21
Tallaght, Co Dublin
400m, women’s 4x400m
Two agonising fourth places. The relay will be easier to take given the performance the quartet produced.
But the 400m final will sting given Adeleke didn’t produce her very best. Fuel for the fire.
32
Dunmore East, Co Waterford
Mixed 4x400m
In his final Olympic appearance, Barr ran a reliably strong race, splitting 45.25 on the third leg of the mixed relay.
But they fell short of the final, finishing fifth in their heat in 3:12.67.
27
New Ross, Co Wexford
400m, mixed 4x400m, women’s 4x400m
A breakthrough Games for Becker, who split 51.37 in the mixed 4x400m, had one sub-par run in her 400m heat followed by a better run in the repechage.
Then she had two outstanding runs in the women’s 4x400m, remarkably splitting the same time, 50.90, in both heat and final, helping the Irish to a huge national record of 3:19.90.
28
Balbriggan, Co Dublin
1500m
Illness in mid-summer fleeced him of his fitness and Coscoran never got back on song after, trailing in 15th in his heat and 12th in the repechage. One to put a line through.
26
Swords, Co Dublin
1500m
Tactical inexperience at the top level found out Doyle in his heat, but he showed his ability by winning the repechage, going on to finish 10th in the semi-final on tired legs.
31
Letterkenny, Co Donegal
800m
A super-impressive heat where he ran one of the medal favourites to the line was followed by a semi-final where he went for it, leading on the last turn, but ultimately he again hit the same ceiling he has in the past and finished sixth in 1:45.97.
27
New York
Shot Put
Went to Paris lacking fitness after an injury-hit preparation and it showed, Favors throwing a best of 19.02m in qualification to bow out.
25
Glasnevin, Co Dublin
5000m
A solid first Olympics for the national record holder, who finished 13th in his 5000m heat. Has the potential to make a final at this level, but still a bit off that just yet.
29
Bandon, Co Cork
women’s 4x400m
Turned in a strong run to help Ireland into the women’s 4x400m final, splitting 51.90, then had the run of her life in the final, splitting a remarkable 50.94 to help Ireland get oh so close to a medal in fourth.
23

A frustrating Olympics for Healy, who just missed qualification for the semi-finals when seventh in her heat then she finished fourth in the repechage with only three to advance.
30
Limerick
100m hurdles
Ran a strong heat to finish second in 12.73 but needed the race of her life to advance past the semi-final.
She finished sixth there in 12.69, her bid to find the extra fractions leading to a small but costly mistake.
25
Newport, Co Tipperary
400m, mixed 4x400m, women’s 4x400m.
Ran a PB in her 400m heat of 50.71 and was below her best in the repechage, clocking 51.18.
A 50.06 split in the mixed relay was followed by a 49.65 split in the women’s 4x400m heats before the anchor leg of her life, splitting 49.14 to carry Ireland to fourth in the final.
A magnificent showing.
24
Glenageary, Co Dublin
5000m
A baptism of fire on the Olympic stage, McCann was dropped by the pack in the 5000m heats and was well below what she wanted when clocking 15:55.08 to finish 20th. A learning experience.
26
Glenageary, Co Dublin
1500m
Finished eighth in his 1500m heat and seventh in the repechage. Neither was what he wanted or needed, and he walked away knowing he didn’t produce his best.
39
Kilcoole, Co Wicklow
Marathon
Finished 28th in the women’s marathon, clocking 2:30.12 on a gruelling course in oppressive heat. She wasn’t happy, having targeted a top-20, but it was another run filled with courage by one of Irish athletics’ leading lights.
27
Laghy, Co Donegal

22
Melbourne
1500m
Finished seventh in her 1500m heat and fourth in the repechage, both times a single spot shy of advancing. Ran well in both races; just needs more experience to flourish at his level.
Age: 20
Bandon, Co Cork
Hammer
Tuthill came in with zero pressure and she performed admirably, launching the joint-second biggest throw of her career, 69.90m, to finish 16th overall. Definitely a name to watch for LA 2028.
25
Newtownards, Down
Pommel horse
McClenaghan added Olympic gold to the World and European titles already amassed with a quite brilliant performance in what was a high-class final at the brilliant Bercy Arena.
30 and 27
Skibbereen, Cork
Men’s lightweight double sculls
Doubts circled around them but the Skibb pair dispelled them with three brilliant rows. O’Donovan is the first Irish person to medal in three Games. McCarthy joins him as just the third – with Pat O’Callaghan – to defend gold.
