Hot off the press - Bronze medal for John Cormican in the Long Jump.
John pulled a muslce in the Long Jump, which caused him to miss the 200m today, but he says it was worth it. "It's great to win a medal in the Long Jump. It was a close-run thing for Silver, but I'm delighted to get Bronze," he said. You can follow the athletes’ progress on www.transplantteamireland.com.
