Kellie Harrington is the double Olympic lightweight champion. Let's state that again. Kellie Harrington is the back-to-back Olympic champion. The first Irish boxer to reach two finals - and she won them both. Kenneth Egan joins The Rocky Road podcast today to go over her incredible journey, how she got here and where she's going. We rewatch the nine incredible minutes that saw her sail to victory over China's Yang Wenlu as the Beijing 2008 silver medallist goes over what it is that makes Harrington so great. He describes the butterflies that go through a fighter before an Olympic final, what it's like to be in the flow state during the Games and the difficulties that can strike after a successful tournament. We also look at the overall state of Irish and world boxing as thoughts turn to whether or not the sport will be staged at Los Angeles in 2028. Hosted on Acast.
