Rhys McClenaghan Wins Ireland's First Olympic Gymnastic Gold Medal

Updates from Olympic Action from Team Ireland today

Rhys McClenaghan made history and won Ireland's first ever Olympic gymnastic medal after he claimed gold in the final of the Men’s Pommel Horse.

The Newtownards man suffered heartbreak in Tokyo in 2021 after his finger slipped in his routine.

However, yesterday was McClenaghan's day as Ireland win their third gold medal of the games and their fifth medal overall.

It's also the first time Ireland has had 3 different Olympic champions at the same Games.

====

Boxer Kellie Harrington has booked her progress into another Olympic lightweight final.

She defeated Beatriz Ferreira yesterday by a split decision in a repeat of the Tokyo Games final three years ago.

That semi final victory means the Dubliner will fight to defend her gold medal on Tuesday and is guaranteed a least silver medal.

====

Daniel Wiffen is looking to secure his second gold medal of the Paris Games.

The Armagh man goes in the final of the 1500 metre Freestyle after half 5 this evening.

He's looking to add to the 800 metre gold medal from earlier in the week.

===

Rory McIlroy has put himself in contention for a medal in the men's Golf.

He lies in a tie for 6th place and 4 shots off the lead ahead of the final round.
