just G to 31 and Alicia mini Mia amini rather with 1353 so we can see here it’s very very tight from those three atlast those three fastest ATL in the field Morrison was way very very fast he is a very strong 100 meter Runner as we seen earlier today but the class of the field Sarah Lavin in that second half just pulled away from tally bonds and Ebony marrison marrison that little bit of fatigue in the legs perhaps from the 100 meters area this headon shot shows a little bit more for this first Turtle there right in the middle there blonde hair bonds to her right on the screen there three of them were kind of rising similarly Morrison possibly had the lead for those first two three hurdles but the composure the strength the technique of Lavin just carrying her home away and clear that is Sarah Lavin’s 11th race of the Season outdoors and every single one of them has been 126 127 128 and the slowest of them was 1294 remarkable consistency from the emerald AC atlast and I would imagine that National Record of 126 62 is living on borrowed time but back to the long jump because it’s the local ad the rising star of Irish long jumping reys Adam MOA he still leads with that 771 but Jason Smith the American rival will be Ying it up what can adola do it doesn’t look like I think his feet just dragged a little there in the landing but he’s happy with it he looks very happy with it but is it the competition overall I think he’s celebrating because he may well have done enough with that 771 in fourth round Reet amola but as I mentioned Jason Smith the Californian is a 8 plus meter jumper so he will have eyes on usurping that 771 by Reet amola in this Sixth and Final Round 760 I think that’s showing up as for adona there and the most important thing is that he’s finishing the competition healthy that’s been his issue all year not been able to put a a string of competitions together as any atlete in any event knows that but the consistency is the main thing for knocking out your biggest Mar so re obviously a fantastic atlete just needs to try and keep himself healthy now more often than he’ll get that 8 m jump and well well beyond just in a brief look at the results of that one there are still or the current standings there are still jumpers to go we see the sorry we just see the podium here for that women’s H tally bonds Le Morrison and a huge Roar for Sarah Lavin getting her gold medal as I say that unique aspect of the Cork City Sports here John Cronin the president of atletics Ireland presenting that medal the sponsors of those hurdles races and a very very popular home favorite is Sarah Le yeah you will go a long time look at that look at the reception it is ongoing that round of applause in those cheers I was going to say you will go a long way before you find a more liked and loved atly than Irish Athletics than Sarah Lavin who is a class act on the track off the track with the fans with the media and everyone will be wishing her well on the path to the Paris Olympics next month this is Shane just taken his final attempt just keep an eye on the screen see we get a third place at the moment looking for 760 he’s on 749 his best so far needs 760 and he’s got it 770 for Shane Howard moves him up into second place overtakes Jason Smith theot the American to Third and he’s just 1 cmet behind reset amola he will have no further chance to improve so that man at the top left your shot Jason Smith the only man who can now usurp reola and his fellow corkman Shane Howard at the top of the standings he’s done it before has Jason Smith as we see the men’s 3,000 M ready to roll there but Jason Smith grew up in San Francisco now living in SoCal Southern California he has one chance he has soared well beyond 8 m already this year 813 his season’s best in Chula Vista where he also trains just outside Los Angeles 25 years old graduate of Long Beach State University Jason Smith 7 60 his best so far tonight he needs 770 for second or 771 to join resola at the top of the CES can he produce it pressure jump don’t think that’s going to be enough this evening he gives it a kind of rejected Round of Applause but I don’t think he’s going to breach those top two spots again just 1 cm separate the two clubmates gentlemen or rather the the Bandon AC and the L man the two cork men in this one Shane Howard and re adola Jason Smith a result of 742 for his final jump so not quite enough it’s going to be third position for the American on this case man who’s gone well clear of8 meters in the past but not today and the champ is the local reola The champ is here reola and he’ll have the bragging rights with his brother Alex this evening but looking back on track to the men’s 3,000 M and they are moving at lightning Pace specifically Nick rigs who has slotted in behind the pacemaker in that orange vest the 19-year-old Irishman just a slight Gap then further back it looks to be number 20 that is Olan hacker of the United States who is probably the favorite I would have to say for this race who ran a 138 5,000 m indoors this year the 2022 NCAA Champion he slots in there in third in that Northern Arizona University singlet but Nick ggs the Irishman he could be going after Daren melin’s Irish under 23 record here that stands at 72.8 6 Griggs has been coming all the way up breaking a lot of Mel henn’s records but Mel heny has a chance to defend his home track here he was brilliant two years ago he slots in there behind Nick rggs back in place it has not been a good season this year for darl meleny by his own lofty standards but he’s coming back into a bit of form late few health problems earlier on the summer just costum is shot at going for the Paris Olympics but in that black vest back in fifth at the moment and we see a couple of the athletes from Kenya that is Amos langat and Matthew cauto the aex athletes moving up on the outside getting involved here as they pass 1 km and J this is blazing 233 on the clock we’re on for sub 740 at the moment absolutely I want ignasio pñ there of the doubl track club just leading this one out one very very well indeed and you can see your down track side just how fast these men are moving sometimes on the screen it doesn’t look quite as Swift but you can see by how strong out the field already are after just nearly 3 minutes of racing U how fast this race is taking off so as you say Grigg’s just slotting in there behind the pacemaker he’s a man that’s com back into good form and health as well he’s had an up and down season himself trying to battle towards that 1500 met spot at the Olympics but just outside that and we are going to just cut down track side very quickly in the meantime with Sarah lav the winner of the women’s H hurdles well Sarah congratulations that was pretty fast on the new track here yeah it was it was great to arrive down on our surface it’s brand new um and the crowd here that’s here tonight um when like my name got called out I was like oh there you have to win this one tonight so um yeah brilliant it’s brilliant to have this just down the road now from home another sub 13 for you and it was it was pretty quick wasn’t it and in stiff competition as well yeah that was I think that’s what I kind of will take from it I would have liked to maybe go a little bit quicker but I guess um going in with the other girls there’s very little between us on paper so to be 0.1 over 01 and um and get the win is relatively cool enough tonight um but the wind was in the right directions though you describe there uh after the race as the most loyal and popular athlete Ireland uh kind words and uh the the crowd Cy took to you tonight as well again oh I didn’t pay them I promise um but that’s really yeah I don’t know I need to find out who said that I bet you bet you there’s a bias there but no it’s it’s so nice to compete at home obviously I’m really in a thick training block at the moment cuz we’re one month to go um to get that Peak but to be able to practice a few things under pressure was a wonderful opportunity to do obviously in front of a home crowd just explain to us what it means to you personally to be you know on the verge of your first ever Olympic Games in in a few weeks in Paris second second Olympics um but uh I guess this one time around Tokyo had no crowd so to have family and friends traveling over um like it’s the journey you’re on with everybody and you know it’s as much off the track and on the track and everyone knows what you put into it and to get to share that moment with them on the biggest