A big day for Irish rowing and everything you need to know about Day 7 in Rio can be found in our Olympic breakfast preview.
The Waterford native had a decent start in Rio yesterday, hitting back-to-back birdies on four and five.
The Dubliner had a mixed day yesterday, as he carded a one-under par 70.
The Irish athlete gets her Olympics underway at 2pm in dressage.
Reynolds spoke to The42 about her Olympic hopes back in March.
Judy Reynolds and Vancouver K put in a really solid performance there. She’s racked up a score of 74.09 in the dressage. She needs to finish in the top 18 to reach Monday’s Freestyle final. Here’s hoping!
Fingers crossed!
Sinead and Claire need to stay in touch – they’ve dropped a little bit in the last few hundred metres.
It was a tough slog from the start but Sinead and Claire and be proud. Netherlands take the gold, Canada finish second and China claim bronze.
Straight outta Skibbereen. Let’s go, fellas! Bring her home! Keep the eyes closed and pull like a dog!
It’s pretty tight and the lads are going well. Still a long way to go.
Keep her lit, lads! Superb stuff so far.
Incredible! A medal for Ireland! What a performance from the boys!
Solid performance from English and that’s nice and composed. Just what he would’ve wanted.
Let’s face it – we were all waiting for this interview. And the O’Donovan brothers didn’t let us down. Incredible from Paul who says they’re ‘disappointed’ that they couldn’t catch the French team and claim gold.
Still striving for more even after an Olympic silver.
“Mick Conlan said he’d box the head off us if we didn’t get the gold”, he added.
We finished fourth in the rowing on two previous occasions – just narrowly missing out on the podium – but here’s some history being made.
What a moment for the boys from West Cork.
An update from the golf. Seamus Power is going really, really well.
-4 through 11 and he’s tied for 8th. Remember, there’s no cut to worry about but if he can keep up this momentum and get a little closer to the leader, Marcus Fraser, we could be set for a great weekend.
Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington is -1 through 8 and that leaves him on level par overall.
The Dubliner has the overall lead in the Laser Radial (dinghy) race and will be hoping yesterday’s rest day can help her tighten her grip with Dane Anne-Marie Rindom just one point behind when the 17.05 race begins.
Finn Lynch is a little further down the field in the men’s Laser Radial race. He’ll set off at 15.15.
Sakia Tidey and Andrea Brewster set off in the 49erFX race 1 in the next few minutes.
And making it six Irish sailors on the Brazil coast this evening are Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern in the 49er (Skiff) class.
Both races will go off at 17.05.
You heard me!
An eagle two for Power puts him on -5 for the day and up to fifth place.
Evans is facing German opposition on the badminton court and you can watch it live on RTE right now.
The Laser Radial course was hit with a dramatic wind shift before the start.
The race will be run when possible, hopefully today.
Time for patience as courses are re-drawn and organisers wait for the wind to settle.
Marc Zwiebler looked in control throughout the first set in the badminton arena, but Evans has turned it around and had three shots to spare as he levelled the match up in the second.
Evans battled from a set down to beat Zwiebler and boy is he enjoying it, ripping off his shirt and fist-pumping at the crowd.
You can take a horse to water, but Judy made it dance.
The conditions have played havoc all over the bay today.
A tough day in a rough office for the Dubliner. Full report to follow on The42.
Ireland are about to take the field in their final group game against Argentina. After victory over Canada, it’s win or go home for the Green Machine tonight.
Before you grab the cocoa and tuck yourself up in bed with Peter Collins for the night: We’ll update this liveblog with scores tonight, but won’t ping you automatic updates after the 23.30 tip off.
So don’t forget to tune in for Ciara Mageean in the 1500 metre heats at 12.30 tonight too.
Saladino taps in a rebound to put Ireland behind after seven minutes.
Jermyn whips in a penalty corner to the roof of the net and Ireland are level at one apiece.
Superb finish from the penalty corner.
A draw will not be enough for the Green Machine.
The County Down woman knows what she needs to do in the first of three 1500m heats. Semi-final spots for the top six.
The Portaferry woman ran 4:11.51 and was only beaten by Genzebe Dibaba.
