Dundalk's Kate O'Connor became the first Irish person to medal in the heptathlon at any level on Friday when claiming silver at the European U20 Athletics Championships in Sweden.
The 18-year-old was third entering the final event, the 800m, and battled in the rain to take third in the race, behind winning Spaniard Maria Vicente.

In April, she set a new national record at the IAAF Combined Events Challenge in Italy.
