Day 2 of the Paris Games continues this afternoon with plenty of Irish action still to come.
In the pool, Mona McSharry finished second in her Women’s 100m breaststroke heat with an excellent swim to qualify for the semi-final, which takes place later tonight.
However, in the boxing ring, Aidan Walsh suffered defeat to hometown favourite Frenchman Makan Traore in their 71kg clash.
Later today, Grainne Walsh goes in her 66kg clash with Anna Luca Mamori of Hungary at 4.30pm.
And Jack Marley begins his Olympic quest, taking on Mateusz Bereznicki from Poland in a 92kg clash at 7.15pm.
The equestrian team have moved up three places to 8th ahead of tomorrow’s show jumping phase.
