What you might have missed yesterday

Kate O’Connor had a mixed opening morning in the heptathlon at the Stade de France, the Dundalk athlete well off her best in the 100m hurdles but bouncing back brilliantly with a season’s best in the high jump.

Kellie Harrington has said she is "done and dusted" with boxing after she secured her second Olympic gold medal in Paris.

Harrington, a native of Portland Row in Dublin, became only the fourth Irish athlete to retain an Olympic title when she defeated Wenlu Yang of China on Tuesday night in Roland Garros. In the immediate aftermath of the fight, she said that the fight was "the last one."

Ireland's Olympians will be honoured at a special homecoming in Dublin on Monday afternoon.

Gold medalists Kellie Harrington, Daniel Wiffen, Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy, Rhys McClenaghan and Co. will be welcomed home at the GPO on O'Connell Street at 12.30pm.

Who else is making headlines

On Thursday afternoon, in the Parisian commune of Le Bourget, thousands of people spilled into the Site d’Escalade to witness the world’s best go for gold in the speed version of sport climbing. This is basically a series of races between two men or women up a pair of identical 15-metre high walls rigged with protrusions. And they do it at breakneck speed.
