That's two out of three Olympic medallists in the women's 100m hurdles who are coached by Dubliner John Coghlan - who just a few years ago was physical conditioning coach for Meath GAA. (Having been unable to earn a living coaching athletics in Ireland). Some job once again.

When I sent this email to Enda Fitz about a potential new DCU recruit in 2016 called Sophie Becker, little did I know what we were getting into (& that she was actually from Wexford) Eight years later, she has done alright.

See you all at the homecoming 👋 olympics.ie/homecoming-pla… #Paris2024 | #TeamIreland | #IrishAthletics

“When I heard there was a homecoming I thought it would be a bit like a birthday party when you’re afraid no one is going to show up” - Sophie Becker speaks at the Olympic homecoming in Dublin city where over 20,000 people have gathered to welcome Team Ireland home.

4th IN THE OLYMPIC FINAL🥲💔 Bittersweet and agonisingly close to a medal, but a performance we will forever be proud of💚 We shattered the national record for the 3rd time this year, with 3.19.90…A time quick enough to win a silver medal in every Olympic final apart from 1988

Also a special mention to Kelly McGrory, because without her and the phenomenal role she played in the heats, this team would not have qualified for the final 🙌🏻 We are so incredibly grateful to everyone for all the love and support ❤️☘️
