Ireland’s Mark English after finishing third in Munich tonight. 

Mark English has claimed Ireland’s second medal of these European Championships with a bronze in the men’s 800m final.

The Donegal man had delivered two composed and confident races to make it into tonight’s field. A European bronze medallist back in 2014, he was striving to be just the fourth Irish athlete, and the first man, to claim more than the one senior podium place in these championships.
