Olympics Podcast: Glorious age of Irish swimming; boxing relief

Mikey Stafford is joined by Irish Olympian Barry Murphy as Mona McSharry wows in the pool and we prepare for Daniel Wiffen to make a splash.

Raf Diallo also reports from the Paris Nord Arena as the Irish boxing team finally got a win on the board in the shape of heavyweight Jack Marley. Raf fills us in on the quarter-final opponent standing between the Sallynoggin native and an Olympic medal.

Then Barry puts some context on McSharry's supreme semi-final performance and looks ahead to Wiffen's 800m heats.

He also explains what swimmers mean by a 'fast pool', while Mikey shares another alcohol-based Olympic story, this time the tale of American swimmer and actress Eleanor Holm.
