"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

Ballinrobe's Oisín Joyce wins the first ever throws medal for Ireland at the World U20 Championships, throwing an Irish U20 record of 73.89m to win a brilliant javelin bronze in Lima, Peru. "I was bricking it for most of the competition, to be honest with you."

A refresh of this from 2022 after Oisin Joyce’s 🥉 from World u20 in Lima last night. A close look at underage All-Ireland javelin results from past 6-7 years will show domination from one club, across a range of athletes. Something very positive going on in Lake District AC

It was the throw of his life, right when he needed it most, and with that Oisin Joyce did something no Irish teenager had ever done. Story on a piece of Irish athletics history in Lima last night, and the Mayo thrower who made it happen. independent.ie/sport/other-sp…

Stood beside Padraic Joyce at a juvenile All-Ireland in July His cues at the fence, 1 or 2 words, to 13-15 year olds were so simple, calm & clear. Most times the young athlete would execute the cue in the next throw. Class coaching. Coaches, like athletes, are all out there.

As the World U20s are showing, Australia has lots of huge talents coming through. One of the biggest is Torrie Lewis, who'll go for gold over 200m tonight. Talked to her about beating Sha'Carri, her first Olympics, and going to train with Gabby Thomas. worldathletics.org/competitions/w…
