Ep 3633: Kate’s Medal Rampage, Coscoran’s Late Charge, Irish Athletics’ Week Of Wonder - 17/08/26

A week that will live long in the memory concluded yesterday with Ireland coming away from the Birmingham track and the Parisian pool with an incredible haul of nine medals.

We reflect on Kate’s medal rampage and how she’s set for the Olympics, Corcoran’s perfect timing, Rhasidat’s fresh mindset and English’s glory with Cathal Dennehy and Sonia O'Sullivan.

The River Liffey's Paul O'Flynn reminds us of someone and a hero of Giants Stadium salutes a rising track star.