sporting stage in the world preparations right on track yeah yeah all all go s thank you [Music] fantastic to hear from Sarah Lavin there as he said a real fan favorite someone who shows up all times and shows out and had a fantastic performance on the new track here to win as she said comprehensively in that women’s HDs against athletes who of a very very similar standard to her so fantastic preparation for her in the middle of a heavy blocket training ready for Paris yeah out front here we hit 2K in about 510 so they R for about 45 but rest assured these men will kick it in hard from here that is Amos langad of Kenya out front the favorite the race favorite the most accomplished athlete in the race is Olen hacker he is on the shoulder of the leader right now remember a 1308 indoors 10th at the US trials recently over 5,000 meters he was fifth at the world indoors in Glasgow earlier this year but look back just behind Olen hacker looming into contention ominously on the outside is darl meleny he was brilliant here to years ago he has a hasn’t been in the best form so far this year but he is rounding back into shape as there Mel heny and he had impressive run over 1500 met at the Nationals recently to win bronze moving up on the outside there that is Ahmed Muhammad also of Northern Arizona University as we see Mel heny just tangle legs there with langat but he stays on his feet Nick rggs Darren mckeny now fading back through the group and Nick rggs still running very strongly he could well have the Irish under 23 record if he runs a strong last lap yeah just a bit of a mix up of leg there unfortunately for Darr molini it seems to have Zapped the energy from him as we come in towards that Bell call and ol hacker is streaking away here the man of Hoka Northern Arizona his Club his training partner back in third place but it’s certainly not all over yet yeah it is hacker he looks to have gone for home with 400 met to run he has turned the screw on this field also coming through there in that blue singet that is Casey Neville bar of the United States of America he has run a very patient race and Nick Riggs is following him in intention but up front it is Olen hacker leads Amos langat and then it is Neville Bard back in third Nick Griggs and then it is Ahmed Muhammad as well back in fifth but he’s gone for Home Allen hacker he ran so bravely he ran just like this at the world indoor championships over 3,000 M putting the field to the sword with about two or three laps to run here he waited until the last lap and Olan hacker is away and gone it is Neville B in second Lang got back in third and look at Nick rigs with a huge finish he might get second but no doubt about the winner all in hacker Majestic 740 on the clock Casey nber takes second he’s about 741 and Nick RS I think may have just broken daram melini’s Irish under 23 record of 7428 6 he’s been breaking him at junior level and now he’s up into the under 23 category and it looks like Griggs has taken another alltime Mark for Ireland yeah fantastic running there from old hacker as you said we’ve seen him do it indoors and he uh showed his class there at the field just held on didn’t let anybody bu and then ripped him apart in that last 100 200 me so fantastic performance 74050 on the clock and I could say safely say that Nick Griggs has taken down that record of M hini who unfortunately got clipped as he said with about 500 M to go and just that really drained the legs from him trailed in there in about 8 minutes but certainly no doubt about the class the front of the field there on that one the man from Hulen nor Arizona col hacker yeah the hair proving no wind resistance whatsoever there on a breezy evening here at MTU Olen hacker again I’d say he had a few issues after his indoor season he didn’t quite reproduce the magic Outdoors the way he was running back in February and March but as you can see he is in fantastic shape 10th recently those us trials over 5,000 m and plenty to look forward to as we see there this is 500 M to run there 6:30 on the clock and this is just when he started applying pressure it was AR Kenyan Amos langat of the asex chjo camp he was up front and then it was the Northern Arizona University teammate Ahmed Muhammad there back in third but you see here I think he moved to the front but he didn’t really kick it in hard and now I think that Bell and the cheer from the crowd just lifted all in hacker and he said see you later guys I’ll cool down with you but I’m not running this last lap anywhere near you goodbye good night good luck yeah you can see G was back in like fifth or sixth there at the B still in fifth here 300 me to go but when he’s on he’s on and that big sprint finish certainly did the business and it is I can confirm an Irish under 23 record Nick Griggs at the age of 19 is the fastest Irish under 23 in history over 3,000 M 74168 for third place a bronze medal and another brilliant Run for the young man from teron see ol hacker there 120 to go and behind him just trading places but no doubt about Champion out front on hacker 7449 on the clock streaking home Casey Neville bir and Nick rggs women’s 800 met are up on track next to Cork City Council 800 M so you just see those top three men waiting for their Podium medals we have got Sam fryberg Jordy Hardin na O’Neal swart mcken Keegan Shannon fard Luis Shannon Lucia pachio few more to come in that one Hannah crave Kimberly finish kendri Coleman pace and Ellie leather there is that confirmation those results of that men’s 3,000 M sponsored by John Buckley Sports here in Cork City hacker case nber and Nick Griggs call I’m going to use my intuition here and say Kendrick Coleman is the pacemaker rather than not being her double bar turn I think I think that is probably a fair bet I’m sure we’ll be seeing lots of these atlet in action at the Morton games as well on Friday evening if you’re anywhere in the Dublin region make sure to get there and we’re a you couldn’t come out tonight I suppose if you’re watching on the live stream although maybe there’s a few people up in those stands tuning into to us J I find it highly unlikely Lee Morgan is on the mcing here in field he’s far better to listen to but they’re running through the opening 200 M there’s our Twitter handles if you care to follow our nonsense but they’re running through the open in 200 M and is Kendra Coleman who is out front towing it along at an Hest Pace about 27.5 or so and then back in second that is McKenna Keegan of the United States she is one of the sub two-minute women in this field Lookout to for Luise Shanahan who is now just looking back tucking back in the middle of the pack there tucked in on the inside in that AIC strip the Irish woman is another woman who has run below 2 minutes um she has not made the Tokyo Olympics or the Paris Olympics this year but she was a Tokyo Olympian but at the moment it is mcken heagan in second then it is number eight that is Kimberly fenek back in third of the C czechia 5908 on the clock there halfway call so it’s going to be swift it’s set up for a sub two-minute clock in bre easy it’s going to be down that back stet they’re going to be running into a headwind we’ve seen up to plus threes in the Sprints but they had dropped recently so Casemaker doing a great job here she’s still holding on she just start to fade and drop out now and it is going to be McKenna Keegan who takes over that lead and on the outside coming through is Hannah SE Seagrave of Great Britain she’s going to come into the lead here with 200 me to go how’s it going to pay out yeah SE grave has command she looks to have timed her effort to Perfection here overtakes Fen there with two 200 to go but Fen looks like she’s got more in that White’s best the check Runner looks like she’s going to come back down this home straet another runner from the back that’s shet swart of South Africa powering down the outside and Luis Shanahan the cork Runner who always has a big kick he’ll be good enough for a second tonight not good enough for first because that goes to czechy as Kimberly fenek 201 1.61 it’s very close for second between Luis Shanahan and Char swart of South Africa they came in a round 202 we just had a bit of a clash at 150 to go there in a fer and that was uh Sam fryberg of the United States unfortunately hit the deck so finishes it out gets her consolations from her her uh racing Partners the day assess the damage on her shins but quite a brilliant performance there out front at 201 61 on