Image: Sasa Pahic Szabo/INPHO THE IRELAND MEN’S and women’s 4x400m relay teams clocked two new national records at the 2022 World Indoor Championships in Belgrade.

Cillin Greene , Cathal Crosbie , Brian Gregan and Chris O’Donnell recorded a time of 3:08.63, but missed out on a final spot by just 0.33 of a second. “Ultimately we are very disappointed but a national record and one place off the final, it’s not bad, we wanted a lot more and I’m gutted now to be honest,” O’Donnell added.“But it’s great to see Brian back and Cathal’s first championship, Cillin ran a really good leg and us four guys will be back for the European Outdoors and I really think we can do well there. We just have to build on this, hopefully a lot more this year.

“I’m really proud of the girls because we showed we can mix it with the best. To be so close to the final is obviously really disheartening, but we left it all out on the track,” Mawdsley said, echoing all her team-mates words as they looked to “the bigger picture”:Another NR for the 4x400m relay team but they miss out on a final place at the #WorldIndoorChamps @DavidGillick @irishathletics #RTEsport pic.twitter.
