    Is McCullough throwing for Ireland now or is this likely in the future?

    There was talk of him making the switch last year though not hundred percent certain whether this happened yet or if it is still on the cards but I think he was considering it in order to make the OG as the competition for places in US will be tough with 7 Hammer throwers out performing him last year

    Round up of weekend results. Few good performances which slipped under the radar;

    Robinson in 3.41 in Brisbane and Conor McCullough winning the weight throw by over 6m in the Harvard -Yale - Princeton meet.


    That was Brett Robinson who ran 3.41, Paul ran 3.48

    why was Derval once again complaining about lack of competition at the odyssey?

    she has been pre-selected, she could've done the uk trials and raced jess ennis instead? or ran over 60m at belfast to improve sharpness?

    pretty poor championships on the whole but nice to see the likes of daniel mooney and brian kelly win national medals in normally loaded events

    good to see seye ogunlewe back racing on these shores, unfortunate that he won't be able to race for Ireland however

    ben reynolds was very impressive, heard he has a race in gent so hopefully get the standard there

    very impressive junior performances from finnegan, lawler and lavin, the altter particularly competing in the lane next to a former world champion over that event

    also anyone know how gillick has been getting on? he had always ran indoors and then the one year he decided to skip it he had an atrocious year, wouldve thought being a runner (superstitious bunch) he wouldve got back racing a couple of times

    God no, she aint peaking early at all. I fully believe she can break her national record of 50.71. Why on earth not? I'm sure that's the least of her ambitions for the Olympics, so with such a target then 51.8 is exactly where she would want to be now. Would be great if she could bag the A-Standard in Melbourne in the next few weeks, to get that out of the way, so she can fully focus on London for the rest of the summer.

    Sally Pearson wins in Sydney in 12.66, AND she knocked over the last hurdle!:eek: Crazy running for February! The only way she doesn't win in London is if she clocks a hurdle ala Devers or Lolo.

    EDIT: Results here:

    Kelly Proper only managed 5.98m at the Birmingham Grand Prix today:(, thought she was coming back to form with her 6.34m in Belfast last week but more to do yet this year.

    Gregan has just tweeted that Ghent was his last indoors of the year, so no World Indoors for him presumably.

    Some Irish results from this weekend courtesy of AAI website. Notable performance by Colin Quirke who set a new Irish U23 record in the shot put (17.91cm) and is now only 15cm shy of the long-standing Irish senior indoor shot record held by his father Paul Quirke (18.06cm set in New York, 1991).
    Dave McCarthy won the 3,000m event at The Armory, NY in 7:57.50mins to better Mark Carroll's previous Big East record of 8:01.56mins.

    It has been a great weekend all round for Irish athletics with great performances from Ben Reynolds, Brian Gregan, Paul Robinson and Joanne Cuddihy to add to Dave McCarthy's victory.

    Here is a report of the 30km walk national championships that took place in Claremorris today. Rob Heffernan did not start due to hamstring injury. Good performance from Michael Doyle showing that he could challenge for the 50km Olympic qualifying standard. Jamie Costin could well challenge for this standard too so it will be fascinating to see who will end up on the plane to London in the summer.

    Is this the first Irish team to travel with the benefit of both a Team Manager and a Team Leader?

    Good to see Sean C. traveling with 2 hurdlers competing and of course the therapist but what the hell with the Team Manager and Team Leader?

    Suspect there is trouble in camp regarding those two individuals but then no surprise.

    Well I have seen it all now Team Management bigger than the team itself. What do we need a team leader for? all we are short of is a Team Roadie!!:)

    Droping like flies in the 60m hurdles for women for the world indoors.
    Lolo jones not named in the usa team.
    nytra, vukicevic , felicein, wells, carrutters all not named in teams.
    kirisi castlin usa is world leader with 7.84. no championship experience on world level.
    tiffany porter and of course sally pearson will be there. so still tough enough.
    only 4 girls under 8 seconds in the field i think. all with not much experience bar porter at world level. plus sally pearson who will prob win gold. if Derval can round into shape come worlds , she might grab a level who knows.:D

    Yeap lots of big names seem to be out in the hurdles, which certainly opens up medal chances if Derval is at or near her best.

    I would have liked to see Derval get another race in before the champs, any chance she might race this week/weekend? She'll have to show dramatic improvements in the first round and semi final to progress to the final, but it is within her capabilities. I think she can go low 7.90's at least...

    Her sister Catriona is on the start list for the womens B 400 too.

    I'm heading out to it this evening. Should be a great evening of athletics with Rudisha in the 800, a great looking mens 5k and Sally Pearson seemingly in the decathlon!

    Was a good run in decent conditions with a wet track. Held off Tamsyn Manou (Lewis) down the straight.

    Brilliant night of athletics. The set up showed what the organisers of the Irish Nationals do so wrong in terms of commentary, running time, food available etc,

    Sally Pearson won the hurdles by half a mile in 12.50 and came back to win the 200 in 23.02 all after winning the 100 the night before.

    Big talking point is that Mottram looked great again. Winning the 5k in about 13.20 destroying Collis Birmingham in the last 200 after looking strong all the way through. Olympic 5k spot secure.