the clock just see our Champion by Kimberly Fen McAn going around congratulating everyone making sure she shows her appreciation for her colleagues on the track and she’s on the infield getting a chat with son s none other at the moment as we see the start list for the men’s 800 M BR Weagle Abraham Alvarado arel van deut Thomas Randolph Alex bodro Angus Harrington kilan Kerwin Edmund dupes Archie Davis Josh oy Shane stre Roland cus and fin clear as we see the presentation there to all in hacker of Northern Arizona Elite n Elite I think I said Northern Arizona University during the race um he’s very much not in University anymore he’s graduated from World of NCAA into the pro levels what a job old hacker is doing and that Irish under 23 record there in the Puma orange strip on the right for Nick Greggs 19 years old and a whole lot of Records to his name and one very bright future but brilliant stuff and Brilliant to have Olan hacker putting on a clinic there over that final 450 it’s very much as cool as Flag Staff here in Cork tonight even though we’re at sea level good uh Irish connection for that Arizona Group after got through this results ree adola as we seen the performance 771 and Shane Howard nearly stole it at the death the second last Jumper in the field went out to 770 on his final attempt close to his personal best for 778 and Jason Smith 760 for third as said Olen hacker and uh his teammates there in Arizona being uh treated by physio John Fagan from the time to time former Irish for meter hurler and they looked after in the gym by Daniel Moore based in Dublin Irish man looks after that group the hul group based out there high jump results David couson 211 Conor Penny 2 met and Emanuel osas in third 195 similar to the the result we saw at the Irish national championships here on Sunday a week ago or Saturday a week ago that [Music] was said fantastic jumping from all three there Conor Penney 209 at 15 this year deid Cen the Irish leader 216 at his best look at page one of that start list for the cork County Council 800 meters for men you got bran wigel Netherlands Alvarado of United States vand of Belgium Randol Great Britain boto Great Britain kilan kwin silver at the Irish championships we’ve got Derrik holsworth of the USA Edmund dces of South Africa Josh Hoy the United States Archie Davis Great Britain Shan streak of the USA Gold cus with Pac make and fin mle of Great Britain got a real Stellar lineup here a lot of men who run so 4 145 in particular the British men are 144s but a whole host of 145s and a couple of 146s we’ll hope to break in to that new ground tonight here at the Cork City Sports from MTU University here in cor just been held on their marks Big Field 13 man other double up the weather seems to have cmed a lot you can see in the background are nice and calm clouds are moving at less than a million miles hour as they were people seeing the night but it is winding up here as we said coming to aead field events have all finished up at this stage I think and we are track track track from now on in this man’s 800 met the first of our last seven events on track it is flying by yeah lots to look forward to over the next hour 50 minutes or so that men’s 1500 I know I’ve or that men’s mile I have a middle distance bias of course cuz they’re by far the best events in world atletics as jro Donald bid me knows um but yeah looking forward to K Doyle taking on past two NCAA Champions later on and the brilliant Sam prle as well but the men’s 800 m a slew of 144 145 and 146 men going to the line here it’s been Breezy tonight and there is still a bit of wind in around but it’s not too bad if anything it’s probably just a few degrees too cool certainly see some of the some of the North American and Caribbean athletes are very much um you know wearing the long tights and keeping their extra layers on until the very final moments this evening but we’re under starter’s orders for the men’s 800 M and our pacemaker R tap on the outside yet he’s going to rip this around he’s a 146 man his on right at best he’s under a bit of pressure here to get into the lead from the athletes inside him to take this one through yeah looks like Josh Hoy there I think it is in that Adidas strip it looks to be taking command here at the front and Roland cus is he’s pretty much in an allout spring there to the bend to try and get to the front and I think he’s just about done it but there’s a bit of ricocheting around the pack there and that’s what because they went out very fast in Rolland surus it was way under 25 seconds at 200 M there into the wind as we run now it’s going to be a very quick opening 400 m and then it’s going to be down to who pushes the pace along as the three Adas athletes line up in behind him and Roland Ser says enough of that with 350 run yeah Josh Hoy there takes the lead after surus steps off the track so the man in the full Ed one piece is taking the lead deao pacemaker there through the B didn’t quite catch the clock at 400 m but it is strong out and smooth the first of the Irish is killing Kerman sitting in fifth place there with 300 me to run it’s still Josh Hoy out front there at the man from the USA yeah and he’s joined by Edmund Theus of South Africa and Thomas Randol of Great Britain dies are your top three at the moment and Lookout too for Derek holsworth of USA he’s back in fourth at the moment but it is number 11 Josh Hoy just ahead there of Edmund dupes of South Africa and Thomas Randolph back in third also a big run now from Abraham Alvarado he is swinging wide he could challenge over this last 100 but it is Josh ho he turns for home out front he has a two or three meter advantage over Edmund dupes but dupus is kicking hard down the outside it might be South Africa on top of Ireland once again Edmund dupes kicks the victory takes it ahead of Josh Hoy of USA and then coming through strongly in a fall by the man in white that’s Derek’s Holdsworth of USA I think back in third but no doubt about to winner on Irish soil South Africans are rising to the top once again Edmund dupus a 144 man at his best 145.47 tonight edges Josh Hoy in a Titanic home stretch tussle yeah fantastic performance there really really close battle down to the the final stretch and hit the deck to make sure he got that win he threw the shoulder across the line took out an at lead in the process afterwards but you can see the result coming up on clock on infield it is Edmund dup I thought we were uh completely backwards there the result has been flipped H it is Edmund dupas has that win in 14540 from Josh Hoy 14550 and finy mle 14584 for third place well done to Edmund dupy he had that Adam kot I think started that with the the right arm shoved out by the Finish takes it by 10th of a second ahead of Josh Hoy and finy mcle great run from him back in third dramatic finish as always in those men’s 800 m and certainly not Soul short here for the crowd in Cork today we see the presentation for the men’s shot put getting their medals biggest men in the field here in corp today said all those results are on results. Monster athletics.com if you want to keep an eye or checking on any results of people that you’re tracking the result of that one was jper arbinger 1997 for the win from Victor Peterson from Nick pmer this race one of the men’s 200 meters Sophie Mah Molly Daly an Marie kikas who was on 100 Meers earlier chrisy Christy Edwards Natalie kazis kova and Alana Ryan who also on the 100 meters earlier and

