Athletes Being Present Four Years Ago 2008 Irish Olympic Team Briefing Athletics Ireland Team Story so far After a disappointing Athens Olympics for athletics, there has been a changing of the guard with only five of the thirteen qualified athletes being present four years ago. There have been several standout performances in those four years such as Derval O’Rourke’s World indoor Championships Gold and silver in the European Championships in 2006. David Gillick has also won two European Indoor titles at 400m. The Irish Sports Council in conjunction with Athletics Ireland made timely interventions post European Championships which have proved very positive. The Irish Athletics team has improved year on year and had a successful World Championship in 2007 in Japan with eight athletes finishing in the top 16 of their respective events. Paul Hession is in very strong form after a double in the 100m & 200m in the Cork City Sports. Both Robert Heffernan and David Gillick have set new national records this season for the 20km Walk and the 400m respectively. Olive Loughnane is another athlete to watch after a personal best performance at the IAAF Race Walking Challenge finishing in 6 th place. Supporting the team All the athletes who will be representing Ireland in the Bird’s Nest stadium receive both financial and medical support from the Irish Sports Council. Derval O’Rourke is the only contracted athlete with eight athletes receiving World Class level funding. The remaining qualified athletes receive funding at International level. Athletics Ireland provides a High Performance programme funded by the Irish Sports Council and has 80 athletes in total with a support strategy that includes warm weather training camps, medical support and preparation for international competitions. The High Performance team in Athletics Ireland includes the Director of Athletics along with other support staff. Once again Matsue, Japan will be used as the preparation base having proved successful for the world championships in Osaka. Ireland’s elite athletes will be joined in this excellent training camp by triathlete Emma Davies and mountain biker Robin Seymour. As per 2007, 20K World Championship silver medalist Paco Fernandez will join the camp as training partner to Rob Heffernan.

The National 50km walk record holder was on course for a big personal best at the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Cheboksary, Russia May 11 but suffered a reaction to a food supplement at 36km which resulted in him getting sick. Despite this, Colin still managed to finish 25th in 3:58:26 under the Olympic "A" standard of 4 hours. More recently he won the Irish National 20km Championships in Royal Leamington Spa finishing 2nd overall. The meticulous Griffin should be in top form come Beijing. The National Track and Field Championships will be his last competition before Beijing where he will compete in the 10km walk. Colin is from a rich athletics background. His father Padraig Griffin was a former president of the former Irish Athletics Organization BLE. His mother Patricia Griffin is former International long distance athlete. Jamie Costin - 50km Walk Date of Birth: 1-06-1977 Club: West Waterford A.C Coach: Ilya Markov Place of Birth: Ring Co.

A car crash nine days before he was scheduled to compete at the 2004 Olympic Games left Jamie with two broken vertebrae as well as other fractures in his back with questions whether he would walk again let alone compete. “I had just finished a morning's training near Athens when a lorry, driving on the wrong side of the road, ploughed into his rental car. "One of the vertebrae literally exploded and I was very fortunate that it didn't sever the spinal cord," Despite failing to finish in Osaka, 2007 was a very successful year for Costin where he set a new personal best for the 50km walk of 3:53:30 at Royal Leamington Spa, Coventry. This season has seen him finish 59th at the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Cheboksary, Russia in 1:25:59 and 3rd at the 8th European Athletics Race Walking Permit meeting in Royal Leamington Spa in the shorter 20km in 1:24:37.

  • Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020
    Irish Universities Athletics Champions 1873-2020 Updated March 2020 University athletics have played important roles in the foundation and evolution of track and field in Ireland. The first athletics meeting took place in College Park on Saturday 28 February, 1857, under the auspices of Trinity College Dublin Football (rugby) Club, termed ‘The Dublin University Football Club Foot Races’. This athletics meeting was only preceded by meetings organised by The Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London in 1842 and at Exeter College, Oxford in 1850. What became known as "The College Races" continued through until 1986, except on eight occasions – 1878 and 1879 when the Board of the College refused permission because of a drunken riot by students in 1877, WWI (1915-1919) and 1921 because a female student spectator had been shot dead by an I.R.A. sniper from Nassau Street during a cricket match. The first All-Ireland Track and Field Championships were held in College Park under the auspices of Irish Champion Athletic Club on 7 July, 1873, with some 8,000 spectators watching 91 entries in the 13 events. Henry Wallace Doveton Dunlop, a Trinity graduate, was the founder of the I.C.A.C. His lasting achievement was the building of Lansdowne Road Rugby Ground, the oldest international rugby ground in the world, as a multi-sport complex for athletics, cricket, rugby, tennis, archery and bowls. College Park and Lansdowne Road would continue to be prime venues for international athletics matches and meetings and Irish championships for over a century. The Queen’s University of Ireland was established formally by Royal Charter on 3 September 1850 as the degree-awarding body for the Queen’s Colleges of Belfast, Cork and Galway, which had been established in 1845.

Address: RUNNERS WORLD, 598 High Street, East Kew, Victoria (Melways 45 G4) Telephone: 03 9817 3503 Hours : Monday to Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm Saturday: 9:00am to 3:00pm Website: http://www.runnersworld.com.au/ TIM'S WALKER OF THE WEEK Last week's Walker of the Week was Jared Tallent with his great 7th place Olympic 20km walk with 1:20:02. For Jared, it was another fantastic top-eight finish and it was in the lesser of his two Olympic events. With the Olympic 50km event this week, Jared upped the ante even further, taking his second successive Olympic 50km silver medal and recording a 2+ minute PB time of 3:36:53, also breaking the Olympic record into the bargain. What a performance! Walker of the Week! 50KM MEN'S RACEWALK, OLYMPIC GAMES, THE MALL, LONDON, SATURDAY 11 AUGUST 2012 The men's Olympic 50km walk started at 9AM at the Mall in London and I was one of the many spectators who lined the 2km loop to cheer on the contestants. My report on the Men's 50km Race Walk is taken from that of Dave Martin for the IAAF (see http://www.iaaf.org/Mini/OLY12/News/NewsDetail.aspx?id=67421) Sergey Kirdyapkin, the man to be beaten having won the IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Saransk in May, shattered the existing record of 3:37:09 with a decisive victory.
