Remarkable story at the Dublin Marathon where 19-year-old Ava Crean from Limerick takes the women's national title in 2:34:12, a 9-minute PB - 6th overall. Crean had never run competitively before signing up for the Manchester Marathon in April - listing her target time as 3:30.

For the record the OlyMadMen is made up of Olympic experts from the USA, Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Estonia, Russia, Austria, Hungary and Australia
We have some good news. My team, which we call the OlyMADMen, has produced and updated the website on Olympic history and statistics - https://t.co/8XllsRYc9O. This was purchased by the IOC in 2016 but has not been updated since December 2023 when the IOC ended our contract.
