Ciara Mageean is set to get married
Ciara Mageean ended 2024 by getting engaged to her "training partner for life" after saying yes to boyfriend Tommy's proposal.
"It’s a very selfish life that I live but I look forward to that next stage of life when I don’t necessarily have to be that selfish." She told Patrick Kielty on The Late Late Show last month how she made the decision sitting with her boyfriend in the Olympic village in the French capital. "He had to walk away because he didn't want me to see him cry. I phoned my family who were all together and phoned my aunt Adele who I'm super close to and explained that I wasn't going to get to toe the line in this Olympic Games.""I have certainly chatted to other athletes in the past who approached Olympic Games knowing it was going to be their last, whereas I knew I've been on an upward tangent for the past few years," Mageean said last November.
"And much to my father’s dismay maybe - no, I know he’ll be delighted - I said, ‘what are you talking about, I’m not retiring yet, there’s another Olympics in four years time and I’ve only gotten faster over the past few years, so I’m determined to be back'.
