Nick Griggs produced a hugely impressive finish to win a silver medal in the men's under-23 race at the European Cross Country Championships in Turkey.
But while Griggs stumbled late in Italy two years ago, he defied fatigue in a stirring finish in Antalya on Sunday morning to clock 18:28. "Everyone wants to go out and win gold, I'm the nearly man at these championships," Griggs told Athletics Ireland. "I left it all out there. Fair play to Will, he put together a great race. When I got really close to him, I saw him look and he did put a surge in so he probably had a bit more left than I did. The best man won on the day.
