Carlow’s Marcus Lawler runs season’s best but misses out on semi final place in the Olympics 200 metres

Marcus Lawler (Athletics Ireland)

Carlow’s Marcus Lawler missed out on a place in the fastest qualifier spots at the Tokyo Olympics this morning.

The local man was in action in the 200 metres heats.

He did run a season’s best time of 20.73 on what was his Olympic debut.

Lawler put in a strong bend and closed well on the athletes in front on the home straight to give himself an outside shot of qualification.

“I knew that was going to require a 20.5, and I’m capable of 20.5 but it was just shy of that,” said Lawler of his qualification chances.

Speaking of his approach to the Games he added: “I’ve enjoyed every last minute of it and that’s what I really wanted to do. Come out and enjoy it, relax, and run free without being tense and hopefully, I achieved that.”
