World Athletic Championship, Vuelta a Espana and League of Ireland action: your sport on TV this week

Don't Miss: World Athletics Championships are taking place in Budapest continue this week. Ireland got off to a great start with the 4x400m mixed relay team finishing sixth in the final. Sophie O'Sullivan knocked 5 seconds off her PB and achieved Olympic qualification but just missed out on the 1500m final by finishing eighth in her heat. Sarah Healy ran a PB in the 1500m semi-final and was unlucky not to make the final. Ciara Mageean is through to the 1500m final taking place on Tuesday at 8.31pm. Rhasidat Adeleke got her championships off to a flying start easing into the 400m semi-final taking place on Monday at 8.12pm. She is joined by Sharlene Mawdsley who runs in heat two of the 400m semi-finals. All the action is live on Virgin Media Two. 

Set the Sky Box: Vuelta a Espana begins this weekend. Time-trial takes place on Saturday and the La Vuelta 23 will go wind its way through Andorra, France and Spain in 21 stages which include seven mountain stages covering a total of 3,100km. Live on Eurosport. 

Streaming Pick: We are nearing the business end of the League of Ireland season with nine games to go. Shamrock Rovers sit top of the league table for the last few months and victory over Dundalk, who currently sit fifth and still in the title race, would be a big step for Rovers fourth title in a row. It's tight at the top of the table with St Pat's leading the way just four points behind Rovers and they play UCD on Friday. Derry City take on Bohs in a third place versus fourth place match up. All games are live on LOITV.
