KATIE KIRK had not yet transferred her allegiance from Team GB to Ireland, although she is certainly considering it. Kirk won the national 800m at Santry last July. While the women’s 800m in GB is very strong, that may be a good reason for an athlete of Kirk’s talent staying put. Here’s what she said four days ago through the medium of Twitter: “Just to clarify: considering and no documents signed yet” . We’d love to have her of course!
