In a report by BBC News, Ciara Mageean, a runner from Portaferry who won a European title and twice represented Ireland at the Olympics, has died aged 34.
The Guardian, in a report credited to Press Association, said Mageean, Ireland's European 1500 metres gold medallist, died at the age of 34. The paper described her as a two-time Olympian who won the European title in Rome in 2024. The Guardian's report is available at The Guardian.
According to The Guardian, Mageean announced last year that she had been diagnosed with bowel cancer. The summaries available for this story do not state whether her death was related to that illness.
The Guardian also said a statement was posted on Mageean's Instagram account on Sunday. The summary of that report was cut off before the full text of the statement, so this story does not describe its contents.
According to The Guardian, Athletics Ireland paid tribute to Mageean as an "inspirational figure."
BBC News and The Guardian both reported Mageean's age as 34. Both described her Olympic career in similar terms, with BBC News saying she represented Ireland twice at the Olympics and The Guardian calling her a two-time Olympian.
