Disappointing end for relay team in European final

Women's 4x400m Relay Final

Ireland’s women’s 4x400m relay team didn’t get the medal they were after in Saturday night's European Championship final but the quartet has already set its sights on next year’s World Championships in Hungary and the Paris Olympics in 2024.

Starting out in lane five with Sophie Becker, the Irish were sixth at the end of the first leg and seventh by the time Phil Healy finished her lap. Rhasidat Adeleke got the team back into fifth but the top four were light years ahead of the rest and Sharlene Mawdsley brought them home in sixth.
