A galaxy of stars are descending on Paris for the 2024 Olympics with the official opening ceremony this Friday (July 26) and competing against the best in the world will be Longford’s own Darragh Greene.
Becoming an Olympian for the first time at the 2020 Tokyo Games (deferred for a year due to the Global Covid Pandemic) was a dream come true for Longford swimmer Greene and one of Ireland’s elite athletes is going to repeat that magnificent feat.
28-year-old Newtownforbes native Darragh will represent his country in the Breaststroke leg of the 4 x 100m Medley Relay as confirmed by the Olympic Federation of Ireland with the semi-final heats scheduled for Saturday 3 August, 10am start. The other members of the Medley Relay team are Shane Ryan (Freestyle), Conor Ferguson (Backstroke) and Max McCusker (Butterfly).
Speaking on representing Ireland, Greene said: “You can’t beat it, it’s one of the main reasons we do this sport and train so hard, it’s huge to represent your country and anything after that is a bonus.”
