Natalya Coyle: Olympics a beacon of hope in uncertain times for Irish pentathlete

#OlympicGames [BBC]Irish modern pentathlete Natalya Coyle says having "that goal of Tokyo" is helping her stay motivated during the Covid-19 pandemic.

[olympictickets]

Olympic Modern Pentathlon: Natalya Coyle and Sive Brassil move a step closer to qualify

There were eight places on offer for Tokyo Olympic next summer and Coyle placed fourth among those eligible for Olympic 2020 Games qualification, crossing the line 14 seconds ahead of the top-ranked unsuccessful qualifier in 14th. Then the horse riding went actually well and I just gave it everything in the Laser-Run. I cannot describe how happy I am.

Olympic fans from all over the world are invited to book Olympic 2020 tickets from our online platforms for Olympic Tickets. Olympic Modern Pentathlon fans can book Olympic Modern Pentathlon Tickets from our ticketing marketplace exclusively on discounted prices.                                       

"I’m over the moon," said Coyle. "The day pass away so well even though I was really nervous about qualification. I was a little rocky at the start of fencing but pulled it back in the middle.

Coyle had started the conclusive Laser-Run occasion in 4th place, only 11 seconds behind the leader and effectively third in the race for Tokyo Olympic as there were two Belarus athletes ahead of her. Natalya Coyle is within moving distance of her third Tokyo Olympic after qualifying for the women's specific final at the European Modern Pentathlon Championships in Bath, England.

The two-time Olympian will be accompanied in the women’s final by team-mate Sive Brassil, meaning Ireland still has three athletes in with a chance of securing their Tokyo Olympic tickets. Coyle, who ended in the top 10 in London 2012 and Rio 2016, and Brassil will contest for one of eight women’s Tokyo Olympic qualification places.

The 3rd Irish athlete, Eilidh Prise, clear-fell short of the qualifying threshold with 982 points and won’t take part in the final of this year’s central showpiece, having ended 11th in 2018. Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe takes part in the men’s individual final tomorrow with the aim of also securing one of eight available places at Tokyo Olympic.

Predictions for the WWE Survivor Series card

We're one month away from Survivor Series and while there is still one pay-per-view, TLC, standing in the way, it's time to start figuring out how the brands will combine and compete on one of the biggest nights of the WWE calendar.

The staff members of WWE on ESPN each has their own thoughts about how they think Survivor Series might play out, and in that spirit, each offers up a prediction for the card.

Sheamus, Cesaro, Braun Strowman and The Miz, along with recently announced partner Kane, will take on Kurt Angle, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose at TLC. But could that partnership last beyond Sunday night, all the way to Survivor Series against The Shield? Courtesy of WWE Andrew Feldman: An all-Raw battle main event featuring nearly all of Raw's biggest stars

The Miz has become quite the vehicle for storylines on Raw. His efforts in pulling all the pieces together and getting The Shield to reunite created one of the most memorable moments we've seen in 2017. The first piece of this prediction is that The Shield goes down at TLC, and the way things often play out, these two factions are far from done. The challenge in this case would be to find someone to pair back up with The Shield to make it a 5-on-5 and the options are really limited.

While there might be an argument for Matt Hardy, Jason Jordan, Apollo Crews or Titus O'Neil, I'm putting Finn Balor and John Cena into the mix. Balor, who hopefully will end this saga with Bray Wyatt at TLC, is ready to once again be elevated to main event status. His character right now is a bit ... weird ... and could use a more dynamic match to get him back into the Universal or Intercontinental championship conversation.

Then there's Cena, who is currently on hiatus after his match with Roman Reigns at No Mercy. The two have newly found respect and Cena coming to join this team seems like a place he'd fit in. If Cena is still out of the picture, maybe they bring in the shunned Curtis Axel (to be pinned first) in his attempt at revenge for The Miz slighting him in the faction. Brock Lesnar might also be considered, but some pairing with Jinder Mahal seems likely after Tuesday's edition of SmackDown Live.

It's a stretch, but that's why I'm going Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Balor and Cena against The Miz, The Bar, Braun Strowman and Kane.

