It goes completely under the radar how much this helps us as athletes. Whether its the ability to go on a training camp, fly to a competition to try qualify for OLY, or pay for physio throughout the year to keep us healthy. @JKiernanFund is what gets most of us through the year.

Had the highest hamstring strength in the nordic board and my right hamstring is now stronger than my left. 10 weeks after tearing it. Tee-hee

Italian team named. Doesn’t include two athletes included in the @EuroAthletics Final Top 30 list for the men’s 400. Add to this 1 x GBR athlete & 1 x NOR athlete, that makes 4 spaces free. So an Hungarian, Irish and 2 Ukrainians will lose out & only 26 athletes will toe the line

Pleased to have filmed the fastest Irishman in history, as he returned to his old school in Dundalk. @IsraelOlatunde5 is one of the humblest guys you’ll ever meet.

@EuroAthletics making a mess of the qualification system. Outdoor times should not count towards indoor events. Many 400m 400m h don’t run well indoor but will qualify based off their outdoor times. A 46.37 athlete sitting at home when the previous stand was 47.10 in crazy

Disappointed not to make a final today and finish 9th overall, felt the legs had more. Finally close my season tomorrow looking to take home atleast one W with the 4x400 boys. 🤝🤘 #ronaseason

This is bullshit! There are 4 spots not filled, and a 46.37 athlete couldn't get one of them! The system is a failure!

6th fastest man in Europe. NR on the biggest stage. Took some big scalps. 10.17 is scary at 20. The next big thing @IsraelOlatunde5
