Ireland competed at the2024 Summer Olympics inParis from 24 July to 11 August 2024, commemorating the centenary of the team's debut as an independent country at theSummer Olympics.[1] Irish athletes have competed in everySummer Olympics edition of the modern era, either in its own right or as part of a Great Britain and Ireland team before 1924, except for theBerlin 1936 Olympics.
Ireland sent a record 134 athletes to the 2024 Games, across 15 sports. 2024 also marked the centenary of Ireland's first independent appearance at the1924 Olympic Games, also in Paris, after the founding of theIrish Free State in 1922.[2]
The2024 Summer Olympics was the most successful Olympics in the history of the nation, with Ireland breaking their previous record medal haul of 6 atLondon 2012. The team also surpassed theAtlanta 96 record of 3 Olympics golds in a games, including both a first Olympic medal and Olympic gold medal ingymnastics as well as a first gold for the men inswimming.[3]
Ireland guaranteed a podium finish on seven consecutive days: the opening Monday (McSharry, swimming), then Tuesday (Wiffen, swimming), followed by Wednesday (this was the day Harrington secured at least a bronze medal in boxing),[4] then Thursday (Lynch & Doyle, rowing), followed by McCarthy and O'Donovan's gold in rowing on Friday.[5] The streak continued on Saturday with McClenaghan's gold in gymnastics[6] and was rounded off with Daniel Wiffen securing a second podium finish in the pool on Sunday[7].[additional citation(s) needed]
The nation's media also reported on Irish links to athletes for other nations, notably Hungarian swimmerHubert Kós (200 metre backstroke gold medalist), as well as Hong Kong's multi medal-winning swimmerSiobhán Haughey (grand-niece of formerTaoiseachCharles Haughey).[8][9] Neither's achievements count towards Ireland's total.
A number of Northern Ireland athletes competed for, and in several cases won gold medals for,Great Britain and Northern Ireland, including rowerHannah Scott andJack McMillan who had previously swum for Ireland at the 2020 Games. These successes were also widely reported upon in Ireland. The success of Northern Ireland born athletes for both teams was reported on widely in Northern Ireland in particular, with the combined total of four golds, one silver and two bronze medals for Northern Irish athletes being reported as "Northern Ireland's best ever Games" and a symbol of the increasing ease felt in Northern Ireland with its multiple Irish and British identities.[10][11]
