A trio of Irish athletes are on the start list for tonight at the Flutlicht Meeting in Trier, Germany, with Sophie O’Sullivan, Shane Bracken, and Brian Fay all in action at the Moselstadion. O’Sullivan goes in the women’s 800m, Bracken takes on the men’s 1500m, while Fay also features in the 1500m.
For O’Sullivan and Fay, this is a key tune-up ahead of the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, which get underway in less than two weeks. O’Sullivan opened her year in style with NCAA success over 1500m, but her outdoor season has since brought mixed fortunes, including a tough run at the European Team Championships and an a withdrawal from Nationals. Fay, meanwhile, saw his grip on the 5000m national title slip to Andrew Coscoran, and will be eager to find sharpness before Tokyo. Bracken arrives off the back of a steady season and will be looking to capitalise on a strong field in the men’s 1500m.
