Kellie’s golden moment
Listen now
Description
Kellie Harrington has done it: she has become the first Irish Olympian to successfully defend their title since, well, Friday. Let’s say she’s only the second to do it since 1932. Gav and Sinead were both in Roland-Garros to see the crowning moment of her farewell, and report on what it felt like in the moment and what it means to Kellie, who said that, “this one’s for me.” That was a happy sequel to a disappointing morning for Team Ireland: Sinead was out at a showjumping final that didn’t yield medals, while Gavin rolled back the years to an unhappy morning on the track for a host of Irish athletes. We also discuss the stunning men’s 1500m final, and the alleged lights show before the women’s 200m decider. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
