Thomas Barr gets bumped during 400m men’s final

Jack O'Toole

European bronze medalist Thomas Barr was bumped out of the 400m final at the Irish Life Health National Indoor Championships in Abbotstown on Sunday.

Barr came back towards the starting blocks of the first lap during the final before he was bumped off his line by Andrew Mellon with runners free to change lanes during the race.

The incident was reviewed by judges at the venue but no action was taken with Cillin Greene setting a personal best  of 47.19 seconds to win the race and ultimately secure a spot at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow next month.

Elsewhere Phil Healy (Bandon) sped to a new championship best performance of 52.81 in the women’s 400m while Sophie Becker (St Joseph’s) produced another sub 54 second clocking in second with a time of 53.95 seconds that should also rubber stamp her selection on the Irish team.

Meanwhile Mark English (UCD) made it look easy to win his 6th national indoor 800m in 1:51.77 from Zak Curran (DSD) in second in 1:51.91.
