About this episode
Ireland's European heptathlon CHAMPION Kate O’Connor joins Off The Ball Breakfast's Colm Boohig & Dara Smith-Naughton as the gold medal glow finally starts to sink in — and she brings us right inside those two gruelling days.
Kate talks through the nerves before the hurdles, the pressure of a third-attempt high jump, and the sheer relief of getting through the 800m with a title on the line.
She also reflects on the Irish crowd roaring her home, training full-time between Belfast and Dundalk, and what it’ll take to push on towards Worlds and LA 2028...
Plus: her favourite events, her Jessica Ennis-Hill eureka moment, and that post-win double burger!
