Israel Olatunde breaks Irish 100m National Record

 

4252573_10_articlelarge_2903479.jpg

 

 

Israel Olatunde set a new Irish NR in the 100m at the NEB Open meeting in London this afternoon. His time of 10.12 secs (+1.7 m/s) carved 0.05 secs off his current Irish record which he set at the European Championships in Munich in 2022.

 

Great start to the LA 2028 Olympic cycle by Olatunde :). As a reminder, the automatic qualification standard for the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo is 10.00 secs so he still has a little bit to go to reach that but this is an encouraging result in what has been a difficult 2 years for Israel.

Ireland wrapped up a successful week in the water at the 2024 World Rowing Championships in St.Catherine's, Canada with a haul of 4 medals including 2 golds and 2 bronze.

 

The highlight of the performances came from double Olympic champion, Paul O'Donovan, who claimed his third world title in the men's senior lightweight singles category.

Reigning champion Siobhán McCrohan claimed another medal in the women's senior lightweight single sculls, this time having to settle for the bronze medal behind 2022 champion and Olympic medalist, Ionela Cozmiuc of Romania.

In the Under 23 category, Ireland's Ciaran Purdy and Donnacha Keeley carried on the fantastic success of Irish men's lightweight rowing by claiming gold in the lightweight double sculls.

Meanwhile Brian Colsh partnered with Adam Murphy to claim the bronze in the men's heavyweight doubles sculls.

There were no medals for Ireland in the under 19 categories, but they did have a few creditable results, including a 4th place finish for the junior men's quadruple sculls squad.

 

Overall a good championships for Ireland with plenty of young blood to keep the success and momentum going into the future.

    • Difficult for us without Neagu But we had some good moments against Montenegro last night. We lost due to many errors in defence, we have to improve that. I don't know what to expect against Serbia, I would say 55% we will go home after group stage, unfortunatly. About the other matches, except Croatia vs Faroe Islands which ended with a draw, not to many surprises.
    • Congrats to Max for another win. Easy race for him   The battle for constructor championship is still running What a disgrace for the directors of the race to not send the safety car on track due to that mirror which caused a puncture to Sainz and Hamilton. By the way, looking of the direction of Bottas when he hit that mirror we can be suspicious that he did that intentionally. Ok, he had to give space to the driver who laped him, but his direction is too strange. Pitty such race was ruined by this incident.
    • World Athletics announce the World Athletes of the Year.  Big awards go to Letsile Tebogo and to Sifan Hassan.    Women’s World Athlete of the Year: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s World Athlete of the Year: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Women’s track: Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone (USA) Women’s field: Yaroslava Mahuchikh (UKR) Women’s out of stadium: Sifan Hassan (NED) Men’s track: Letsile Tebogo (BOT) Men’s field: Mondo Duplantis (SWE) Men’s out of stadium: Tamirat Tola (ETH) Women’s Rising Star: Sembo Almayew (ETH) Men’s Rising Star: Mattia Furlani (ITA)       Seems a bit strange to me - OK, there is a case for Tebogo over Duplantis who can basically win every year, but for me Manuchikh beating an almost 30 year old WR beats winning Olympic Marathon Gold.    Hassan and Tebogo named World Athletes of the Year | World Athletics    
    • Former snooker World Champion Terry Griffiths passed away at the age of 77.
    • Doesn't matter if Shiffrin is there or not, it's still a last minute defeat for Wendy Holdener.  
    • https://www.reuters.com/sports/russian-uzbek-billionaire-usmanov-elected-president-international-fencing-2024-11-30/   he's officially back...and he'll be worse than ever!  
    • boh?    I don't have a consolidated idea yet...   golds? I hope many, but I fear we won't get to 5   medals? hopefully, more than in 2022   the "athlete of the Games"? Davide Ghiotto (speedskating) and Pietro Sighel (short track speedskating) hopefully, also Sofia Goggia (alpine skiing), Arianna Fontana (short track & speedskating) and Stefania Constantini (curling)...but it's just hope, not a prediction   breakthrough? Tommaso Giacomel (men's biathlon)   newcomers? I think the Big Air guys (Tabanelli siblings in freestyle, Matteoli in snowboard), hopefully Erik Canovi in SkiMo (but, as I wrote earlier, I fear it's too early for him, as he's still a junior) with a lot of optimism, Elia Barp (cross-country) and Daniele Di Stefano (speedskating, mass start)   surprising medals? I don't think there's any chance for  to win a truly surprising medal, all those who have just the smallest chance to make the podium, it wouldn't be a true upset if they get it
    • Stage 4 in Killington (USA)   Women´s Slalom:   1. Camille Rast    1:46.86 2. ex aequo Anna Swenn Larsson  and  Wendy Holdener   1:47.44   Full Final Results HERE
