Paris Olympics: What is happening on day seven?

It’s hard to believe we are a week into the Paris Olympics already – and what a start it has been!

There has been medal success (and lots of it), drama and even the odd tear shed – and we’re only halfway through.

After the medal rush for athletes from Northern Ireland, there are more chances for glory on Friday before a big weekend.

Let’s take a look at what is happening.

First of all, there’s the Fermanagh duo of Ross Corrigan and Nathan Timoney in the final of the men’s pair in rowing.

A medal would be a huge success for the Ireland crew in their first Olympics, and the final starts at 10:30 BST.

It’s been a disappointing Games for Ireland’s boxers and Michaela Walsh is the last one to take to the ring.

Walsh takes on Svetlana Staneva of Bulgaria in the featherweight division at 14:45 BST.

Ireland are competing in the team showjumping final at the Palace of Versailles, with Daniel Coyle, Cian O’Connor and Shane Sweetnam all in action from 14:00 BST.

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry started their bids for Olympic gold on Thursday and return to Le National for the second round.

Lowry tees off at 8:44 BST before McIlroy begins his second round at 11:06.
