'It’s nice to be kind of forced into a new challenge. It’s exciting' - Fintan McCarthy

Sep 13, 2024 | the42.ie | Sinead O'Carroll

FINTAN McCARTHY HAS said he and Paul O’Donovan will have to “put a plan together” for how they will make the step up to heavyweight. The lightweight class in which the pair won gold medals in Paris and Tokyo is no longer an Olympic event. The Co Cork rowers will have to move up to heavyweight if they are to challenge for a third gold medal together in LA 2028. “We’ve probably been thinking about it already,” McCarthy said at Dublin Castle today.
Michael Shine was convicted for assaulting 9 boys. But that’s not the full story

Aug 18, 2024 | thejournal.ie | Sinead O'Carroll

MICHAEL SHINE IS one of those names that you probably recognise, a memory that jogs some ill feeling. Reach into a memory bank of other bad men, and you will find him. Derry O’Rourke. Brendan Smyth. George Gibney. Michael Shine. All figures from the past who held power through their jobs – doctors, priests, sports coaches – and misused the trust society had in them to prey on the most vulnerable.
Why Simone Biles is the greatest story that sport can offer

Aug 14, 2024 | thejournal.ie | Sinead O'Carroll

WITNESSING SIMONE BILES compete three times – in the flesh – in two weeks is life-changing. I exclaimed this on a podcast after the first occasion, immediately cringing at my own hyperbole but, now, after times two and three (and four if you count her being in my eyeline at the Stade de France) it feels… correct? Seeing that level of supremacy in real life is, of course, astonishing.
As Paris 2024 ends, the fight for home continues for some Olympians

Aug 11, 2024 | thejournal.ie | Sinead O'Carroll

“AND FROM THE Refugee Olympic Team…”Curiosity is piqued when an announcer says those words. What has this competitor been through to be here? What backstory of tragedy or horror is etched into their bodies and minds as they take to the shiniest of sports stages? What persecution or sentence awaits them at home even if they have Olympic metal around their necks?

'I don't think it was anything beyond what I could do': No excuses from Adeleke as she rues 4th

WHAT DOES ONE say when the thing that you want, the only thing you really want, doesn’t happen? That you have to wait more than a year for another chance to even try again. Crossing the finish line in Stade de France, Rhasidat Adeleke looked up and heartbreak was realised. Fourth again. Fourth in a international final, just as in the World Championships in Budapest 2023. Mere minutes after that comedown, athletes are obliged to talk to the rights-holding press assembled in their pens.
