The Steeplechase is such a bizarre event.

[Sportacus]

Why is it so poorly attended?  It literally looks like family and friends only in the crowd.
Fingers crossed for Mageean tonight.

Seems a bit incongruous that Israel should be in the European championships, and it not being in Europe, while Russia...

There are two Irish athletes in final.

Very good.

[Bogman]

Fair play to her.

[Bogman]

Healy in 7th also well done to her.

[weareros]

Fantastic run!

[gallsman]

Brilliant stuff from Mageean. Senior gold at last!

Tough enough in the end having to fight her way through the middle of Reekie and Bell, thought she was about to fall

[imtommygunn]

Yesss. She was the best there too - won by a bit in the end.

[Truthsayer]

Ciara so deserves that gold... great champion

100%

Have the 400M guys got a new coach?

Alberto Salazar

In all seriousness it's a huge improvement or turn around these last few years

[Sportacus]

Fantastic. She had to scrap for that and that sums up her career. Amazing person.

[Capt Pat]

You wait 26 years for a gold medal and then two come along at once. Well done Ciara.

Adeleke could get number 3 in the 400 metres.