editions but an athlete on new ground now heading to Olympics ladies and [Music] Gentlemen by cityil 800 M atlet been brought in towards the podium for their presentations of course as mentioned earlier Tokyo Olympian sub 2minute athlete had her best previous Irish record holder and there is that result have to settle for second best today M Ken Keegan really classy effort and a brilliant brilliant battle down the Home Street you see thousands of the second it took to separate shanet Stewart from L Shanahan in bronze and silver yeah and I think in a joint second position here I think wow you don’t see that every day lazy official that’s all that is absolutely and third place is sadly empty that’ll make for an unusual photo but anyway it’s great to see Luis Shanahan back running so well I talked to her in Rome at the European Championship she did not have a good run let’s call it SP a spade out there went out in the heat 204 and you know she’s changed up this year she’s coached by Mark Kirk up in Belfast and she just said she’s actually training very well but it just wasn’t coming together whatever it was in the races but in recent weeks it has been starting to come together once again for the classy Luis Janan with a 2011 recently over in Belgium at 202 tonight and contending there with a number of 159 and two flat women she looks to be coming back into form won’t be in Paris this year but there’ll be many more championships ahead for Liles Shanahan yeah see that trade mark finished from her today it’s great to see her back sharp down that finishing straight As she always has when she’s at her best and get that joint silver medal tonight here at cor Sports reminiscent of Podium reminiscent of the African Championship shot put where the only person to show up was the winner in Nigeria and the rest of the lad said ah I’ve had enough going home those are the competitions I dream of J here absolutely most of my gold medals are accounted for by that your gold medals come but noi shows up in the first place for the start Cline that was my point just Hammer at home confirmation Edmund dupi South Africa take takes Victory held his form brilliantly showed all

Ryan in Lane eight and we are cleanly away this time it looks like Cy Edwards Lane might be empty although she is there sorry there’s an empty Lane of lane four but Edwards there in Lane six is flying in the white Fest there for Australia she is the fastest in the field on paper 2317 into the home straight she looks to up a couple of meters of a lead kak kova trying to come back at her Molly daily there on the inside the Uncle Kenny City Harrier having a good run as is Ryan but there’s going to be no doubt about the winner it’s going to be Christy Edwards 2361 on the clock from KES kova of CIA the wind is legal plus 1.7 2361 is what’s shown up for Christy Edwards of Australia takes the Cork Airport 200 met race One race two to come up very very soon it’s corrected to 2360 and in second it was 2395 from kazakova Alana Ryan 244 44 great run there for her and Molly Dy 2453 so not far from her personal best as we will cut down track side to just see the getting there down to tra Louise a storming finish by you there what was it like sumone up for us I mean to be racing here at the Cork City Sports is the dream uh I think I first came to this race when I was 6 months old I was in a carry P at the back of the stands um I’ve been a basket girl at this race I won the junior race when I was a kid I paced the senior race before but I’ve actually never ever raced the senior race co the track everything have got in the way so to make it to the senior race today is a dream to come true and yeah I mean I’d love to win but the next best thing is finishing second so brand new track as well did it how did it race for you yeah to be honest the race was fantastic I think it was funny the entire way around I could just people hear people cheering and not just cheering but cheering for me so yeah it was a support was the entire was incredible the whole way around you made the race feel an awful lot shorter and yeah to come back up this home straight with I mean the pr is so full and yeah it was it was incredible wonderful me well on the way thank you thank you there is the crowd there supporters who are cheering Luis Shanahan and that two lap Tango around the new track at MTU brilliant to see the stands packed to capacity here and a very reasonable ticket price as well €1 15 for adults tenure I think it was for students and oips and under 16s allowed in free brilliant job the host two here at the 70th edition of the Cork City Sports see he all getting his praise from the officials Champion that man’s long job pH corkman abandon Shane Howard taking second and Jason Smith CH Vista California in third place a long way from Chula Vista now not exactly SoCal weather here Jer not quite a bit of drizzle falling but it’s not a bad night In fairness and I think we will undoubtedly see the four-minute barrier smashed might not have as much significance as it once had but it still means a lot to a lot of people who knows how quick they can go certainly under 355 is very likely and they even approach the 350 barrier there is some serious talent in that men’s mile to finish at 9:10 p.m. bit more so cold than SoCal but I making do he made me wait for that one as well I was lining it up there for 30 seconds that’s why you get the big BS absolutely we see the uh women’s 200 met Race 2 getting their box ready we’ll see some serious International atlet in this one as well as top Irish talent in Sophie Becker and Phil Healey you said both medalists at the recent European championships on that women’s 4×4 team and members of the nexted team as well who took gold at the same championships and qualified both teams out in uh Bahamas at the world re is but they’re going to be up against it here tonight likes a toita digs in this one 2245 at her best a sub 52 4 met Runner and 110 100 meter Runner a really really Top Class Talent somebody who would have uh done battle with the likes of rashed AD through the NCAA system in the United States over the last number of years as well so real world class athlete was competing got a gold medal for herself 2 years ago at the age of 19 it’s part of the women’s 4×4 as we pan back down to Trevor with the long jump Champion ree atola ree to come out on top in front of your home crowd here tonight is extra special isn’t it yeah it’s great I mean like the crowd is behind every single jump um no it’s just a special moment again cor City Sports is always going to have a place in my hair I’m always going to jump here it’s just it’s great it’s unbelievable getting closer and closer to the dream improving all the time that’s the I supp the key is it that’s the goal yeah it’s been slow it’s been slow since indoors but um yeah know I’m happy to finish off my season here at cork SE Sports um yeah know delighted some up beer for us for you uh so the indoors um I jumped to 786 in my first round out in Denmark and then in the Nashville 782 and then 793 out in austral so I’m pretty happy with a 771 uh to end off the season again um yeah look delighted well done tonight thank you well done [Music] yeah great to hear from Reese there local man as he said it’s uh always a pleasure to jump here in his home county it’s home neat as we see that lineup for that women’s 200 met race two coming right up Renee reges we’ve seen got third in that women’s 100 met earlier Shane veran in the lane Outsider Phil Healey the former Irish 100 meter and 200 meter National Champion or national record holder rather and Champion Tory Lewis the Australian talent teenager she’s going to be one to contend with here as well she’s off to the Olympics on that team two Sophie Becker the 400 meter specialist T digs who is an allrounder and has gone fast over all distances in The Spence one two and four and Lauren rain James on the outside also a fantastic 200 met at 2251 at her best so those athletes especially out in Lane seven and eight are going to be real real contenders as well as Tory Lewis in Lane five what can the Irish girls do to stick with them there are the results of race one as you said Christy Edwards 2360 a comprehensive win there from Natalie Kus kova 2395 and atanta Ryan best of the Irish there 2344 Molly D 16y old there 2453 and young Sophie Mah of le la here in Cork in fifth so the wom’s race two of the 200 m are just waiting behind their blocks for starers orders as we said Irish interest in this one in Lanes four and six with our 200 400 Specialists of Phil Healey and Sophie Becker and here we have a good shot across the field so we’re starting from Lane three the no signer Renee Regis there she’s obviously happy enough with her day’s work after that 200 M or 100 m third place earlier this evening so from the inside we’ll be starting with chain muan Phil Healey Tory Lewis the Australian Sophie Becker in Lane six toita Diggs in seven and Lauren R James in Lane eight Becker will get out fast as will Phil Healey but the girls outside them are real little Sprint specialist here over the short distances so how is this one going to pan out weather is looking a little bit calmer now the the trees are dying down it is cold but what can these athletes produce here on this newly laid track MTU core campus and we are cleanly away and digs on the outside there in Lane seven is way to an absolute flyer can Becker stick with her Tory Lewis in the orange in the middle going very very well around the bend and