Ireland's gold medal in the mixed 4x400m relay is likely to inspire a new generation of athletes.
Last night, the mixed relay team of Chris O'Donnell, Rhasidat Adeleke, Thomas Barr and Sharlene Mawdsley won the accolade for Ireland at the European Athletics Championships.
"It was just an incredible night. I was there with my husband and two kids, and it was just a wonderful sight to see us crossing the line in first place and they all ran incredibly well," she said. Mr Johnston said it was this determination that he hoped would inspire the next generation competing in this weekend's event.
Orlaith O'Grady from Clongriffin AC found Thomas Barr's performance last night among the most inspiring.
