@MickTynan @mcwexford @Jeremy_P_Lyons @dublin_sprint @galvinsports @GalvinSinead They were great times!

@mcwexford @Jeremy_P_Lyons @dublin_sprint @galvinsports @GalvinSinead Totally agree!!! 400m running in Ireland is where it is today because of the work both you and @Jeremy_P_Lyons did back in the days of Ton La Gaoithe. The coaching network that ye created was inspirational 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Tough to summarise what @Jeremy_P_Lyons has done for coaching in 🇮🇪 as he announces his exit from the snr coaching end. Thankfully his legacy will live on via @dublin_sprint, a disrupter who created positive change and one of the key pillars behind the recent 400m revolution 🫡

@mcwexford @Jeremy_P_Lyons @dublin_sprint @galvinsports @GalvinSinead Really sad seeing this - Giant of a man for what has done for Irish coaching. Few times throughout my coaching journey I reached out for help and Jeremy was very kind with his time and knowledge and I’ll never forget that.

@egansadventures I think you only need a B standard if getting a reallocated place - if you’re in initial road to ranking spots you don’t need B standard which is a welcome change.

We're how many years into this now? Quota spots are allocated on Road to... rankings, not World rankings! Yes, World rankings play a big part in the Road to... rankings, but they are not the same thing.

@boriakinola01 @MarkSmythy AAI policy, you have to hit a B standard to be selected or if was part of relay going. World ranking has its issues, that guy below has run 20.4, but below him again is a 20.0 athlete (from US) and below that again is a 20.2 athlete who obv didn’t know how to navigate points.

They knew 😉 #Espoo2023

@Andru1993 That is bloody awesome - really need more of this going forward - hard being a sprinter in Ireland running into -2+ winds

Hmm I wonder what the Second lines are for here in Morton, Little Hint for the AAI Games :)

@leonr200m I think most people don't understand how good that is. 20.77 is as good as 6.57 60m about 1 point in ranking difference (for a guideline at least), it's a better standard all the other sprint finals which were amazing. Some depth in Irish male sprinting right now 60m-400m

Dunno why no one’s talking about mark over 200 indoors. 20.7 indoors is mental fast😅😂

Tune in folks!

@Athletics_MTU @MTUCork_Sports @irishathletics @MTU_ie Great coach and athlete!

I was just in awe of this, very emotional yet very positive - just all round amazing - take a bow Midas Productions on a just amazing documentary

Not to be missed!

Congrats to Jack Raftery on new record. Great run from Andrew Egan in second 34.51

@Cliffjennings48 @dublin_sprint @raftery_jack Not Robert but one of Robert’s training partners Andrew Egan - 34.51 and believe 3rd was pretty close to that. Great run by Jack esp considering how big he is for indoors

Closing stages of @raftery_jack and his 33.27 300m tonight in Athlone. First Irish man to run 33 seconds indoors.

🌟University Athlete of the Year - Robert McDonnell🌟 Olympian Robert McDonnell (GCH) broke the National U23 200m Record with a time of 20.51 while competing in Belgium back in May, a record which had stood since June 2012 👏 Proudly Supported by 123.ie ✨

@petermannion @lostinskylines @ProfJaneWalsh @StreetsofGalway Can’t say I’ve ever heard of them doing one. Might be worth contacting Athletics Ireland & Paralympics Ireland - they have a contact section on website.

@lostinskylines @ProfJaneWalsh @GalwayTrackTeam @StreetsofGalway do GCH do this? ⤴️

Anyone know if there's some kind of course / training to become a running guide for people who are blind/vision impaired in ROI (ideally Galway tbh)? Imagine one of the athletic clubs might have something? Everything I'm finding in my quick searches are NI/UK. Thanks in advance!

@BrianGregan89 @Euro_Champs Bring it in for sprints at Irish Nationals esp as you have open entry. That being said, I wonder how much of a difference it would even make, generally the athletes who perform best in final are the ones who don't have to run as close to pbs to qualify and conserve energy,ietop12

Thoughts on the byes into the semi finals for the top 12 @Euro_Champs ? I am against it. 400m athletes have an extra round and have less than 18 hours recovery compared to the top 12. Major champs should be about who can produce through the rounds.

Nice to see Andrew Egan official sub 22 for the first time with 21.78 in Birmingham - lots more to come.
