You wait 36 years for a gold medal and two come along in the space of ninety minutes!
Team Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen became the first athlete from Northern Ireland to win an Olympic gold medal since Great Britain hockey pair Stephen Martin and Jimmy Kirkwood in 1988 and then Jack McMillan picked up gold as part of the Team GB 4 x 200m relay team.
Could there be another one on Wednesday?
Well, Hannah Scott will be chasing the top of the podium in the women’s quadruple sculls alongside Team GB team-mates Georgina Brayshaw, Lola Anderson and Lauren Henry at 11:38 BST.
The Coleraine rower is one of three reigning world champions from Northern Ireland competing in Paris and is hoping to add Olympic gold to her impressive career medal haul.
Before that, Rebecca Edwards and Chloe Brew will be looking to book a place in the women’s pair final for Team GB (09:56 BST) while County Fermanagh pair Nathan Timoney and Ross Corrigan are pushing to progress into the men’s pair final for Team Ireland (09:34 BST).
