Griggs secures silver medal at European Under-23s

Nick Griggs has picked up a silver medal in the men's 5,000m at the European Under-23 Championships in Bergen, Norway. The 20-year-old Irish athlete clocked a time of 13:45.80 in finishing second to Niels Laros of the Netherlands (13:44.74) in Saturday's final. Great Britain's Will Barnicoat was third in 13;46.11. Griggs, from county Tyrone, has previously medalled at the European Under-20 Championships, bursting into the public consciousness by winning gold in the 3000m in Tallinn in 2021 as a 16-year-old and silver over the same distance in Jerusalem two years later. The Candour Track Club runner collected a superb silver medal in the under-23 race at the European Cross Country Championships in Antalya in December but his efforts were subsequently severely hampered by illness as he missed out on the indoor season. Prior to that, the outstanding young talent clocked huge personal bests at 3,000m and 5,000m last summer, in addition to bettering his 1500m time. Griggs is a three-time European Cross Country individual medallist.
