There is heartbreak for European Champion Ciara Mageean as injury has forced her to withdraw from today’s heats of the 1500 metres. Sarah Healy and Sophie O’Sullivan will take part in today’s heats shortly after 9am. Irish Showjumpers Shane Sweetnam and Daniel Coyle will compete in their final beginning shortly after 9am – the pair will be amongst the last to compete leaving them in a position to know the target to beat to win a medal.
