  1. Astonishing performance. Unbelievably impressive championship for Cian; overshadowed a bit by English’s recent resurgence this year but he’s arrived now. Get everything behind him.

    Irish Athletics goes from strength to strength with young young stars at the forefront. Exciting times.

  3. Longford finally have a Superstar. This kid is going to win a lot of medals.

  4. Really couldn’t of done much more
    2 Sb and a WCR in the top 3

  5. Crazy race like seemed like he was way out of contention coming into the last stretch but some finish from him. Difference of just 0.2 seconds from a medal, looking forward to see what he does in future

  7. Absolutely brilliant. He’s a smart fella and will have learned a lot from how to approach championships and how to run races at this level.

    You could see in his interview after the semifinal that he’d already learned to put into practice what he’d learned about recovery between big races and you could see that in his condition in the final.

    I think what he’ll take from the final is that he has the finishing speed and strength endurance to be able to finish faster than some of these top athletes but he’ll have to improve his midrace positioning, pacing and stamina to be able to put himself in a position with 150 to go where he can realistically use that finishing pace and strength endurance to his advantage and get amongst the medals.

    All that’s to come though and I’m absolutely convinced (barring injuries of course) that he’s here to stay at this level. This isn’t flash in the pan stuff. Absolute future world level medal winner guaranteed. Phenomenal stuff. He should be so proud of himself.

  8. Another 10 or 20 yards and he’d have overtaken the bronze medallist. What a finish!

  10. As a male in his 30s who has always grown up around playing and watching sport I found the past 2 weeks wonderful watching all the Irish athletes in the boxing and the athletics but in particularly the male athletes.

    I’m in absolute awe seeing such a high number of Irish male athlete’s competing and seeing the likes of Cian McPhillips setting a new national record and *the next thing some other lad does soon hopefully so I can complete my wind up post*! They make me so proud to be Irish! They are the such incredible role model’s especially to young boys and its these type of males we should be looking up to and not “online influencers” and “content creators”.

  11. I believe he’s the fastest European right now currently. Only 23.

  13. So close to the Bronze but he’ll that get that and more in time. Great work from our athletes.

  15. So close to third, incredible performance though.

  16. πŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌπŸ™ŒπŸΌ been thrilling watching these events, do much talent on show. Great for him !!!

  18. I’m sure they will have to test the Kenya lad given they are the biggest dopers in athletics so he might get the bronze yet.

  21. He’s also the fastest 800m male runner from either Britain or Ireland after Sebastian coe.

  22. The chat on BBC1 was about how incredible the performance of the English guy who came 6th was, and how incredible a sub 1:43 time was, for context of just how amazing Cian’s performance was.

  23. So in other words, he’s too slow for a medal.
