ANDREW COSCORAN SMASHED the Irish indoor 5000m record overnight Stateside.
The 27-year-old Dubliner clocked a time of 13.12.56 to finish seventh at the BU John Thomas Terrier Classic in Boston.
South Africa’s Adriaan Wildschutt won it out 12.56.76.
Coscoran, who runs for Star of the Sea AC, shaved four seconds off the previous record that his training partner Brian Fay held.
Fay, who set that mark in Boston in December 2022, finished 10th in the same race with a time of 13.17.21.
Coscoran, coached by Feidhlim Kelly, broke the Irish 1500m indoor and outdoor records last year, and he has opened 2024 on a promising note.
Meanwhile, Eric Favors furthered his own Irish Indoor Shot Put record in Astana this morning.
He threw a best of 20.18m as he finished third overall at the World Indoor Tour, adding two centimetres to his previous record set in February 2023.
Sarah Lavin ran new personal bests in both the semi-final and final as she finished third in the 60m Hurdles in the capital of Kazakstan.
The Limerick woman clocked 7.93 in the semi-final, improving her personal best by 0.01 second, before taking another 0.02 second off that in the final as she crossed the line in 7.91. Lavin edges ever closer to Derval O’Rourke’s national record of 7.84 from 2006.
Sophie Becker was third in the 400m in 53.19.
Scousers don’t care about this game. More interested in Utd losing to Spurs.
@Olllie B: No not really you don’t have to be from Liverpool to be scouser. Northern Europe sailors brought a stew recipe to ports in England but mostly Liverpool. The dish was called Lobscouse. Those people in Liverpool who ate it were called Scousers.
Huddersfield fans out in force I see… who knew?
Come on Huddersfield
Well its Huddersfield for me…
If Klopp loses this…he’ll have to walk alone !!
@dannyboy: never!!
@Joe Kennedy: tbf Klopp is a joke at this stage.
But but but No Coutinho??? Ahhhh sure the January transfer window is nearly upon us so his back is probably playing up again
@powerfix: numbskull
If that defence is correct, I give up.
Im not even sure Lovren shagging Klopps missus would put him out of the team, Might be his downfall.
So Lovern’s punishment for being absolutely useless last week and costing his team 2 goals is to be rewarded with another start? The mind boggles
@Brian O’Loughlin: its common knowledge amongst real pool fans that lovern’s Mrs ran off another guy. So idiots here should really give him a break.
$hit happens to everyone from every walk of life. If things happen in your personal life that effect your performance or prevent you from doing your job properly you shouldn’t be there. Would you want a depressed pilot flying your plane? How is putting him in the firing line supposed to help him anyway? If anything it will make him worse
@Mr Nimziki: oh lord. You drop him till his heads right ffs.
@Nial D: so kick a man when he’s down is the answer
Klopp took off Lovren after 30 mins last week but now he’s starting again wttttfff
Sacked by your best man…,you’re getting sacked by your best man … sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnn ..you’re getting sacked by your besssst mannnnnnnnn….
@powerfix: nitwit
@powerfix: Jeez. My 12yr old has more imagination, and he’s far less childish than that. I’d say your parents are very proud.
If we don’t win kiss top 4 goodbye YNWA
@Ollie Watson: that ship sailed ages ago dude. Ye will be lucky to nick Thursday night ball next season.
Well wagner said he best friends with klippty that goal proved it
Is Coutinho dropped?
@Nollaig Elliot: “injured”
Time to get a run going after some recent blips
Glad for Sturidge to score his first goal in two months great player
