It's wall-to-wall Olympics on the World Service this week. Mona McSharry managed Ireland's first medal of the 2024 games, Daniel Wiffen backed up his supreme confidence with a Gold medal performance and Simone Biles cemented herself in Olympic history.

Meanwhile, Andy Lee joined us in studio to chat about his time at the Athens Olympics in 2004, a lonely experience for Ireland's solo fighter at the dawn of the Irish High Performance era.

Back in March Ken and Eoin sat down with Daniel Wiffen. He promised a summer of gold. This morning he set the fastest time in the swimming heats, 7:41.53 seconds, the fastest of those making it through to the medal race. He is living up to his big, big talk. We speak to Gavin Cooney, who was poolside in Paris.

While our island nation may not always have excelled in the pool, the boxing ring has been a happy hunting ground. We watch on as Kellie Harrington begins her journey to what will hopefully end with back-to-back Golds.

While the still distraught (but always professional) Ciarán Murphy lets us know - through the medium of The Frances Murphy TV Guide - what to watch out for tonight and tomorrow.

Last week we saddled up and rode north to Crossmaglen. Ciarán Murphy was confident riding into the old Armagh market town, he was a little less confident leaving.

Yesterday Armagh won their first All-Ireland since 2002. Kieran McGeeney, their Captain then their manager now. We chat to Michael Murphy and Paul Flynn on a tense final that had a thrilling end. We go easy on Murph.
