Thomas Barr turned 30 late last month. It’s six years since he ran that PB of 47.97 to finish fourth in the 400m hurdles at the Rio Olympics. Four years have passed since he claimed a superb bronze at the European Championships in Glasgow.

Skim over his experiences at the Worlds in Oregon earlier this summer and you could be forgiven for asking if the Waterford man can reach the dizzying heights of old again. Starting with his latest tilt at a European medal, in Munich next week.