Phil Healey bit of work to do in lane four but is holding on strong to these atlet and Lewis in the middle a is looking very good complet to home straight As is toita digs there out in Lane seven and on the inside ver m going very very well Phil he come through strong as his Becker but it’s going to be very very close on the line here Tori Lewis from toita digs 233 a bit of a clash there for Phil Healey from her Lan mate for muan beside her but brilliant running there 2303 we just see what the win pops up as Tory Lewis the young Australian teenager takes the win takes some good scalps and it is 231 on the clock from Diggs 2309 so that is a really really big scout from her Tory Lewis but she been doing that all year jar beat you K Richardson at the jaman diamond League earlier this year in April did 19-year-old Azie what a performance she was under 23 seconds there just outside of tonight but she’ll be running at the world under 20 championships in Lima and I was talking to her just after she beat shary Richardson and I was like can you is this a bit surreal and she went yeah as soon as I crossed the line I was like what the and then she said what the hell um she was in disbelief that night but tonight I think americanist tonight I think the disbelief has worn off and Tory Lewis is getting very used to competing at this level the Aussies are very excited about her prospects with Brisbane 2032 on the agenda that Olympics in 8 years time she’ll be 27 then so much to look forward to for her taking scalps all around and Shane ver a great R there 2331 very very close behind in from third right down to sixth with Lauren rain Williams 2333 34 from Phil hey and Sophie Becker with a a nice big half second PB of 2351 Phil be happy enough to be the first Irish woman across the line as well as always that’ll be a we need to wait and see what the wind reading was the cage hasn’t popped up on the clock just yet see was that one legal CU if it is it’ll be a nice season’s best for Phil Healey um but brilliant racing all around very very exciting great run into the home straight from Tory Lewis and Hof T the digs you see those men’s 3,000 me at or AG at least rather get their results I can hear pH Healey confirming it’s The Season’s best on the infield there as we just see the photo finish really really tight one there from that is Helen uh Lauren rain James oh that’s no that’s the 800 me that’s Shanah that was the photo finish for a second and you can see there Luis Shanahan’s torso on that atic strip closest to the camera I think just getting that but uh a fun one for the judges to pour over there to try and sort them out of course it’s not a first point in your body it’s the first point on your torso that crosses the line whether that’s your chest or your shoulders confirmation of that result in the women’s 200 me T Lewis of Australia taking victory in 2301 Tia digs in second 2309 and Chand ver muan in third 2331 and a strong run on the second race of the evening for Phil Healey perfect way to send her off to the Paris Olympics where she’ll be part of the squads for the women’s 4×4 and inde the mixed 4×4 yeah 1.3 m/ second win there for that one so that’s a really good performance from Phil hey there for season’s best he’s happy out with that one and we’re going to pop down track side once again to Trevor well Sophie uh tough competition here in cour tonight what was it like for you um I’ve never done well I haven’t done it to in like six years so it was different I didn’t really know how to run it but I thought I’d have no lactic or anything rude of me to think that I’m like still a bit gassed after it but no I’m happy for that it’s my first two in a long time a good marker do I think I can go faster in better conditions yes but uh no I’ll I’ll take that I’m happy with it track as well lat her in the MTU what was the light on Lovely it’s a fast track definitely I think my body’s just not not ready for it at all but no it’s great facilities here all the preparation’s going on Paris in a few weeks time all the excitement is building yeah hopefully um uh training is going well I didn’t really have a big Bock of training since like April so it’s really good now um I have a few weeks of a lot of work to do um because May and June I was racing a lot chasing the standards so I know it’s nice have Team weight Mr PR six Irish Olympians running tonight three of them from Cork locally here but just what does it mean to you personally to be uh representing Ireland in Paris like it’s the Pinnacle of our sport um the highest competition there is and the highest um level like uh representing country like there’s nothing better than that and the support the community feel over the last few weeks um after Rome and everything it’s just been next to nothing so um it’s great that we can do country crowd in um pars well just the last one Sophie the relay team being terrific how much more do you think you need to improve in the Olympics now they they bar would be raised of course uh in Paris but how much can this team improve to think like that time that won the silver medal is world class I’m pretty sure it would have meddled at um previous worlds and Olympics um saying that it’s the Olympics as you said everyone’s going to bring that was our aame we have an A+ game you know everyone’s going to bring it to Paris uh including us so it’s exciting the team that we have is it’s such a great team to be a part of and I think um it’s a very exciting feel to head for us yeah tonight good to see in cour off well [Music] done Sophie Becker looking forward to individual and team participation at the Paris Olympics first time ever as an individual she just got in on the rankings there it was a nervous week but she’s in the 400 meters and she’ll also be part of the relay squads brilliant to see the Wexford woman and they’ll be dancing at the crossroads during the Paris Olympics as she goes up against the world’s best and you’re as her coach joint coach I’m sure you can tell her this a bit about her preparations I can tell her how forgetful she is anyway saying she hasn’t raised a 206 years when she ran one last summer but that’s what you get when uh when races don’t go well the memory is shortlived U but she ran a similar time with a plus four or five wind in Sentry this time last year so to do it with a legal win this time around is is much better performance there you go J call call out her excuses absolutely back into she said a big block of training there to try and catch up when you’re chasing races all summer hard to get the actual work done so like Sarah lav and I’m sure like Phil heale is as well they’re all into real prep mode heavy training to get uh get ready for those Paris Olympics cuz they are still a couple of weeks away it’s still time to get some work done and to sharpen the X then 10 days out or so and get ready to drop some fast times in relays and individuals absolutely as we see there a yawn on the left ttha digs is bored of all this she’s like I only get excited for gold medals silver means nothing to me as a former NCAA and US champion and she’s got some serious pedigree in the family as well mother Joetta Clark an outstanding Runner three time four time Olympian she was and her grandfather was Joel Lewis clerk famous high school principal depicted in the movie Lean on Me oh there you are now that’s info come for the atletics stay for the Hollywood information courtesy of David K thank you David we are in the presence of absolute royalty here um but as you said Dig’s just outside the US team this year unfortunately but has World medals in her back pocket World gold medals in her back pocket from Oregon previously reallyy world class atori Tory Lewis put it up to her there she will be off to Paris to show her talent in the 200 and the rouer 4 One joined by her teammate Christy Edwards who won that women’s race one of the 200 M and let’s see what the men can do up next they’ll be happy to see those legal wind times for sure in those previous uh women’s races so things have CM down from those plus threes that we seen previously um course down to Legal wins still a bit chilly buters be ready to show out and perform see the time table there so we’re just down to the two men’s 200 met races followed by that Cork City Council M finishing off here the M always full of drama here in Cork walk time produce as K said K do in there he will be off to Paris in the 1500 M but he’s got his work cut out for him here this evening against a host of