Many of those teams made the most of their racing

President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to former Olympian and athletics commentator Jerry Kiernan following his death.
The 67-year-old represented Ireland at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, placing ninth in the men’s marathon.
Kiernan went on to train many of Ireland’s top athletics talents, including middle-distance runners John Travers and Ciara Mageean.
