One of the greatest coaches in the world of amateur boxing - Zauri Antia is such a loss to @TeamIreland & @IABABOXING
Since first competing as an independent state in 1924, Ireland has won 42 Olympic medals. This Georgian genius has been the architect behind 10 of them, as well as 140-odd more major int’l medals. The greatest coach in the history of Irish sport. Happy retirement, Zaur Antia 🤴

Radical revamp of T&F schedule for #LA2028 includes all 3 rounds of Olympic women’s 100m (but not men’s 🤔) on one day. MC Hammer must be playing the opening ceremony becoz that sounds like ‘hammy-time’ to me 😬 #womeninsport
Women’s 100m to kick-start @LA28 with athletics to cover entire Games period. Press release 🔗 https://t.co/gR3ZTRfmlh

The USA men's 1-2-3 sweep in the 100m was one of the most famous moments of the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. Three years later, gold medalist Fred Kerley is provisionally suspended and off to the Enhanced Games. Now silver medalist Marvin Bracy is banned for 45 months.

Sister Stan was an absolute giant who founded @FocusIreland AND @immigrationIRL A visionary & powerhouse who always raged against the machine & fought for poor & marginalised Always amazed she never got Freedom of Dublin Rest in power Stan💚🙌 #legacy #hero #endhomelessness
Delighted to see Alice Leahy & Sister Stan included on this list. Baffled why neither has yet received the Freedom of Dublin award but then only NINE of its 85 recipients to date have been women 😟 Happy International Women’s Day #IWD
