With Shane Lowry and Sarah Lavin waving the flag, Team Ireland aims for a record medal haul at the Paris 2024 Olympics! 🥇🇮🇪
The Tokyo 2020 Olympics might be a hazy memory, but Team Ireland is gearing up to make a splash at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games! The President of the Olympic Federation of Ireland recently expressed tremendous confidence in Team Ireland's ability to outdo their previous Olympic record of six medals. With this goal in tow, the athletes are firing on all cylinders, ready to make history on the grand world stage once again!
With patriotic pride shining brightly, Shane Lowry and Sarah Lavin have been unveiled as Ireland’s flag bearers for the opening ceremony, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Seine. Lowry, a golfer who already has a stellar career behind him, expressed his immense pride: "Anybody that knows me knows how patriotic I am and how much I love Ireland!" On the other hand, Lavin, the 100m hurdler, brings fierce determination and an unyielding spirit to the games. Together, they embody the passion and dedication of Irish athletes.
As excitement builds, local councils, including Waterford and Limerick, have extended their heartfelt congratulations to their homegrown Olympians. Mayor of Limerick, John Moran, particularly offered praise to Lavin, celebrating her role in leading the team as a symbol of hard work and aspiration. It’s this united, supportive spirit from communities across Ireland that fuels the fire within these athletes as they prepare to represent their country in Paris.
But the Olympic fever doesn’t stop just with these two! A brand new podcast titled "Lords of the Rings: the GAA’s Olympic Story" is launching just in time, delving into the intriguing history of Gaelic games’ ties to the Olympics.
