IN a pre-coronavirus world, I would have been looking forward to driving out to the Sport Ireland Campus in Abbotstown, Co Dublin, to meet Natalya Coyle and Arthur Lanigan O’Keeffe in their natural habitat, given that it is where they normally spend six intense days a week training.

But instead, we connected for this interview through the new ‘normal’ medium of a Zoom video call, where the newly-engaged modern pentathlon couple spoke from the comfort of their home, with their very cute dachshund Hansel taking front and centre on the couch.
