The Irish Olympian is gearing up for the European Athletics Championships in Rome this week
Barr, who famously finished fourth in the Rio Olympics, still loves what he does but he knows that, with his 35th birthday coming on the eve of the Paris Games, time is fast running out on his 400m career. With that in mind he will embrace every big opportunity that comes his way in the coming weeks and months.
"There's no reason why we can't be coming home with a medal around our necks from Europeans and I think that's where we should be aiming. It's where we are now." "I am trying to enjoy what I am doing and also perform to the best I can. That’s been all through my career, to enjoy where I’m at, but this year in particular I'm definitely ensuring I get the most I can out of it.
Then he suffered calf and achilles niggle in January, and they flared up again in April when he ramped things up. Right now, despite not having the full preparation he had hoped for, Barr is feeling good.
