Ireland break national record in Track event

The Irish women’s team were narrowly beaten by Australia in the first round of the four- kilometre Team Pursuit at the World Track Championships in Berlin. Despite the loss the team will take heart from the ride which saw them break a new national record.
In qualifying on Wednesday the team set the new record as the quartet of Mia Griffin, Kelly Murphy, Alice Sharpe, and Lara Gillespie broke the previous record set in Minsk in 2019 by four seconds with a time of 4:21.37.
