IRELAND'S EAMONN COGHLAN SALUTES THE CROWD AFTER WINNING THE 5,000 METRE GOLD MEDAL AT THE WORLD ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS AT HELSINKI. “I noted that, never said a word to anybody, and the night before the Olympic final what does Eamonn Coghlan do? Why would you do something like that for the first time the night before the (Olympic) final? “(Overall in my career) I beat John Walker a lot more than John beat me - but he beat me at the right time. Which is exactly what Eamonn Coghlan did as world indoor records and a world 5,000m title were to follow.
