NATALYA COYLE’S PLACE at the 2016 Rio Olympics has been confirmed, Pentathlon Ireland announced today.
Reacting to the news, the modern penathlete wrote on Twitter: “It’s official!! I’ve qualified for the Olympics!! Over the moon.”
It’s been an excellent year already for Coyle who, along with fellow Irish star Arthur Lanigan O’Keeffe, put in a brilliant performance to claim mixed relay gold at the Modern Pentathlon World Cup in Florida last month.
The 25-year-old previously competed at the London 2012 Olympics, where she put in an impressive performance to finish in ninth place.
