THERE WAS DISAPPOINTMENT for the Irish team in the Mixed 4x400m relay as they failed to reach the Olympic final at the Stade de France today.
Advertisement “I was happy enough, first leg is all about giving us the best position possible and I just wanted to put us in the mix,” O’Donnell told RTÉ. “Looking at all of us running in the team there today, you can’t really pick apart where anything went wrong,” Barr added.“We are disappointed, we were aiming for that final and I think we’re definitely good enough to be there, which our results have shown this year, but it’s just that on the day it didn’t come together. Every team stepped up, it is the Olympics, but we just fell short today. But it’s a performance and a year of performances that we can be extremely proud of.
Beatrice Chebet of Kenya won the heat in 15:00.73, while Friday’s first heat was won by Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon in 14:57.56.