25 (both)
Skibbereen, Cork and Rochestown, Cork
Women’s lightweight double sculls
Disappointing opening row for the Cork pair but they rebounded by coming through the repechage and semi-final to take a fifth place finish. All seven Irish crews finished in the top ten.
22 and 27
Kildinan, Cork and Killorglin, Kerry
Women’s double sculls
Came close to a medal at the Worlds in Belgrade last year, finishing fourth, but went in for the ‘B’ final here and an eventual tenth-place finish. Not the regatta they were hoping for.
32 and 29
Na Forbacha, Galway and Moycullen, Galway
Women’s pair
A major disappointment for these two bronze medallists from the women’s four in Tokyo. Enjoyed a positive World Cup season and got through the heat fine before finding the cupboard bare in the semi.
Second in the ‘B’ final.
31 and 26
Banbridge, Down and Clonmel, Tipperary
Men’s double sculls
Came in as a real medal hope and lived up to it by claiming bronze. Their form in the heat and semis suggested it could be even better but a huge run from the Romanian crew surprised them and the Dutch.
25 and 23
Enniskillen, Fermanagh (both)
Men’s pair
These guys claimed a brilliant bronze at the World Championships last year and would have fancied their chances in this Olympic final. It didn’t happen. They finished sixth.
25, 34, 26 and 25
Skibbereen, Cobh, Cabra, Johannesburg
Women’s four
Bit of an unknown crew coming in. Qualified from the last-chance saloon and contained half the women’s four who claimed bronze in Tokyo.
Went through the repechage and into the B final, which they won, to finish seventh.
Beat South Africa and Japan on the Games’ opening day then let slip winning positions against New Zealand in the last pool game and against Fiji in the quarter-final.
Had to settle for sixth. Disappointing.
Finished just two places behind the men but only won one from six games, and that was against a poor South Africa.
Erin King lifting Emily Lane went viral and showed the audience the Games can deliver.
24
Newtownabbey
100m backstroke, 50m freestyle, 400m freestyle relay, and 400m medley relay
Fell 0.34 seconds shy of her PB in the 50m free and didn’t advance. A 59:11 was enough to reach a semi-final in the 100m backstroke. Swam in both women’s relays too.
23
Grange, Sligo
100m breaststroke, 200m breaststroke, and 400m medley relay
Finally got the major championship medal she deserved with a brilliant 100m bronze that kickstarted seven Irish medals in as many days. Fared less well in the 200m but great split in the relay.
22
Templeogue
100m butterfly, 200m IM, 400m IM, and 400m medley relay
Didn’t advance from the heats in the 100m butterfly, but made a semi in the 200m medley and “shocked” herself by making the 400m medley. Swam in the 4x100m medley relay too.
26
Torquay, England
50m freestyle
Impressed to win his 50m freestyle heat in a new PB and Irish record of 21.79 to advance to the semi-finals. Broke it again by 0.05 seconds but edged out of a final place by one-tenth of a second. Superb.
23
Magheralin, Down
800m freestyle, 1500m freestyle, and Open Water 10km
Double world champion in the 800m and 1500m coming in, he added the Olympic title to the first distance and took bronze in the second.
First Irishman to win two medals in an Olympic pool and rounded it off with the 10 Open Water swim.
Brilliant.
24, 28, 24, 30
Belfast, Longford, Essex, Drexel Hill
Men's 4x100 Medley relay
The team of Ferguson, Greene, McCusker and Ryan created a new national record with their time of 3:33.81 taking 0.8 seconds off the old mark but came in 0.8 seconds off the numbers needed to get through.
24, 23, 16, 24
Japan, Belfast, Bangor, Newtownabbey
Women's 4x100 Freestyle relay
A late, late invite to these Games – Erin Riordan had actually retired before notice came of a belated invite – this quartet produced a time of 3:42.67 to finish 16th in the heats. Wasn’t enough to progress.
23, 22, 16, 24
Grange, Templeogue, Bangor, Newtownabbey
Women's 4x100m Medley relay
Mona McSharry’s huge split helped the team to 4:00.12 and a new national record. The previous mark was well over a second slower.
It left them 11th in the heats and wasn’t enough to advance.
25
Tallaght
58kg
Woolley lost both of his contests, the second by the most agonising of margins, in the 58kg class but held his head high afterwards.
A two-time Olympian now.
