Ballyhar athlete on cusp of Olympic Games selection
By Sean Moriarty
Ballyhar athlete David Kenny is on the brink of being selected for the Irish Olympics team for the Tokyo summer games.
The team is due to be announced next week and Kenny has already set a qualification time in Race-Walking.
The National Race-Walking championships took place in Tuam, County Galway two weeks ago and Kenny set a time of 1:28:03 for the Men’s National 20k Walk, to become national champion in the discipline.
The Farranfore Maine Valley AC member finished ahead of Brendan Boyce who represented Ireland in 2012 London Olympics.
While Kenny’s selection is not certain it is very unlikely that he won’t make the team which will be announced Monday or Tuesday next week.
He will follow in the footsteps of Glenflesk’s Gillian O’Sullivan who placed 10th in the race-walk in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
Kenny is currently in Estonia contesting the Under 23 European Athletics Championships.
