In terms of how Kellie Harrington is viewed at home in the inner city of Dublin, she is a hero. She is absolutely idolised.
You only have to look at the footage when she came home from Tokyo three years ago - a double decker bus driving through her area Portland Row, and the streets were lined with supporters.
