Michaela Walsh had a busy morning at the European U20 Athletics Championships in Italy.
First up, at the 8:10am this morning, the 18-year-old from Mayo featured in the shot put qualifying round.
An effort of 15.39m, qualifying her in seventh, would be good enough for a spot in tomorrow evening's final.
So it's a quick turnaround for Michaela Walsh. She qualified for the shot put final with 15.39m + now moves across to the hammer circle!

Shortly after qualifying for her first final of the Championships, Walsh attempted to make another.
There was little rest and just a few practice attempts in the hammer before she launched a 62.33m effort.
It was her first attempt and good enough to qualify in first for the final which also takes place on Saturday.
it's up, up and away and Michaela Walsh has qualified with her first attempt in the hammer with 62.33m #grosseto2017