Greg Wyshynski: Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles and Shane McMahon

Look, I know the dirt sheets are all pointing toward this being a traditional Survivor Series match. That makes sense, if only because it'll give some random like Mojo Rawley a spot on the card as face team cannon fodder. But I say cut the fat -- as much as one can with Shane these days -- and make what would be the final four in a 10-man match into a traditional tag match. Gimmick it up as a blow-off to the feud. And by that I mean have a Chris Jericho run-in to put Shane over Owens.

There's already plenty of recent history between Shane McMahon, Kevin Owens and AJ Styles, so it wouldn't be too big a leap to add Sami Zayn into the equation for a big match at Survivor Series. Provided by WWE (@WWE) Tim Fiorvanti: Carmella becomes the new SmackDown women's champion

With several 5-on-5 or 4-on-4 matches sure to be in play, some people are going to let their guard down about the potential of a Money in the Bank cash-in. At the conclusion of the women's match, with Charlotte Flair and Natalya as the "sole survivors" for Team SmackDown, there's a fracas and Natalya is left prone. Carmella blindsides everyone and cashes in her briefcase, becoming the new SmackDown women's champion. James Ellsworth keeps Flair out of play for just long enough so that Carmella can pick up the pin.

Things get complicated when you consider that the WWE's show the following week in North Carolina, a live event that has been branded as Starrcade with a double main event including a SmackDown women's title match inside of a steel cage. A triple threat could work, but the details can shake themselves out in the lead-up to that moment.

Michael Wonsover: Raw does not go against Smackdown Live in a 5-on-5 tag match

Every year by the time Survivor Series rolls around fans begin to fantasy book the potential combinations of participants in the annual 5-on-5 tag-team elimination match. Last year, SmackDown Live defeated Raw for bragging rights, if nothing else, but the match felt important. That won't be the case if the best five wrestlers on Raw go against the best five on SmackDown every year. Even more so when the authority figures of both brands (Kurt Angle, Shane McMahon/Daniel Bryan) are babyfaces, making it difficult to build a meaningful conflict as Survivor Series quickly approaches.

The Shield reunion gives Raw an in-house conflict that supersedes anything outside the confines of Monday night. The same can be said for the duo of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on SD Live. Expect the Shield and Owens/Zayn to be included in separate 5-on-5 tag matches with participants from their own shows.

After a record-setting NXT women's championship run and winning streak, will Asuka take over the Raw women's division in a hurry? Courtesy @WWENXT Sean Coyle: Asuka will become the Raw women's champion

Asuka will be making her anticipated main roster debut at TLC this weekend against Emma while the Raw Women's championship will be defended when Mickie James challenges Alexa Bliss. A successful debut match by Asuka would immediately put her in the championship hunt and just in time for one of the biggest pay-per-view events of the year.

Whether it's in a one-on-one scenario or a multi-superstar format, look for Asuka to be in a Raw women's championship match at Survivor Series across the ring from either Bliss or James. Not only will she be in the match, but she'll end the night right where she left off in NXT, with a championship around her waist and the division revolving around her.

Matt Willis: The "screwjob" revisited in the form of a great swerve

This is the 20-year anniversary of the Montreal Screwjob, one of the most controversial, and well-known, moments in pro wrestling history. I predict the WWE will attempt to re-capture some of that magic with another "screwjob," but the question is, where?

It seems too soon to turn The Shield against each other ... again ... but how about a swerve in the Kevin Owens/Shane McMahon storyline?

In a matchup pitting the team of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn against Shane McMahon and a mystery partner (AJ Styles?), Triple H emerges, appearing trying to avenge Owens' attack on his father-in-law, but backs Owens, completing the storyline from when Triple H helped Owens capture the Universal Title. The end result? Triple H and Shane McMahon at WrestleMania for control of SmackDown Live.

Matt Wilansky: The New Day and The Usos vs. The Bar, Samoa Joe and Kane

We've already seen The New Day and The Usos call somewhat of a truce in their high-flying summer feud. Now they'll team up.

That's right, the two most explosive SmackDown squads will look to tag each other against a formidable foursome of Monday Night Raw. That quartet? With The Shield likely tied up in something worthy of a main event, The Bar will be free to join a soon-to-return Samoa Joe and Kane, who himself just made a surprising return to Raw.

