A tremendous year for Ireland, says team manager

GILLIAN O’SULLIVAN’S silver medal in the 20k walk at the world championships in Paris and Paul Hession’s silver medal in the sprints at the World Student Games in Korea over the past week means Ireland has claimed a medal from all the track and field championships this year.

"It has been a tremendous year for Irish athletics and for Gillian O'Sullivan, in particular," Michael Quinlan who is the Team Manager for next year's Olympic Games, insisted.

"The fact that the medals have been spread across all of the track disciplines makes it even more exciting."
