Co-Vid19 restrictions mean Patsy McGonagle can’t attend the National Senior Championships today

Patsy McGonagle might be ‘Mr Athletics’ both here in Donegal and further afield but he’s on the outside looking in with a world champion today.

McGonagle was Irish team manager for four Olympic Games, six World Championships and six European Championships in a glittering career for the Finn Valley AC stalwart. In his time in charge, Ireland came home with two Olympic medals, nine World medals and 27 European medals.

However, the Co-Vid19 restrictions mean McGonagle  can’t attend the National Senior Championships at Morton Stadium in Santry this weekend, so instead he’s having to make do with a peak through the fence alongside Rob Heffernan – the Cork native who was world champion in the 50k race-walk in Moscow in 2013, a year after his bronze medal at the Olympics in London.