international talent that is men’s race one of the 200 meters lined up so we have a extra athlete in Lane one who I just can’t figure out at the minute in Le El singet but we don’t have on our start list Adam Murphy is in there to there the Tin royland Man Carlo he was in the final of the uh national championships last year it is Jack mcra of course in one fantastic Sprinter and hurdler in his own right out to Lane three then Andrew Egan a medalist at the Irish championships last year Joe Ferguson goes in lane four Mark Smith the Irish National Champion goes in Lane five National Record holder indoors got 2064 indoors is really super running his fastest overall so he needs to try and break that out or how fast can he go here tonight in Cork he has got Oscars graa outside him the man who took third in that race one of the 100 meters earlier today the laan Champion over the one and the 200 M Rob MacDonald a real real special talent battling injuries over the last couple of years what can he do here today got a silver they just called off the Amer there once again got a silver at the national championships last week with a really strong second 100 meters looked a little bit conservative on the band so will he be a bit more aggressive here tonight and see what he can do open up those legs and Teddy Wilson will go out in Lane eight for Great Britain wi up champion so Ferguson has gone to 20.2 in uh a couple years ago back in 2022 M from Great Britain so if you can get back into that sort of form here he’s going to give the lads a really really good r on form I think season’s best it is Mark Smith in the Middle Lane five of Ireland the national champion called back to their marks Jack mcra Adam Murphy Andrew Ean Joe Ferguson Mark Smith Oscars gra Rob McDonald and Teddy Wilson nice and count 1 m per seconds showing on the infield wind gauge on our marks race one sport Island 200 M and we are cleanly way in a nice start there from Mark Smith and out inside him gra is going very well as well and he it is the laan man who has a nice bit of a lead here coming into the bound out on the outside there as well Teddy Wilson having a good run but it looks like as as the bend on winds Mark Smith is clear by a meter or two inside him there is Joe Ferguson having a good run as well and Mark Smith is going to hold out the line look tiing up a little bit 20.6 to it’s a personal best Joe Ferguson really really put it up him towards the end there you can see SMI just tying up a little bit little bit of a Grimace on his face as he crossed the line hopefully that was just out of frustration than anything else but he looks healthy he’s annoyed that he hasn’t gone under that 20.6 it’s 1.5 win so it is legal 2060 not quite uh into the 20.5 as he would maybe have wanted to do but brilliant brilliant run Joe Ferguson takes second 20.6 s 2.89 for Oscars graa there in third that’s a really good run from him as well man who got to up as first 13th at the wrong European championships couple of weeks ago Rob McDonald 210 run into a bit of form again Teddy Wilson 2101 one Andrew e 2128 and Adam Murphy with a season’s best rather a season’s best since his injury in the middle of the summer with 2186 Jack mcgr 2216 from a tight Lane one very good run Max Smith just prows back up and we see the replay here outside him there Oscar grael had a great start in Ferguson as well it was really really level Egan out very very well Adam Ry a little bit of work to do but in lane two The Tall Man had it had a unfavorable Lane on the outside there Teddy going very very well in the N strip Rob McDonald left it late again as we seen at the national championships we just see here with 10 m to go Mark SMI just looked like he was under a bit of pressure with graa and Joe Ferguson either side of him smelling the blood and coming hunting Joe Ferguson coming home like a train but little bit too late and Marx made the clear cou heads of winner there of race one of this man’s 200 met you can see gra there just going by Rob McDonald Mark Smith up running and Tall Joe Ferguson with a lot of work to do there just a little bit conservative on the band but when he came into the homest St he started working nice and hard and Mar Smith there in the arena white of rahini Shamrock just a little grimus there 5 MERS out rahini Shamrock who will have three athletes going to the Olympic Games uh including Sophie Becker who saw on that previous race for the women and there is confirmation of that result of the sport IR race one for the men’s 200 meters Irish Champion Mark Smith takes that one from Joe Ferguson with a great run at 2067 say 20.28 at his best a couple years ago Oscar’s grab at 20.8 n couple of places ahead of mar Smith overall in Rome so that’s a nice scal to take and Rob McDonald edging back down towards those 20 point Mar he is 20.5 at his best couple of years ago so staying healthy and he’ll be back there very very soon no doubt so that was race One race two will be up very very shortly when you see a race and effective as you say called previously you know the race ones are the B races but 2.6 for first and second in a b race what are we going to see in the a race hopefully uh these Lads can see what has gone before them they’ll have a look at that wind gauge and see a plus 1.5 and say okay it’s time to let rip here and really tear up this track yeah it be really interesting to see what they can produce all surprised to see Phil Healey is in high demand there in field lots of journalists looking to talk for gra there a few words she is a very popular lady not just in Irish atletics but especially in these parts only from 30 or 40 minutes out to ro just outside bendon and she’ll be heading to her second Olympics in a few weeks time as Trevor said earlier six six Irish Olympians competing in Paris are here tonight and it’s brilliant to see such a good crowd no doubt off the back of that hugely successful record-breaking European championship chips for Ireland you can see it there barely a seat to be had in that grand stand a brilliant evening put on and well done to all the organizers on this 70th Edition such a historic meeting the Cork City Sports and the organizers so many people who live breathe and bleed Athletics just keeping this show on the road every year and long made it run so just two races coming up it’s going to be the men’s 200 M we’re near minutes away from that and then we’re going to be wrapping up at 10 minutes past 9 with a brilliant men’s mile featuring the likes of Joe wasam Nathan green to NCAA Champion Sam prle of the United States so much talent in there Sam prle is a 350 Miler indoors Luke Hower as well of course there’s a full start list there is a lot of talent in that field I can assure you just to start off up the top there mad Abdu kader is a 335 1500 meter Runner he’ll certainly be in contention tonight but there’s a lot of talent in there abti caderas yeah European under 23 silver medalist six-time National Champion as well runs for Italy now and just looking down the field Callum Davies is over he’s no stranger to these Irish meetings the young Australian well he’s not that young I think he’s 25 Now Sports scientist in exercise science had a great chat with him at one of the meetings earlier this year know the ins and outs of training inside out and every trick in the book that at least used to train and recover and just looking down the field Charlie odonovan there number four he’ll be in the LL colors the Villanova student Sam prel as well as I mentioned 350 indoor mile he is very hard to beat in races like this he was a bronze medalist on the in the mile at the world Road running championships and look out for those two men down the bottom Joe wasam he is the 2020 and 2024 NCAA 1500 meter champion and then splitting them the difference in the middle and 2023 was his teammate up at the University of Washington in Seattle Nathan green who I would say is starting favorite for that men’s mile despite how kah Doyle is running despite the 334 and that slew of wins the big kick he has I think Nathan green with a 332 PB recently in the final of the US trials to finish fifth in what was such a loaded race over there Nathan green is going to be very hard to beat I think in the concluding Cork City Council men’s mile at 10 N9 great to see so many kids there they’re having a time of their lives anyway yeah we’ve got fans all spread around the track here as well cuz luckily we haven’t had any rain so people don’t have to shelter in that