Ciara Mageean has won a silver medal for Ireland by finishing in second place 1500m final at the European Championships in Munich this evening.
The 30 year-old turned in an unbelievable performance, clocking in at a time of 4:02.56 on her way to picking up Ireland's first medal of the track and field tournament.
The County Down native, who won silver at the Commonwealth Games just a couple of weeks ago, was aggressive right from the off and set the pace for the first three laps. Mageean has battled nerves on the biggest stages in the past, but she was a picture of serenity as she quickly found her stride and took command of the race.
