It’s a big day for Kate O’Connor, who will make her Olympics debut at the Stade de France

O’Connor, the last athlete from Northern Ireland to take part in the Games, will go for Team Ireland in a stacked heptathlon field.

The 23-year-old was a silver medallist behind two-time world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and was 13th on her World Championship debut last year.

O’Connor will compete in the 100 metre hurdles and the high jump in the morning session before the shot put and 200 metres in the evening session in Paris.

After disappointing starts in the women’s golf at Le National, both Stephanie Meadow and Leona Maguire are in second-round action for Team Ireland.
