5 Irish Olympic Gold medallists

by Mickado Fri 27 Jul 2012, 1:44 pm

I didn’t know the answer to this one T so I looked it up.

Going back chronologically, our 3rd last gold medalist was in Melbourne 1956. Jeysus.

Do Michelle Smith's medals count?

She got three. The there was Michael Carruth the boxer. And Ronnie Delaney in the 1500m the true test of an athelete in my opinion.
