It’s gold 3 for Ireland at the Olympics and this one underlines just how well Paris 2024 is going for the team overall.
For Rhys McClenaghan on Saturday more than made up for the disappointment of his seventh place at the Tokyo Olympics by winning with a brilliant routine on the pommel horse.
McClenaghan took gold with a score of 15.533 (he got 15.2000 in qualifying), pushing Kazakhstan’s Nariman Kurbanov (15.434) into second place and the USA's Stephen Nedoroscik into third (15.300).
The 25-year-old County Down-born gymnast already has two World, one Commonwealth and three European titles to his name.
