Ireland’s women will meet the Netherlands, Germany, Great Britain, India and South Africa in the group stages of the Olympic Games following confirmation of the final entrants on Saturday.

While Ireland’s men are still riding high on the back of Olympic qualification, the same can’t be said of South Africa.

South Africa’s athletics chief Leonard Chuene has been dismissed after being found guilty of financial corruption and mishandling the gender case of world 800 metres champion Caster Semenya.

Caster Semenya has received an unconditional apology from Athletics South Africa for their role in the row regarding the athlete's gender.
