How to Watch Irish Athletes In Action At The FBK Games This Afternoon

Seven Irish athletes are set to compete at the FBK Games in Hengelo this afternoon, one of the most prestigious World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meetings of the outdoor season.

The headline attraction for Irish fans is the return of Cian McPhillips, who makes his first appearance since January after injury and illness disrupted the early months of his campaign. Sharlene Mawdsley is back over 400m and continues her pursuit of a first ever sub 50 second performance, while Cathal Doyle will be hoping to strengthen his case for Birmingham with another strong run in the men's 1500m.

Elsewhere, already qualified European Championship athletes Nick Griggs and Darragh McElhinney continue their preparations in the men's 5000m, Orla Comerford returns to action after her recent victory at the Bislett Games in Oslo, and Benjamin Richardson will look to build on a series of impressive sprint performances in the men's 100m.
