In what would already have gone down as an unforgettable European Athletics U18 Championships for Ireland's athletes, Sarah Healy has crowned it off with another gold medal in this evening's 1500 m final. The outstanding favourite going into the race, Healy set a championship-record for good measure.
Healy's second gold of the championships, it takes Ireland's tally to four overall - Rhasidat Adeleke and Sophie O'Sullivan claiming gold and silver medals in the 200 m and 800 m respectively.
After demonstrating an incredible prowess in winning the 3000 m on Friday evening, Healy looked equally comfortable over the shorter distance. Undertaking a serious task in running both races, the Blackrock Athletics Club runner is certainly one to look out for on the senior circuit in years to come.

Another Irish athlete to look out for at those championships is Cork's Darragh McIlhinney. Claiming gold in the 1500 m at the Irish Life Health Junior and U23 Track and Field Championships in Tullamore last weekend, the 17-year-old will be competing in the 5000 m in Finland.
