"Look, it wasn't good enough this time, but I've gotta learn from it. "Still, first European home, beaten by three Olympic medallists. It's hard to say I could have done a whole lot better." Cian McPhillips after his 4th place in a massive Irish record.

That is an absolutely astonishing performance by Cian McPhillips - 1:42.15. Did not get the reward he probably deserved. It took three Olympic medallists to beat him.

Feature on Fionnuala McCormack, who doesn't have social media, doesn't own a smartphone and who's long preferred to let her results do the talking. Attention and adulation? "That’s not why I started in the sport and it’s not what I want to get out of it" m.independent.ie/sport/women…
