Ruby Millet and Saragh Buggy both put in strong performances in the green vest for Ireland in Poland.

"It was such a nice day and the main thing is staying cool out there. The competition goes on for a while but it’s great to be under pressure, it’s a privilege. It’s great to be part of the team, I love the atmosphere. It’s such a big team effort in very way. It’s a big change because everything in athletics is you, you, you.", Millet said after her first-place finish.
