Ciara Mageean is aiming for gold when she runs in the 1,500 metres final at the European Championships on Friday evening.
The Co Down native secured her place in the final after coming second in Tuesday's semi-finals.
Having led at halfway, she was able to ease up towards the end as she was assured of a top four placing and therefore automatic progression.
Despite that, it was still a season's-best time of 4:03.03 for Mageean.
It continues a rich vein of form for her on the back of her silver medal over the same distance at the Commonwealth Games.
The 1,500 metres final is scheduled to start at 7.45pm Irish time on Friday.
And Mageean is confident that she can win gold.
She told reporters in Munich ahead of the race: "I believe I’m one of the best athletes in that field and I’m going to go out and prove it.
"You put yourself up there and if you don’t get gold, hopefully it’s silver, and if you don’t get silver hopefully it’s bronze."
