2022 European Athletics Championships, Munich

It's now live on the RTE News channel.

They could have put Rangers on the news channel. Not even HD.

I'd say they were caught napping when creating the schedules and didn't realise that Olatunde might might make the 100m final (and by the time he did, it was way too late to change things around).

Very well said. I was wondering what the reaction on the “multicultural” thread would be - but I should have guessed they would arrive here to spread their “views”.

Brilliant result. Thrilled.

He looks ecstatic too at the NR.....good man.

Hope the injury gods are good to him in his future career. Great to see him celebrating there after the race. He deserves all the success going forward

Well done to him - saved his best run for the final and took the NR. Really enjoyable couple of days following him, he's an exciting talent and seems to suit the big stage.

Fair play to Israel, a fantastic prospect, a very strong finisher, hopefully over next few years he can improve his first 50 meters. Delighted he got the NR.

Great that he got his moment in the sun too. The TV coverage showed him celebrating with the tricolour and this was shown on the screens in the arena too.

Brilliant for Olatunde. This could be the making of him

They actually use photo finish technology with AUTOCAD like lines against the finishers torso, BBC showed the photo finish stills with the lines drawn.

really? never heard that before

Looks like he went for it with a couple of laps to go by following the break and hoped the adrenaline/occasion would carry him through the final lap. It must have been a very painful last lap after that for him.

Great day of athletics again with Ciara Mageen showing really good form to make the final and great runs from Olotunde in the semi and final tonight along with Adeleke reaching the final.

Chris O'Donnell just missed out and Fay and McElhinney will benefit from the experience of a major track final.

That was one of the most enjoyable days of watching Irish athletes in a long time. Mageean was class, Adeleke into a major final at 19 and the star of the show Israel with an Irish record in a senior major final after a thrilling 2nd in the semi. Looking forward to Tom Barr in the morning and then Rhasidat at 9pm.

Talk about a "fine line"

the exaggerated dip which ended in a fall got her the gold.

Fantastic day for Irish athletics yesterday! Everyone had fantastic performances. Was watching them on the RTE player on my phone in work on the sly! My heart went out to McElhiney - he was in a great position at the start of the final lap but must have run out of steam, he'd a brilliant run up to that point. And Fay made great strides on his last lap. Both lads will have learned lots from that race. Really felt for Healy, she's a great runner. What a stellar performance from Olutunde!! Was a little nervous for him in the final - up against some tough lads, but he held his own and had a phenomenal run. Oluntunde and Adeleke are only 19/20 - I'm looking forward to seeing them progress in the coming years.

Terrific race. Delighted for Lückenkemper in front of her home crowd. She's a very talented athlete who has been plagued with injury for the last several years. Great to see her land a significant title. It's worth re-visiting the 4x100m relay in Eugene. Her phenomenal third leg around the bend almost single-handedly won Germany the bronze medal. I actually think she has greater upside in the 200m and could potentially be a global medalist over the longer sprint.

Feel bad for Kambungi. She had it in the bag, but her form completely fell apart over the final 10m. It's very unlike her as she is usually so consistent. The British girl in third (Neita) looked mightily pissed off. Looks like she left her best race on the track in the semi-finals.

Don't waste your breath on him, he's been banned and rightly so.
