From rowing to boxing, let’s take a look.

Aidan Walsh, the only athlete from Northern Ireland to win a medal at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, is back in action on Sunday morning at 10:32 BST.

Walsh, who qualified at the final attempt after taking 14 months away from the sport, faces home favourite Makan Traore in a difficult draw in the last-32 of the men’s 71kg.
