Ireland has finished 19th in the 2024 Olympics medal table. This is our first top 20 finish since 1932 and our highest position ever as a percentage of participating NOCs (top 9.2%).

New Zealand is 11th with the same population and 20 medals. What are they doing different? Maybe more investment in sports that don’t have four legs.
One or two medals for us is generally a big deal.
I went to events every day. I saw 52 gold, 52 silver, and 60 bronze awarded. Using my medal table, you actually finished 3rd behind only the US and Kenya.
I guess I should’ve gone to more events 😅
On a serious note, what an amazing performance. So happy to see your success.
