Phil Healy
Philomena Healy (born 19 November 1994) is an Irish athlete competing in sprinting events. From Ballineen in County Cork, her sister Joan Healy is also a sprinter.
A member of Bandon Athletics Club, Healy reportedly "began to fully focus on [athletics]" as a teenager. A video of Phil Healy winning the final leg of the 4 x 400 metre Irish University Championships in 2016 went viral around the world. Her winning run has been described as one of the best athletics comebacks of all time. As she turns into the homestretch, having closed much of an 80-metre gap with the lead runners, the commentator is heard to shout "UCC from the depths of hell are powering through".
She set an Irish 200m national record in July 2018. In the 2018 European Championships, she placed fourth with a time of 23.23.
In a team which included Rhasidat Adeleke, Sophie Becker and Sharlene Mawdsley, Healy won a silver medal in the 4 × 400 metres relay at the 2024 European Championships. Healy was also a member of the Irish team that came fourth in the 4 × 400 metres event at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Healy announced her retirement from international athletics in June 2026.
