On paper runners look well capable of surpassing the three medals won last year in Dublin
That also fell short of the four-medal haul from the previous time out, in Lisbon 2019, though it still left Ireland fifth on the overall medal table.
McElhinney has made no secret of his desire to at least make the podium: “I’m way fitter,” says the 22 year-old Glengarriff athlete, who won a first senior cross-country title in Rosapenna last Sunday. “Whereas now, after running 13.17 over the summer, I see myself more as a 13;00s guy, hopefully next year. So because of the nature of what we did last year, nothing is going to satisfy me unless I win individually and gold for the team. We have an unbelievable team, there’s no two ways about it.”