stand but as I said there’s not much room for anybody in there anyway so luckily you’ve got the the grass DED around with people all around yeah some Brilliant Highlights already this evening as we have we have just a moment to reflect before this men’s 200 M I’d have to say Sarah Lavin’s win from the Sprint hurdles that was very good such a confidence booster she always gets it done she never runs a bad race Sarah lav I know she said in that interview David gillick and RTE in Rome that she bottled it at the European championships but it was anything but a bottle if anything she was just running too fast into that second hurdle and got too close to it and hit it with the leg but there is a big big run coming from Sarah Lavin at some point this year I think we it’s good time to just reflect back on that win you can see Sarah Lavin if she has one part of her race that herself and Coach Noel Marcy are always on about it’s the start it’s that first two hurdles but she got it tonight here yeah absolutely Morrison just had the jump on there to hurdle one but as we said La so so strong in that second half of the race you just see that head-on view again Morrison to the left of her on this screen and I think she just Rises first but if Lan gets a decent start then she’s going to run well always so it was um a brilliant pretty performance and really for you to come through and get the win here in Cork yeah good stuff here we are faces for radio anyway screen cracking all over the country J is too excited he refuses to sit down he’s been on his feet for the last four hours ever since that primary schools getting my steps in here yeah but we’re very much looking forward to the two races left to go one very fast 200 absolutely they are in their blocks here on their marks for the sport Ireland race two of the 200 meters we’ve got Matt Sena in lane two we are absent of our winner of the 100 meters earlier Colin does replaced him the local man Brian F the national indoor champion of the of the USA over 400 meters this here Jerel queno of Great Britain goes outside him and we are weighing clean and queno gets out well but Ian Kerr who was second place here last time around has a bit of work to do and we have got a pull up there CA d one of the favorites in this one has pulled out and is Ian cerr who’s going very very well there in the ad strip coming down into the Home St bit of work being done by Brian F here he’s coming through very very well but it is going to be Ian cerr holds on clock has not stopped and shown up it is an illegal wind regardless but Ian Cur second here last time around two years ago takes the win here tonight he was well up there in that 100 met earlier on today as well of course but 20.33% but brilliant brilliant run for me and ker there unfortunately CA Dan our champion here in 2022 pulled up on the bend hoping nothing too serious for him but brilliant brilliant running from ianr No Doubt well clear and takes the win brilliant racing there so 20. 33 unfortunately that win just over the league of limit Brian F brilliant running behind we’re just trying to see those results if they pop up on the infield screen but really really tight for second place we make get a look at it on the replay F there in the yellow and black in lane four as I said just got left in the box there a little bit from queno the man from great Bron Ian Cur was out very well and Dem there in the orange The Tall Man just pulls up there on the outside calb law with a good run from Australia he will be going to the Olympics in that 4 by1 Rel man who’s picked up bronze at the world under 20 championships in the past Ian Kerr running away with this one though look daylight well clear I think might have got through there in Lane eight to get that second spot from Brian F the 400 met man has a best to 20.54% [Music] official and men’s MERS are just out proudly on the track here getting their last bits of strides in as we see the lineup on the screen second page we du to Du to go off in about 10 minutes for that mile nor field of action to bring you in the meantime unfortunately there we see Joe wa wasam rather of the USA and Nathan green who K has picked out it as his favorite for this one and an absolute certainty Jer I I I can’t see pass Sam prle you said he’s hard to beat in uh or he’s been hard to beat indoors he’s hard to beat in Ireland s prle he’s taken home the the cup at the Morton games he’s taken the title here Cork City Sports in the pass in the Miler he certainly been right up there so is uh it’s going to be all to play for here very very shortly in that man’s mile Kor the fastest of the Irish certainly over 1500 me in this field off to the Paris Olympics he be running in his T of Harrier Club singlet what can he do how fast can he go how far up the field can he go can he stay on his feet that’s K doy’s biggest challenge in a lot of races comes away in a sling a lot of the times but certainly no doubt his legs move fast even if his arms can’t hold him up yeah this is going to be a really intriguing concluding men smile here absolutely no one walking away this evening there is so much talent loaded through this field Jo wasam Nathan green S breel Pierce Copeland as well as in there he’s an accomplished British atlete European under 23 silver medalist back in 2019 but hasn’t had his best season this year Henry mccluck as well 22-year-old Britain another Rising stare 337 for 1500 this year European under 20 bronze medalist but yeah K Doyle I think will be the leading Irish man in the form he’s in anyway kah Doyle you’d have to expect him won his third National 1500 met title recently it was such an impressive performance by kahal Doyle kicking past Luke mcen for victory there he is in the form of his life and he didn’t just get a place at the Paris Olympics he earned a place did kahal doy the 26-year-old clan lifman and of course we remember him kicking to Victory here two years ago and he the performance darus s prel just going through your shot number 19 there’s the man I’ve said is 100% certainly going to win this race I that is Nathan Green in the idas strip if anything is predictable it’s the M it’s the most predictable race there is that’s Joe wasam just beside him there as well in the other edit strip yeah we’ve seen some highlights already this evening and we’ve seen some unbelievable performances but can this smile steal the show SE a fantastic under 23 Irish record for Nick Griggs 741 on the clock breaking d m’s record from not very long ago the young cork man but Griggs came in and stole the show got up into the top three in that [Music] one home favorite win the men’s L up that’s 771 re adola from his countyman 770 and second Shane Howard been all action all evening 1500 me split here as well K in this one will any of them be going for that I don’t think so I think in these conditions it probably be unwise and there’s not much as supposed to qualify for at the moment with that Paris window close but on the right ear shot there keep an eye on that you won’t certainly won’t miss him in that fluorescent Brooks strip that is Luke Hower who of course took Victory just last weekend at the craw park mile to commemorate the centenery of the 1924 Paris Olympics where Ireland first competed as an independent nation yeah real uh a unique event for People of Our Generation it’s uh certainly not something we’ve seen in recent history is people of atletics Heritage in on the hollowed grounds of the J HQ there in qu Park fantastic to see number of Dublin Track Club athletes in there as well Shane Bracken and Shan tolin making up the top three one nasio Peno we’ve seen him pacing Pac making here earlier this evening he was in that one doing the same job few Armstrong in there also for the Irish but it was title for the USA this time around so they’re just prowling up the straight there the basket carriers waiting patiently shorts and t-shirts all around in 12 13° that’s the difference between Irish summer and Irish winter Irish winter is 13° and people wear the appropriate clothing in summer they wear shorts and t-shirt in 13° ladies and gentlemen our next presentation presentation for 200 me man is just about to take place underway as well athletes help themselves back among their feet Cal La suffering the effects of that one he took the second Spot the Australian just on the line from Lane eight just get a confirmation of those results we have a look but as I said earlier results.on athletics.com that’s M NST or athletics.com is where you’ll find results from this evening’s action Ian cerr he was actually quicker than his PB but was an illegal win unfortunately and it is an overall time for presentations tonight so Mark Smith with that legal 20 point 6-0 PB earlier gets himself onto the podium gets a bronze medal and gets an envelope I’m sure at the end of the day as well which is great for him Cal did in fact take second with 20.53% was the win for that race one and Ian cerr man who’s been back here many times before in the past and never leaves the podium 20. 