On what was hoped would have been Super Sunday for Team Ireland at the Olympics, it turned out to be a case of so near, but yet so far.

The team went into the day with medal hopes in boxing, golf, and gymnastics but in the end, those hopes were dashed. Nonetheless many of the Olympians still have time on their side —  and Paris 2024 isn’t far away.
