"I didn't finish where I wanted to finish, but I can't forget I had a great season before this. A national record at my age is huge, so I'm excited to see what comes next."
Elizabeth Ndudi just 16cm away from a medal in the world U20 long jump final - finishes 6th with 6.18m
"It takes a village" to make it to the top. Well the whole village turned up to see Nicola Tuthill's superb Olympic debut. Youngest in field almost squeezed her way into the final. Congrats to her, her family, Coach Killian Barry & all support team. @sportireland @irishathletics – at Saint-Denis, France
