Rhys McClenaghan vows to be 'even more prepared' for 2021 Olympics

The 20-year old Down native who will compete on the pommel horse at the Olympics, an event for which he is the current European champion, is relieved that the uncertainty which hung over the Games in recent weeks has been put to bed once and for all.

One of Ireland’s Olympic medal favourites, Rhys McClenaghan, says the postponement of the Tokyo Games will leave him even more prepared in his bid for gold.

The world bronze medal gymnast has this afternoon welcomed the IOC decision to defer the Tokyo Games until next year.
