Boxer Walsh starts Olympic campaign on day seven – all you need to know
BBC Sport NI takes a look at who is in action on day seven of the Paris Olympics after a medal-filled start to the Games.
It’s hard to believe we are a week into the Paris Olympics already – and what a start it has been!
There has been medal success (and lots of it), drama and even the odd tear shed – and we’re only halfway through.
After the medal rush for athletes from Northern Ireland, there are more chances for glory on Friday before a big weekend.
Let’s take a look at what is happening.
First of all, there’s the Fermanagh duo of Ross Corrigan and Nathan Timoney in the final of the men’s pair in rowing.
A medal would be a huge success for the Ireland crew in their first Olympics, and the final starts at 10:30 BST.
Team Ireland boats are in two other finals on Friday with defending Olympic champions Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy in the lightweight double sculls final (11:02 BST) and Aoife Casey and Margaret Cremen in the women’s double sculls final (11:22 BST).
It’s been a disappointing Games for Ireland’s boxers and Michaela Walsh is the last one to take to the ring.
Walsh takes on Svetlana Staneva of Bulgaria in the featherweight division at 14:45 BST.
Ireland are competing in the team showjumping final at the Palace of Versailles, with Derry’s Daniel Coyle, Cian O’Connor and Shane Sweetnam all in action from 14:00 BST.
Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry started their bids for Olympic gold on Thursday and return to Le National for the second round.
Lowry tees off at 8:44 BST before McIlroy begins his second round at 11:06.
Ireland have a chance of a medal too in the sailing with Robert Dickinson and Sean Waddilove competing in the men’s skiff (from 11:13 BST).
