Paris 2024: Irish in action on Day 12 of Olympic Games

Must read

The schedule appears to be thinning out quite significantly for the Irish at this stage, although Day 12 will see Jack Woolley and a host of Irish track athletes make their bows at these Games.

The women’s singles golf tournament also kicks off today with Irish interest in Leona Maguire and Stephanie Meadow.

Meadow will be among the first out on course at 8am, with Maguire due to tee off around 11.17am.

Rhasidat Adeleke is set to run in the first of the women’s 400m semi-finals. She is the only Irish athlete to make it through to the semis after her team-mates Sharlene Mawdsley and Sophie Becker failed to come through the heats and repechage.

However, before that, Sarah Lavin will be the first Irish athlete out on the track to compete for a place in the women’s 100m hurdles.

Brian Fay will then go in the heats of the men’s 5,000m, followed shortly after that by Mark English in the men’s 800m.

Sophie O’Sullivan and Sarah Healy will run in the women’s 1,500m repechage after both failed to qualify from their heats yesterday.

Fans will be hoping to see Jack Woolley’s trademark scorpion kick when he faces Gashim Magomedov in the men’s 58kg taekwondo round of 16.

He’ll be aiming to progress to the quarter-final later in the afternoon before the tournament progresses to the latter stages.

The medal race in the sailing is also taking place with Finn Lynch hoping for a strong finish. He can’t come away with a medal.
