Olympics Day 8 live updates: Ireland’s Rhys McClenaghan wins gold in men’s pommel horse as Kellie Harrington hopes to upgrade bronze“This was the goal of my championships, every round was an Olympic final for me,” Doyle said. “So I treated it like any race today and ran it like I’ve done all season. I proved that yesterday was only a bit of an off day due to nerves and inexperience, I feel much better now.
McCann finished seventh in the same race, running 3:36.50. There was also disappointment for Coscoran who was off his best in the second repechage. The Balbriggan man came home in 12th position in a time of 3:39.45. Doyle will return on Sunday night for the 1,500m semi-finals, with a chance to make the Olympic final.
The USA had to settle for silver, clocking 3:07.74, with Great Britain holding on to win bronze in 3:08.01, also a national record, evidence again of how the event is fast moving on.
