2020 Vision

 

 

A new Olympic cycle is upon us and as we embark upon the trail to Tokyo 2020, I am going to begin a new project entitled "2020 Vision". This project will follow the trials and tribulations of 20 young Irish athletes throughout this Olympic cycle as we follow their progress towards realising their Olympic dream. The athletes will be aged 20 years or younger and will range from a variety of different sports. Some have already had a tilt at Olympic qualification, others will be embarking on their Olympic quests for the first time.

 

So without further ado, let's meet our 2020 team of hopefuls.

 

 

1. Rhys McClenaghan (Artistic Gymnastics)

2. Jack Woolley (Taekwondo)

3. Conor Ferguson (Swimming)

4. Nhat Nguyen (Badminton)

5. Ian O'Sullivan (Trap Shooting)

6. Cathal Daniels (Eventing)

7. Finn Lynch (Sailing)

8. Liam Jegou (Canoeing)

9. Mona McSharry (Swimming)

10. Sharlene Mawdsley (Athletics)

11. Kevin McGrath (Athletics)

12. Gina Akpe-Moses (Athletics)

13. Rachel Darragh (Badminton)

14. Gearoid McDaid (Surfing)

15. Lee Cole (Field Hockey)

16. Oisin McClelland (Sailing)

17. Aoife Hopkins (Sailing)

18. Bertram Allen (Showjumping)

19. Antoinette Neamt (Swimming)

20. Gerry Quinn (Swimming)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So expect plenty of updates on these athletes as we move into a new Olympic cycle.

 

Tokyo 2020 begins now!
