Track stars to give Dublin Olympic flavour

A taste of the Olympics comes to Dublin tomorrow night (7.15pm) as a host of star names compete in the Morton Games before going for gold in London.

Americans Matthew Centrowitz (1500m), Emma Coburn and Shalaya Kipp (both mile) will be joined in Santry by another dozen athletes — part of a 60 strong international contingent — dreaming of Olympic glory across the channel over the next three weeks.

The Morton Mile will again provide the focal point of a special evening, with Cork’s Ciarán Ó Lionaird attempting to hold off a strong field that includes another 11 sub four-minute men.
