Robert Dickson and Seán Waddilove have secured Olympic quotas in the men's skiff 49er class for the Paris 2024 Olympics. There was one qualification spot on offer at the European Championships in Portugal and the Irishmen claimed it, finishing in 8th place and more importantly as the top placed nation of those not already qualified.
In sailing, quotas are awarded to the NOC instead of the athletes who earned them but in all likelihood this quota will be awarded to Dickson and Waddilove.
It means Ireland has now qualified 67 athletes for the Paris 2024 Olympics!
