Your last Olympic fix: What and when to watch over the final weekend 

Ireland's Kelly McGrory, Phil Healy, Sophie Becker and Sharlene Mawdsley after qualifying in third place during the Women's 4 x 400m Relay Round 1 at the Stade de France on the fourteenth day of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games in France. Picture : Martin Rickett/PA Wire.

It is the final night of athletics at the Stade de France and how exciting to have Irish interest with the women's 4X400m relay team in action at approximately 8:14pm Irish time. 

Rhasidat Adeleke confirmed she will run for Ireland, despite the disappointment of fourth place in the 400m final Friday night.

Ireland are certainly underdogs going into the final, as Cathal Dennehy accepts on today's Good Morning Olympics podcast, but he also believes a bronze medal is up for grabs with a bit of good fortune and a well-executed race from the Irish four.
