Olympics Paris 2024

[NAG1]

Rugby boys knocked out before the opening ceremony.

Who cares?

Roll on the ceremony this evening, should be more interesting than the usual stadium based ones previously.

Has anyone got a breakdown of each Irish athlete by county?

Daniel Wiffen is from Magheralin which geographically (and for GAA purposes) is in Co Down, though it's very close to the Armagh border.

I'm pretty sure Kate O'Connor (she has competed for NI in the Commonwealth Games) is from Newry which would make her Down or Armagh

Wiffen went to St. Pats, Armagh so he's an Orchard man.

Aidan Forker went to the Academy in Dungannon. Big Tyrone man?

RTE seem to have left out Claire Boles who's in the rugby 7s squad and is originally from Lisbellaw, Co Fermanagh.
