Individual events at the 2023 European Games As a participant in the Team event, each nation, including Ireland, automatically enters one athlete in each of the individual 'events'. Medals are awarded at the conclusion of the First Division program. The 'Match position' table notes where the athlete finished in their division, the 'Overall ranking' where they finished across three divisions; the individual European Games medals will be decided by the overall ranking. +EventMale AthleteScoreMatch positionOverall rankingFemale athleteScoreMatch positionOverall ranking100 mIsrael Olatunde10.37213Lauren Roy11.823200 mMark Smyth20.6616Phil Healy23.792400 mJack Raftery46.76323Sharlene Mawdsley51.551800 mRocco Zaman-Browne1:50.16325Louise Shanahan2:03.3911500 mCathal Doyle3:43.36218Sophie O'Sullivan4:27.9615000 mFearghal Curtin14:17.64327Aoibhe Richardson16:45.023110/100 m hJames Ezeonu14.31124Sarah Lavin12.821400m hThomas Barr49.4115Kelly McGrory58.0823000m SCFinley Daly8:51.14216Ava O'Connor10:18.1034x100 mIsrael OlatundeMark SmythChristopher SibandaJoseph Ojewumi39.571Sarah LeahyMollie O'ReillyJoan HealyAdeyemi Talabi44.8024x400 m(mixed) colspan="3" Thomas BarrJack RafteryCallum BairdPhil HealySharlene MawdsleyKelly McGroryRoisin Harrison3:17.161 ELShot putEric Favors20.281Michaela Walsh15.262JavelinConor Cusack63.953Grace Casey42.045HammerSean Mockler63.831Nicola Tuthill67.85 NU23R2DiscusColin Quirke52.415Niamh Fogerty51.244Pole vaultMichael Bowler4.30433Ellie McCartney4.301High jumpDavid Cussen2.11116Sommer Lecky1.743Triple JumpJai Benson14.84728Saragh Buggy13.013Long JumpReece AdemolaNM - -Ruby Millet6.331
