"You see your son run in an Olympic final and he does that, incredible."
JOE caught up with the parents of Thomas Barr - Tommy and Martina Barr - immediately after they had watched their son set a new Irish record and finish fourth in the final of the men's 400m hurdles at the Rio Olympic Games. "As my eldest daughter always says, 'he's a freak of nature!'" beamed Thomas' proud father. "Look at the times that that race was run in," added Martina. "We're so excited!" https://twitter.com/JOEdotie/status/766297872753102849Explore more on these topics:
