Today with David McCullagh · European Athletics Championship preview · 10 Aug 2026 podcast

Also definitely being number one in Europe ranked has a chance of the gold medal.

Uh Keen McPhillips was a standout uh performer, I think, uh in middle distance uh for the last few years with that extraordinary fourth place finish in the world championships last year, where the only three athletes ahead of him were the three Olympic medalists from Paris.

So Keen McPhillips had a bit of an issue earlier on in the year when he had four teeth removed because he had assist.

in his jaw and so that really delayed a start of the season.

But he's been running into form quite nicely, finished seventh in the Diamond League in London just three weeks ago and uh Mark English was second in that race.

So we have two extraordinary athletes who could meddle.

Well, firstly, the Commonwealth Games gold medal uh is nothing by comparison in terms of the depth of the field and what she'll face here.

But she was, you know, a comfortable winner of that gold medal.

It was a very bad first day in Glasgow, weather-wise, so this the shot putt that she had that involved the the shot slipping in her hand, so it was a very poor event for her.

But the other six events were good.

The information I have is that she is in probably Irish record shape.

And if she is an Irish record shape, she has a chance of the gold medal.

But the competition is very, very strong as well.

You have the world indoor champion Sophie Docker of the Netherlands.

You have Annie Callen who has twice had a mark this year of 6,800 points, which is beyond what Kate has ever done before.

And you also have Olympic medalist Emma Oosterbegel from the Netherlands.

So there's like four of them going into three medals.

And seven events, anything can happen.

You can have one bad event and one athlete can, you know, can who's been a favorite going into the event, can suddenly not be uh contender.
