:IRL 1980 Olympic bronze medal winner boxer Hugh Russell has passed away aged 63. 
 

Between 1964 and 1992, Ireland only won 3 Olympic medals and Hugh’s bronze in Moscow was one of them - the only boxing medal won in those 6 Olympic Games. 
 

He later went on to be a successful photographer

    • The Technical director of the Dutch Olympic Committee has, using his discretionary powers, decided to include them in the team. He cites “extra-ordinary circumstances”, but has not stated what they are. The use of these powers is quite rare. They were used in 2022 to nominate an alpine-skier.
