Some of Ireland's biggest names will be in action across Europe today, headlined by the London Diamond League, where Mark English and Cian McPhillips go head-to-head in a world-class men's 800 metres. Sarah Healy also returns to Diamond League competition in the women's 3000 metres, while Ireland's men's and women's 4x100 metre relay squads continue their push for qualification to next month's European Championships. Para stars Orla Comerford and Brandon Ballard are also in action earlier in the programme.
Attention then switches to Belgium for the KBC Night of Athletics, where another large Irish contingent will be chasing fast times. Jodie McCann and Eimear Maher, both already in possession of the European Championships B standard over 1500 metres, will be looking to boost their qualification rankings, while Maddie Mooney arrives in confident form after victory in Finland last weekend. Former Irish cross-country champion Keelan Kilrehill also headlines a strong Irish distance contingent in the men's 5000 metres.