31 for the win win in this one so Brian fa ends up in fourth with 2061 just 100th outside that top three so brilliant running there from uh all three Lads across the two races and good to see dorini shok Mark Smith in third national champion and the national indoor record holder chipping away at that outdoor PB may be hoping for more Fast Times this summer to round off his season and get himself in good position for next Summer’s activities yeah there are two of the favorites in the center your shot there the two University of Washington Huskies Joe waskin and Nathan green and we’re going to rip across the start line here and we’ll be there is Luke Hower in that orange strip and there on the inside is s prle look out for him as well 350 indoor Myer this is going to be a very close one I suspect a number of men will turn for home together here in this concluding Cork City Council men’s mile there is so much talent in here a lot of people will be looking towards those three University of Washington Huskies in Nathan green Joe wasam and Luke Hower under the guidance of Coach Andy Powell doing such a good job there alongside MAA his wife who’s overseas the women’s team up there in Seattle we’re used to seeing him in that purple strip of the University of Washington waston they’re all in the professional Brands tonight from Adas to Brooks and away they go s prel out to a good start on the inside and they’ll just be slotting in the pacemaker of the kander track club looks like K O’Reilly is going to be doing that job on the outside slotting up there towards the the lead conell Kirk I think that is that is the pacemaker um in his own right as City he just a little bit of a lead at the minute needs to relax down that back strap but the athletes of the field coming back up towards him it is Con Kirk CER Track Club Picks Them Up through 200 in you know around 27 seconds 28 seconds so setting the pace nicely here for the lads out back and it is stretched out already the wind is just picking up a little bit it’s getting a little bit Breezy it’ll be on their backs as they committ to home straight but it is off at a good pace so far call yeah and it looks like Joe wasam there who’s just slotted into second at the moment he is in pole position and eventually the pacemaker is going to step aside and someone’s going to have to be brave and keep this pace honest if they want and right now Joel wasam the 2022 and 2024 NCAA outdoor Champion is in firm command of the pack out in behind the pacemaker as they move through they’re well under 60 seconds at 400 it is a healthy Pace but it’s a sensible Pace in what is a windy cool night here at the Cork City Sports and it looks like wasam now is really pulling clear of this field someone’s going to have to wake up and make a move in that pack because this an athlete that you really cannot let go wasam is just too good like I said two time NCAA Champion seventh in the US Olympic trials 1500 meter final and sensibly there kahal Doyle just recognizing the danger in the pack recognizes that Joe wasam is not an that LE you can let go and out he comes to the pack and starts to run after the University of Washington star of the NCAA yeah K do being the man to to close that Gap and it is the the Spaniard an as lagy shaer who slots in behind him I thought he was going to go and darl just said you know what if you’re not going to do it I’m going to do it he’s right back up there behind wascom and the pacemaker conell Kirk so 158 there through two and a bit laps and it is Doyle sling in there in second place effectively from wasam they still got a little bit of a gap on the field there’s some moves being made there behind them and it’s now starting to spread out even more it is Nathan green the preious favorite according to K my co- commentator here is he going to be proved right rarely is sometimes often but here we go the there’s moves going on call everything is changing Pace behind the cream is starting to rise to the top and by the cream I mean those three University of Washington Huskies there right now K Doyle is in a husky sandwich there at the front because it’s one two and three the University of Washington men they are Joe wasam Luke Hower and Nathan green and right now Joe wasam is leading it out but Hower who had that epic win in cow Park last week clocking a 410 mile on the turf in the historic cow park in front of 82,000 people it’s a smaller crowd here tonight but can he do similar here he is on the shoulder as he’s so often been of his training partner up at the University of Washington Luke Hower tracking Joe wasam as we see a bit of a clash of legs there Callum Davies is also in there kah doy is poised to strike but can he produce what he needs that magic kick and Henry mlui as well as in there from Great Britain he can contend yeah 258 there at the Bell so a 60c left would be pesan for these men to go sub four and there is K doy starting to make a move now at about 220 to go he goes into fourth into third it’s a big rip of a finish here it looks like Luke Hower is being run out of it he’s dropping back do is moved up into third Co what’s going to take to win this one yeah Joe wasam has it he is fully all out here around the bend and Sam PR is in second K Doyle in third these three have got the field it is Joe osam hanging on out front now it is Nathan green out front it is indeed Nathan green who is pulling clear here Nathan green too good fifth recently at the US Olympic trials the big kick from the University of Washington Husky too strong for the athletes around him kle Doyle speed was no match for Nathan green played a patient game but Delta his cares at the perfect time he comes home in front of Doyle and Sam prel 353 66 unofficially on the clock in the infield K proved right as always is he’ll never let me live that one down K do coming through for around a 354 there that’ll be a big PB for him in the mile three 53 67 I think is the official time on the infield clock now but fantastic run there from Nathan green as he said the pre-race was the going to be the man to beat he showed his class yeah we can see they’re they look in that same strip they’re about the same height in build which is why I just confused them for a second around that final Bend but it was wasam in front at this point and then it was Henry mlui of Britain they’re all in that same Adas strip you can see there wasam his tank had run dry there with 200 M to go and it was Nathan green had the green light with 200 under to go hits the front and that was Sam prel who moved up into second there at that point he had done everything he could to go with this man Nathan green but very few men in World Ming at the moment can go with him as I said fifth at those us trials he was actually only 10th in the NCAA Final but that was very much an offc color performance very different to his usual standard and as you see Nathan green K Doyle there just about in second he is a big kicker but his kick was no match for the brilliant Nathan green yeah 354 48 for Doyle and 58 in third for prel so really really close down to 5580 for Joe wascom Henry mccluck Henry mccluck there in fifth and we can see right down to 11th 12th Place is 359 46 so brilliant brilliant running all around here 12 men sub four know it’s 11 men sub 359 and 35367 for the winner no doubt about it na green away and clear yeah Nathan green as I mentioned he was the NCAA outdoor champ last year at 332 PB recently he was fifth at the world under 20s back in 2022 which is a tough thing to do and he is only 21 years old so a bright future ahead have a feeling that a lot of people tonight will say they were privileged to see Nathan green winning an epic men’s mile to wrap up the 70th edition of the Cork City Sports but for me kahal Deni and from jedo Donnell it’s been a pleasure to be your commentator from the evening and from us it’s goodbye for now good night [Music] [Music] [Music] in [Music] you [Music] [Music] he
