If only my car had a flux capacitor so I could go back and put a bet on Leicester at the start of the season!! Wonder what odds I could get on Newcastle for next year – might be worth a flutter!!
UCC student Phil Healy became an internet sensation thanks to her stunning 4x400m run, and Em Ni Mhurchu helped to put her performance into context:
Olympic qualifying for 400mt event is 52.20 she ran a 54 last lap. So even though it wasn’t qualifying time for the Olympics fact she ran that fast AFTER winning the 200mt event earlier in the day and finishing 2nd in 100mt is amazing. This was an outstanding run by an unsponsored athlete that never, ever gave up. She dug deep and surprised everyone including herself. She has talent and incredible determination and that race will inspire thousands of young athletes throughout Ireland. Well done!

Manchester race officials were left red-faced when it emerged that their marathon course was actually less than 26 miles long — and Liam Kidney summed up what plenty of people were thinking:
