Donegal's English in Ireland team for Indoor Euros

Donegal's Mark English has been named in a 16-strong Ireland team for next week's European Indoor Athletics Championships in Istanbul.

English will be one of two Irish athletes running in the men's 800 metres - Kildare's John Fitzsimmons is the other.

The Letterkenny man is already a two-time medallist  at the European Indoors, and also won a second European outdoor bronze medal at last summer's championships in Munich.

English has been in very good form in the 800m recently, having regained the Irish indoor 800m title in Dublin last weekend - and he also won a World Indoor Tour Gold meet race in Madrid on Wednesday evening.

The Ireland team will be without  Ciara Mageean and Sarah Healy who are both injured.

Rhasidat Adeleke is remaining in the US, where the NCAA championships are her main focus.

New men's Irish 60m record holder Israel Olatunde will be Turkey competing.

The European Indoor Athletics Championships take place in Istanbul from March 2-5th.
