The Dubliner won Olympic gold for a second time after defeating China's Wenlu Yang in the 60kg final at Roland Garros
Kellie Harrington has sent a message of thanks to all those who supported her at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Harrington took to social media on Wednesday morning to thank people for the warmth shown to her, which she described as "so beautiful". The 34-year-old, who said she would “retire a champion” after Paris, won her first gold medal at the Tokyo Games in 2021. She is the first Irish woman to win medals at two Olympic Games.
Accompanied by Dublin Fire Brigade’s pipe band, she travelled down Sean McDermott Street from Diamond Park towards the Five Lamps landmark.
