NEWLY elected Irish Amateur Boxing Association (IABA) President Pat Ryan believes that Ireland should aim for the top of the tree in world boxing.

THE tale of woe that has beset Irish race walkers continued in Athens yesterday when Olive Loughnane failed to finish the women’s 20km final.

ANDY LEE remained ice-cool yesterday in the face of mounting expectation as Ireland’s best medal shot.

BOXER Andy Lee, probably Ireland's biggest medal hope at the Olympic Games, may be granted a bye to the second round of the tournament.

It is still unclear exactly how many Irish people are missing in the World trade Centre rubble.