As of now, Joe has no direction given his lengthy absence, and all indications are he won't have a credible storyline anytime soon, not before Survivor Series anyway. Kane seems like a natural fit to this team, given his size and big-match pedigree. Sure, he has been more or less an afterthought, but the ostensible new direction is one with a little more clout, assuming he's going to stick around for at least a couple of months.

Look for the blue brand to walk away with a win. Hard to imagine two true tag teams falling to the makeshift group of Raw.

"Stat Guy" Greg Hyde: Dean Ambrose puts The Shield's reunion on ice

On Oct. 9, The Shield officially reunited on Monday Night Raw, and while I understand that it may seem like its early for a break up, I am expecting the Lunatic Fringe to stab his Shield brethren in the back. Historically, Survivor Series is the PPV that is used to set up feuds for the next WrestleMania -- and with this in mind, I am expecting The Shield's reunion to come to an abrupt end. If that doesn't convince you, consider this: it is not outside of the realm of possibility for WWE to bring back a popular faction for a short-lived reunion. In April 2014, Evolution reunited to take on The Shield. Two months later, the group disbanded. In February 2002, WWE brought in original nWo members Hogan, Hall and Nash, yet one month later they split as well. On July 22, 2002 Triple H and Shawn Micheals reunited as DX and they split by the end of the night. In each instance, WWE made and sold merchandise to mark the occasion, so get your Shield shirts while you can because I expect this reunion to be short-lived as well.

Andrew Davis: Raw's women's division versus SmackDown's women's division

The women's division has a number of different layers and storylines that could potentially play out in a traditional Survivor Series match. Although this matchup is very similar to last year's (trade Alexa for Charlotte) and the addition of Asuka over Alicia Fox, all 10 superstars in the match have something that needs to evolve before WrestleMania.

Here are the potential scenarios for each of the 10 women in this match. Team Raw:

Nia Jax: This match will see her dominance overshadowed by Asuka, setting up a future match over jealousy.

Sasha Banks: Will she turn heel? Not here, but a Bayley miscue eliminates "The Boss," similar to the Owen Hart elimination in 1993.

Bayley: See above, Bayley gets eliminated when she's worrying about her friend.

Asuka: Sole survivor of the match, her dominant reign continues. It's possible she eliminates all her opponents to build "The Empress of Tomorrow."

Alexa Bliss: "Little Miss Bliss" tries to put Asuka in her place, only to sneakily get pinned by Charlotte.

Team SmackDown:

Becky Lynch: A brawl will start the match, leading to everyone on the outside while the Four Horsewomen pose inside the ring to plant the seeds for Rousey & Co. come WrestleMania.

Naomi: Lana and Tamina, upset that they aren't part of Team Smackdown, pull Naomi to the outside and take her out, resulting in a countout elimination. Remember, Naomi and Tamina are family.

Carmella: The seeds get planted for Ms. Money in the Bank to cash-in that briefcase on Charlotte at Starrcade.

Charlotte: Survives until the end, but James Ellsworth distracts "The Queen" after Carmella's elimination, leading to the final pinfall.

Natalya: The Smackdown women's champion moves from coach to captain this year, but is pinned by fellow champion Bliss midway through the match.

Nick Irving: Team Enzo vs. Team Kalisto

Survivor Series will feature the WWE's cruiserweight division in a 7-vs.-7 showdown, following Kalisto's title defense against Enzo Amore at TLC. Team Enzo (Amore, Ariya Daivari, Drew Gulak, Noam Dar, Tony Nese, The Brian Kendrick and Jack Gallagher) will take on Team Kalisto (Kalisto, Cedric Alexander, Rich Swann, Mustafa Ali, Akira Tozawa, TJP and Lince Dorado) -- putting essentially the entire 205 Live roster into what's sure to be a high-flying match.

Terrance Williams: Expect a traditional 5-on-5 at Survivor Series

The Survivor Series main event will be Team Raw vs. Team Smackdown Live in a traditional Survivor Series elimination match.

Team Raw will be composed of Braun Strowman, The Miz and the Shield. Team Smackdown Live will be AJ Styles, Jinder Mahal, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. The finish will have Jinder walking out on AJ, leaving him to face all three members of The Shield by himself. AJ will fight valiantly but will eventually be overcome by the group. The bad blood will set up AJ vs Jinder for the WWE championship at the Royal Rumble. Book it.

