Lynch runs sub-60-minute half marathon to finish fifth in New York
Peter Lynch has become the first Irishman in history to break 60 minutes for the half marathon, the Kilkenny athlete clocking 59:52 to finish fifth at the New York City Half Marathon on Sunday morning. Nonetheless, it marks a breakthrough performance by Lynch, whose previous best was the 1:01:15 he ran in Houston, Texas last year. Lynch set an Irish marathon record of 2:09:36 in Dusseldorf last year, a mark that was broken by Fearghal Curtin at the Gyeongju International Marathon in South Korea last October, the Youghal athlete clocking 2:07:54. Lynch will likely have that mark in his sights when he lines up at the London Marathon on April 26. Shauna Bocquet was also in action at the New York City Half Marathon, the 2024 Paralympian from Galway finishing third in the women’s wheelchair race in 1:02:59, with victory going to Britain’s Eden Rainbow-Cooper in 54:27.

Anthony Gordon hits back at 'complete NONSENSE' from Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney and tells them 'do better' - after pundits criticised his attitude over Barcelona benching
Anthony Gordon has hit out at Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer after they criticised his attitude during Newcastle's 1-1 draw against Barcelona on Tuesday. Rooney added: 'Eddie Howe said before the game he probably has 20 or 30 minutes in him. However, Gordon took issue with these comments and shed light on the situation, before accusing the pundits of spreading a false narrative. 'The team played great, but saying I didn't want to play in the biggest game of my career is absolute nonsense.'
