🔥Ciara Mageean doesn’t stop🔥
Another sensational run from Ciara tonight in the Diamond League..storming her way to first place and smashing the Irish Record
A great role model for our young girls to look up to and also to so many young aspiring sports women across Ireland.
UNBELIEVABLE!!
Can't believe what we just watched. Ciara Mageean. That was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. 🤩🇮🇪
The Portaferry star has set a new record in the 1500M with a time of 3:56:63. She smashes the Irish record held by Sonia O'Sullivan for 27 years!
Take a bow you CHAMPION!

You did Portaferry and Ireland proud tonight.
Ciara Mageean. What a role model.
A star on and off the track. Speaking to Athletics Ireland after her 4th place finish at the Worlds, she was disapointed not to medal & raise the Irish flag which she treasures so much but was proud fo what she had acheived.
Legend. 🇮🇪
