Absolutely loved watching the European athletics championships over the past few days. Fantastic athletes – Amy Hunt, Dina Asher-Smith, Jaz Sawyers, Georgia Hunter-Bell, Keely Hodgkinson – giving us so much joy. Bravo to you all.

I have hugely enjoyed pretty much every moment of the European Athletics Championships and I am very sad that it’s over.

A huge congratulations to all the athletes who represented Ireland with such distinction at the European Athletics and Aquatics Championships in Birmingham and Paris. Congratulations to everyone who competed, achieved personal bests and brought medals home to Ireland. #TeamIreland

Dozens of athletes, including Amy Hunt, and thousands of spectators were caught up in a massive security operation involving armed police at the European Athletics Championships on Saturday night

Italy just beat Britain by 3 hundredths of a second to win the whole European athletics championships in the last moment of the last event. What an incredible week it has been!

Ireland a top ten country in European athletics. That’s a fantastic achievement.

Yes, yes! Abbie Donnelly superb bronze medal in the Women's Marathon. Lincolnshire girl - one for we yellow bellies to celebrate 🥳🥳

I've called this female Common Blue butterfly about to take off from the Tansy flower Dina, as she reminds me of the brilliant British sprinter Dina Asher-Smith. Well done to all the British athletes in the European Athletics Championship! #butterflies

If GB could do even 50% better at the throwing and jumping events, they'd dominate European athletics But for some reason - coaching, funding, weather, whatever - we just cannot produce throwers in particular
