And uh I know obviously Kate O'Connor is just the queen.
She is just the queen.
She was under so
Well, this is the thing about Kate O'Connor.
She is mentally extremely strong and we saw that at a crucial point in the the women's high jump when she got over the
one meter eighty six, which is the equaling of her personal best, uh, in the very last jump.
She did almost the same thing at the European Indoor Championship last March, twelve months, which was the beginning of this road towards where she is now, probably in the top two in the world in the Heptathlon and the t leading European.
She has this nerve, this competitive nerve, which you just cannot buy.
And once she has that and stays sound, because physically
Remaining sound is a huge part for the Heptason because they've got seven different events to to to train for.
The capacity for getting a niggle here or an injury there is huge just before the World Indoor Championships last March.
Two weeks before it, after she had uh performed really well in the national championships in the long jump and in the 60 meters hurdles, she picked up a knee injury two weeks beforehand, somehow got herself right for the world indoors and competed in the world indoor.
Doors with a knee injury, and this is what happened athletes have to do.
They have to compete through niggles and the capacity to get injured because they're training for seven different events is a knife edge scenario.
But on that knife edge, she has negotiated it brilliantly because her consistency level has been to the point where she's won six major championship medals in the last eighteen months, has never failed to win a medal when she's turned up for a major championship, culminating in this European gold medal.
Ah no, no, no, it's never off putting, you know, especially because athletics fans, so many of them are athletics people and they know, you know, when to temper their their their cheers and, you know, quieten down when a an athlete is doing a high jump like Kate O'Connor and then really obviously they have this clapping sort of rhythm thing that they do for the high jumpers and sometimes the high jumpers want it, sometimes they don't.
Uh but they are they're they're hugely respectful.
One in eight tickets uh at at these European Championships went to Irish addresses.
It was an astonishing sort of uh thing to see so so much green.
And also what was really interesting was a lot of the home British fans didn't wear the colours of their country, they're just at home, whereas almost every single Irish fan was wearing green.
