It’s a packed Saturday for Irish athletics with action in Poland, Switzerland, and Belgium. From Diamond League showdowns to a stacked Continental Tour meet, there’s plenty of Irish firepower on display this afternoon and evening.
Before you build your day around it, a gentle reminder: start lists are a bit like weather forecasts, not always reliable. Athletes can scratch, switch events, or just disappear without warning. On we go.
