‘It was a cool experience to lead the medal race, even if it was only until they abandoned it’ – Lynch
TEAM IRELAND’S INVOLVEMENT in the Paris 2024 Olympic Sailing regatta concluded in Marseille today with Finn Lynch placing tenth overall after his eighth place in the medal race final.
“It was a cool experience to lead the medal race, even if it was only until they abandoned it after there was a 40 degree wind-shift,” said Lynch after the racing ended. “I’ve mixed emotions – I’m happy with how I fought back but also a little disappointed my results,” said Lynch, whose sentiment is typical of all the athletes in the immediate aftermath of not only an Olympic Games but an entire, if foreshortened, quadrennial.
“The team have yet to formally return to their clubs and supporters at home but when they do, they will certainly be welcomed as heroes for their effort and commitment,” said O’Callaghan.
