Longford's Cian McPhillips has set yet another national record at Tokyo's Outdoor World Athletics Championships.
The Ardagh athlete came fourth after fast finish in the 800m final at a new Irish record of 1:42.15.
It follows his record-breaking performance during Thursday's semi-final, qualifying at 1:42:18.
Local TD Micheál Carrigy was watching his performance at a live screening in Longford AC.
He says Cian has been a huge inspiration for all the young people watching:
While Kate O'Connor has secured her silver medal in the heptathlon on the penultimate night of the World Championships in Tokyo, securing her place in Irish athletics history.
O'Connor is the first Irish individual to medal in a multi-discipline sport and only the sixth Irish athlete to medal at the worlds.
