She seems to have great potential. We actually seem to have a decent crop of athletes coming through for the first time a good while - Jumbo-Gula, O'Sullivan and Akpe-Moses are all top notch prospects.

Sarah Healy breaking records galore too.

2nd fastest 1500m runner for her age.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Completely forgot about her! Tokyo might come a little early for some of them but on their current trajectory we could have a really strong track and field team for Paris in 2024.

Can't see that happening.

I'd be surprised to see Ireland win an Olympic track medal in my life time.

Kate O'Connor is another great prospect in the heptathlon too.

Another one yeah.

Barr came close with his 4th spot but didn't take the opportunity and don't he will come as close again.

He's not even ranked in the top 100 this year.