Sachin Chandan: Jinder Mania runs wild, and other thoughts

Survivor Series should be WWE's battle of the brands, headlined by Team Raw (Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, Finn Balor, Elias and a surprise return Samoa Joe) vs. Team Smackdown (Jinder Mahal, Randy Orton, Shinsuke Nakamura, Rusev, and AJ Styles). Balor accidentally takes out Lesnar outside, leading the Beast Incarnate to be counted out, but before he leaves he F-5s both Singh Brothers. The chaos ends with Jinder Mahal as the sole survivor, eliminating Samoa Joe. Jinder Mania has been running strong for months, why not keep it going? The undercard will feature The Shield vs. The New Day in a dream 6-man-tag, Kalisto vs. Enzo Amore vs. Ariya Daivari vs. Mustafa Ali for the cruiserweight championship, and Smackdown women (Natalya, Becky Lynch, Charlotte, Tamina, and Carmella) vs. Raw women (Alexa Bliss, Asuka, Bayley, Sasha Banks, and Emma) with Asuka as the sole survivor.

The duo of Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe and Natalya Coyle put in an excellent presentation to defend the title they claimed last year in Sarasota in the United States.

Hungary's Sarolta Kovacs and Gergely Demeter completed the opening 200 meters swim in the fastest time of 1min 56.8sec to sit ahead of Russia's Gulnaz Gubaydullina and Alexander Savkin and the Irish pair.

In the fencing, Lanigan-O'Keeffe and Coyle claimed 19 victories to top the pile and although they lost a bonus round bout to Egypt, they were able to take control of the competition once more in the riding.

A clear round confirmed they entered the laser-run with a strong lead of 23 seconds and they protected their benefit.  The Irish ended as winners with 1,499 points as France's Valentin Prades and Julie Belhamri took silver on 1,478. The Russian couple came home for bronze on 1,459.

"We were strong from start to finish and it was one of those days that you don't get very often in the pentathlon" said Lanigan-O'Keeffe.

It was a seriously good field and we performed well in all events so we are delighted. We had a great swim and then won the fencing, and the riding and laser-run went well so it was a perfect day - fantastic. It is a great feeling to be able to stand on top of the podium and hear the national anthem of Ireland.

It was an exciting completion to six days of top-quality pentathlon, and the bore of the ladies' field was underlined by the personality of the individuals who missed the mark regarding Olympic capability, including 2018 title holder Anastasiya Prokopenko (BLR) and Rio 2016 Olympic silver medalist Elodie Clouvel (FRA), who was driving until she was dispensed with in Riding. The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist, Oktawia Nowacka of Poland, completed fourteenth, one spot away from Tokyo capability.

Prasiantsova (BLR) stated: "I feel so upbeat since it's the first occasion when that I got the platform. Throughout the day I worked and attempted to remain certain and concentrated on my occasion.

"It was an intense race and I realized that before the Laser Run that Laura would continue forcing me, so I am glad to such an extent that I have third spot. I appreciated the entire day."

The European qualifiers join 10 competitors from North, South and Central America and two from Africa, just as the UIPM Pentathlon World Cup champs, on the rundown for Tokyo – as per the UIPM capability process. UIPM President Dr Klaus Schormann stated: "Another eight countries have verified Olympic capability puts after an exceptionally energizing Laser Run peak to the European Championship Women's Individual Final.

"A few competitors were unfortunate in the Riding, yet they comprehend what they need to do and where they turned out badly. Furthermore, again we saw Laura Asadauskaite show her mind blowing running and shooting capacity, originating from sixth to first.

"Congrats to every one of the competitors on their exhibitions – this is the main enormous advance to Tokyo and the subsequent one is the UIPM Pentathlon World Championships in Budapest. At that point one year from now we will have different potential outcomes.

Olympic Modern Pentathlon: Joe Choong won gold at the Modern Pentathlon in WC Final, securing an Olympics 2020 qualification spot

The 24-year-old currently had two silver decorations and a fifth-place finish in his three 2019 WC appearances. Partners Jamie Cooke and Tom Toolis completed eleventh and fourteenth in Saturday's men's final. Olympic fans from all over the world are invited to book Olympic 2020 tickets from our online platform for Olympic Tickets. Olympic Modern Pentathlon fans can book Olympic Modern Pentathlon tickets from our ticketing marketplace exclusively on discounted prices.

