Cian McPhillips making a semi is a phenomenal achievement no matter what happens from here it pushes Ireland's performance as a team well into the Black.

Yeah I was thinking that - a good few of the team are punching above their rankings.

• McCormack
• McPhillips
• Coscoran
• O'Sullivan
• Lynch (arguably)

and Gidey did OK too.

...with more to come

She'll be disappointed with that. Went faster In her heat and faded badly

Hellivah statement from Syd thats an AR..Naser looks lethal

Bukowiecka is rounding into form at the right time

Paulinho let up and cost herself in the lame draw

Happy for Jager 1/100th between her and Weil for the last q

The final is going to be off the charts - both Sydney and Nasser capable of a serious time. Is the 40-yr old 47.6 finally about to go?

It's interesting - look at the inprovement Rhasidat Adeleke would have had to make to even come fourth again this year - she is at least 3 seconds off of this ATM.
