MODERATORS
 
  • Record 133 athletes

  • Why no women's hockey? We're usually good at that.

  • Rowing: Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy (lightweight double sculls) are back after gold in Tokyo: https://olympics.com/en/olympic-games/tokyo-2020/results/rowing/lightweight-men-s-double-sculls

  • In women's boxing: Kellie Harrington has every chance of another gold. She is 34 now. Aoife O’Rourke is absolutely a gold-prospect too and has four European golds on her matelpiece.

  • Men's boxing: Aidan Walsh got bronze four years ago.

  • Swimming: Daniel Wiffen has world records, is 22, would be disappointed not to be on a podium or two. He is in three events.

  • Women's 400m: Rhasidat Adeleke may be the most famous athlete in Ireland now

  • Men's gymnastics: Rhys McClenaghan has all sorts of laurels, underperformed in Tokyo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhys_McClenaghan