Friday's ladies' last observed Kate French completion eighth, with Jess Varley 27th and Francesca Summers 34th. The last was the fifth round of the World Cup arrangement, after stages in Egypt, Bulgaria, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.

It additionally served as an Olympic passing occasion just as the main authority test occasion for one year from now's Games - with the victors of the people's finals straightforwardly meeting all requirements for Olympic 2020.

English team Joanna Muir and Samuel Cook were not able to back up their blended hand-off triumph at the past World Cup Final in Prague in May, with the pair completing fourteenth in the Tokyo version of the occasion.

France's Elodie Clouvel and Valentin Prades won in Japan, in front of Ireland's Natalya Coyle and Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe in silver and Gintare Vitkauskaite and Justinas Kinderis of Lithuania took bronze.

Joseph Choong of Great Britain trembled off the orderly's tag to win an influenced gold award at the UIPM 2019 Modern Pentathlon World Cup Final and win an arrival outing to Tokyo 2020 Olympic one year from now.

A day after the ladies' gold award went to 35-year-old Laura Asadauskaite of Lithuania, it looked like experience would again be definitive as Alexander Lesun of Russia drove the path through the orders. All things considered, Lesun (RUS), who turns 31 on Monday, unhinged at the third shooting during the Laser-Run.

And still, at the end of the day, Choong (GBR) had more work to do as Marvin Dogue of Germany grabbed the lead toward the beginning of the last 800m lap. An exemplary duel followed, and Choong (GBR) had quite recently an excessive amount of vitality for Dogue (GER) in a retaliation of the emotional fight for silver between the two competitors in Prague (CZE).

Natalya Coyle Form 'Not Very Good' To One of Our Big Olympics Medal Hopes

The suggestion that she might have the day off is met with a headshake from Natalya Coyle. Between a morning run, a physio session and a 7pm training session, she has wedged in media duties - all done with a smile. Olympic Modern Pentathlon followers from all over the world can buy Olympic Modern Pentathlon tickets online.

"You can’t really afford to take any days off because they all add up in the long run," says Coyle, speaking at the announcement of global job site Indeed as an official partner to the Irish Olympic team.

The 28-year-old competes in that most Olympic 2020 of sports: modern pentathlon. Like handball and dressage, it enters the public consciousness once every four years with Stephen Alkin or Adrian Eames providing commentary and Peter Collins on the couch in Montrose reminding us how it works.

Before she can hop on that plane to Tokyo Olympic, she will have to qualify. The European Championships take place in August with the top eight in that competition securing their spot in Japan. There are also World Cup events. She won silver in Cairo earlier this year.

"That’s all I think about at the moment: qualifying for the Games," says the Meath native.

Other routes to the Olympics 2020 are available, like finishing in the top three at the World Championships or through the world rankings, but those would be circuitous compared to the Euros method.

For her first Olympic 2020 adventure in London, Coyle took the world rankings pathway - it was long and uncertain. Her road to Rio was also meandering. Certainty would make the next year far easier to plan. Training could be nailed down, as could the competitions she wants to enter.

Horse riding was Coyle's first foray into the non-running and swimming elements that populate pentathlon. She subsequently progressed to pony club triathlon which involves all except fencing.

"It was about making friends and going on these cool trips, says Coyle. I wasn’t good when I first started. I didn’t even make the Meath first team. Eventually, I started to train more and I won nationals. Then I added fencing into the elements. It just snowballed. If you’d told me back at 17, ‘you’re still going to be doing these ten years later’, I would have been a bit like, ‘Really, I’m not very good at it’.”

Though fencing was the final discipline which she picked up last, it has become one of her strengths. That's good considering its importance.

The sands of modern pentathlon are constantly shifting. At a congress once every four years a greater weight may be placed on one of the elements. Last year, running became more important and swimming less so. She now spends more time grinding out the miles and less in the pool.

If she does qualify for her third Olympic, there will be a different feeling this time around. She will go as one of Ireland's main medal hopes in Olympic 2020. That was not the case in other years. Learning’s from those previous experiences will aid that dream.

