McDonagh to work with Jamaican sprinters

Former Ireland international long jumper Ciarán McDonagh will fly to Birmingham this morning to assist the Jamaican Olympic sprinters’ preparations for the London Games.

McDonagh, the Irish record-holder, is now a practising physical therapist based in Lucan, Co Dublin.

He first worked with the Jamaica squad back in June, when Asafa Powell suffered groin trouble at the Diamond League meeting in Rome.
