The women’s 400m final will headline Ireland’s involvement on day 4 of the European Athletics Championships with relay teammates Rhasidat Adeleke and Sharlene Mawdsley set to take to the medal decider at the Stadio Olimpico at 8.50 pm Irish time.
There is also no shortage of star names taking to the track for Ireland in today’s morning session, with Phil Healy leading the charge in the first of the women’s 200m heats from 9.35 am. Healy will be hoping to use her 400m strength to secure safe passage through to the evening’s semi-final set for 8.05 pm.
The dynamic duo of Andrew Corcoran and Nick Griggs will go in search of qualification from the opening round of the men’s 1500m from 10.20 am, while Louise Shanahan makes her Rome debut in the heats of the 800m at 10.50 am.
Thomas Barr returns to the track following Sunday’s brilliant heat-winning display. The Waterford athlete will likely need to go even faster if he is to progress from the 400m hurdles semi-finals, which are set for an 11.40 a.m. start.
The evening session will see the return of Nicola Tuthill to the hammer cage at 8.33 pm as she takes to her first European senior final before Irish eyes turn to the women’s 400m final, where Rhasidat Adeleke and Sharlene Mawdsley go in search of more Irish athletics history.
