Team Ireland Update: Mona McSharry Aims for Gold in 200m Breaststroke
As the action continues at the Paris 2024 Olympics, Team Ireland’s Mona McSharry is gearing up for the women’s 200m breaststroke competition. After clinching bronze in the 100m breaststroke final, McSharry is now focused on making a splash in the longer distance.
McSharry will be facing tough competition from Tatjana Smith, the reigning Olympic record holder in the event. However, the Irish swimmer is determined to secure a spot in the semi-finals scheduled for Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, Kellie Harrington, the 2020 Olympic gold medallist, is set to take on Angie Valdas Pana in the quarter-finals of boxing. A victory for Harrington would guarantee her back-to-back Olympic medals.
On another front, the men’s lightweight double sculls team of Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy are eyeing a spot in the semi-finals after a dominant performance in their heat.
Stay tuned to the action as Team Ireland continues their pursuit of Olympic glory!