Success at an Olympics 2020 cannot simply be quantified as winning a medal. It needs a broader definition, one which can allow a competitor to hit peak performance - be the best that they can be - and find satisfaction in that place At London and Rio, Coyle set personal bests. If she does so again in Tokyo Olympic Games, a medal may follow.

Ireland’s Natalya Coyle books her place at Olympics 2020 Games

Natalya Coyle is heading to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic after accomplishing her mission at the European Modern Pentathlon Championships in Bath, England. With eight Olympic 2020 places on offer in the women’s final, the 28-year-old from Meath secured hers with something to spare to give herself a full 12 months to prepare for her third Games.  Olympic Modern Pentathlon followers from all over the world can buy Olympic Modern Pentathlon tickets online.

Coyle finished eighth on the day and fourth among those eligible for Olympic qualification, crossing the line 14 seconds ahead of the top-ranked unsuccessful qualifier in 14th. Ireland’s Sive Brassil also performed with distinction, finishing 16th.

After a solid day, Coyle had started the decisive Laser-Run the event in fourth place, only 11 seconds behind the leader and effectively third in the race for Tokyo 2020 Olympic as there were two Belarus athletes ahead of her, only one of whom could qualify.

At the end of a skillful presentation, she over behind fellow qualifiers Kate French, Iryna Prasiantsova and Annika Schley and ahead of Gintare Venckauskaite, Marie Oteiza, Adelina Ibatullina, and Sarolta Kovacs.

“I’m over the moon,” said Coyle. “The day went so well even though I was really nervous about the qualification. I was a little rocky at the start of fencing but pulled it back in the middle. Then the horse riding went really well and I just gave it everything in the Laser-Run. I knew I needed a solid run/shoot to finish it over. I can’t describe how happy I am.”

Given the caliber of the field in the nonappearance of injured Olympic champion Chloe Esposito of Australia, European women have totally conquered the 2019 UIPM season – today’s recital will go down as one of the highlights of Coyle’s career.

The London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympian recorded the 12th-fastest swimming time, 2min 16.99sec for her 200m freestyle, while Brassil ranked seven places higher after a swim of 2:13.66.

Coyle made her move up the leaderboard during the fencing, where she achieved 21 wins from her 35 bouts for a ranking of eighth that elevated her to sixth overall. Brassil’s prospects suffered a blow as she achieved the opposite score of 14 wins and 21 defeats.

When it came to the riding, Brassil escaped some of the major damage others were suffering but a score of 269 wasn’t quite the boost she would have been looking for in terms of the Tokyo Olympic Games qualification.

Coyle knew that even a respectable score would keep her in contention for that coveted Olympic 2020 place. She responded with one of the best rides of the day, dislodging only one obstacle for a score of 291 that briefly gave her the overall lead.

Only one athlete, Adelina Ibatullina of Russia, achieved a perfect score of 300 and there was a major upset when the final rider, Rio 2016 silver medallist Elodie Clouvel of France, suffered elimination, throwing open the race for gold and moving Coyle one place closer to the dream outcome.

Paddy Boyd, Pentathlon Ireland chief executive, said: “We are delighted that one of the automatic qualification slots for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games have been secured at an early opportunity. “We commend Natalya and her support side on this fine achievement, and we would also like to highlight a good performance by a promising young athlete, Sive Brassil.”

Twenty-one of the 36 berths in the women’s pentathlon in Tokyo is still up for grabs and the next opportunity for Brassil and team-mate Eilidh Prise will be the 2019 Pentathlon World Championships in Budapest, where three more places will be at stake. However, Arthur Lanigan-O’Keeffe has announced that his season is overdue to an Achilles injury.

The 27-year-old from Kilkenny finished 25th in the men’s final in Bath on Saturday and revealed on Twitter that he had been unable to train fully for some time due to the Achilles problem.

Tweeted: “I am heartbroken, to say the least, that I didn’t get an automatic Olympic 2020 qualification slot or even come close to replicating my winning performance from 4 years ago. Though, that being said I am still incredibly proud of what I achieved today. Not because I am content with mediocrity but because the real truth is I have been hiding an injury.”

Lanigan-O’Keeffe will still be able to qualify for the Olympics 2020 Games next year with ranking points on offer at a number of competitions in 2020.
