Daniel Wiffen and Mona McSharry have been selected as Ireland flagbearers for Olympics closing ceremonyon the track, and Ireland have one more shout of a medal, in the women’s 4x400m relay. The team confidently qualified for the final without star sprinter, but the Tallaght woman is back for the final to join Sophie Becker, Phil Healy and Sharlene Mawdsley. USA are likely to win gold but after that it’s all to play for with Britain and Netherlands among the main other competitors.
There are also several other finals on the track and field at the Stade de France - the men’s high jump, men’s 800m, the women’s javelin, the women’s 100m hurdles, the men’s 5000m, the men’s 4x400m relay and the women’s 1500m final. Unfortunately Ciara Mageean isn’t in that one after injury but it promises to be a great night of athletics, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen running in the 5000m final.
There is also one of the most anticipated team events of the Olympics, the men’s basketball final with USA’s dream team of LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant et al against home nation France led by young star Victor Wembanyama. That starts at 8.30pm after the athletics. We also have the women’s soccer final between Brazil and USA.
