Paris 2024: Irish in action on Day 9 of Olympic Games

After his gold medal heroics in the pool in the 800m freestyle final, Daniel Wiffen looks poised to become a double Olympic champion in the final of the 1500m freestyle on Sunday evening.

Robert Finke and Gregorio Paltrinieri, who filled the minor podium places behind Wiffen in the shorter event earlier in the week, are rated the men most likely to challenge the Armagh man for top spot.

Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy still has an outside chance of a medal at Le Golf National, although Shane Lowry is out of the reckoning ahead of the final round.

Megan Armitage cycles in the road race, fans of Irish athletics will be focused on the progress of hammer thrower Nicola Tuthill and Cathal Doyle in the 1500m, while Finn Lynch, Eve McMahon, Madison Corcoran, Noel Hendrick and Liam Jegou are all racing in boats of various descriptions.
