Rugby Sevens

Six Nations winning full-back Hugo Keenan will return to his Sevens roots to take to the field in Paris, while Jordan Conroy is a try-scoring machine and there's also Ulster's Zac Ward.

The women's team are also capable of a big performance and can beat anyone on their day. While they only finished seven after the seven rounds, they did claim a famous win Perth to stun the big nations.

The Sevens team is littered with regulars from the 15s game, including the exciting Beibhinn Parsons and Ulster's Ashleigh Orchard has been included.

Ireland will have four sailors competing, including Rio Olympian Finn Lynch in the men's dinghy, while Eve McMahon will make her debut in the Games in the women's dinghy.

Tokyo Olympians Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove will compete in the men's skiff.

Swimming

Daniel Wiffen is a double world champion in the 800m and 1500m freestyle after a stunning start to 2024

After a stunning last year where he has gone from outsider to medal contender, there are high hopes for Daniel Wiffen in Paris.

After winning two gold medals at the World Championships in Doha earlier in the year, Wiffen will go in the men's 800m and 1500m freestyle in Paris as he looks to cap an outstanding year.

In a late twist, the 23-year-old will also head to the River Seine for the opening water 10k marathon. It's a big ask, but Wiffen feels like he is up to the task.

Larne swimmer Danielle Hill is another heading to the Games in strong form. Hill, 24, became the first Irish swimmer to win a long course gold medal in 27 years when she triumphed in the 50m backstroke at the European Aquatics Championships in Belgrade. She then followed that up with a silver in the 100m backstroke.

Mona McSharry will go in the women's 100m and 200m breaststroke and Ellen Walshe women's 200m and 400m medley.

Belfast's Victoria Catterson and 16-year-old Bangor swimmer Grace Davison, who sat her GCSEs in June, will travel as part of the first women's relay team since 1972.

Conor Ferguson, who narrowly missed out on Olympic qualification as a 16-year-old in Rio, will make his Games debut in the men's relay.

Tom Fannon will be going in the men's 50m freestyle.

For Team GB, Jack McMillan will be a medal hopeful when he swims in the 4x200m relay.

Taekwondo

Last, but by no means least, Ireland will have one representative in taekwondo.

Jack Wooley, 25, will be taking part in his second Olympics in the 58kg weight category and will look to go further than his last-16 exit in Tokyo.
