Tokyo digest: Harrington makes it two golds for Ireland

So that's that. The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are over for Ireland and they have ended in some style. The party will be in full flow on Portland Row for days and probably weeks to come after Kellie Harrington this morning beat Beatriz Fereirra to win gold in the women's lightweight division, claiming a second gold for Ireland in a historic Games. After losing the first round it looked as though Harrington may be in some trouble but she quickly found her range to pick off her opponent in the second and third, eventually winning on a unanimous decision, as Johnny Watterson reports from the Kokugikan Arena.

Indeed Harrington became just the third Irish woman ever to win gold at the Olympics and she joins the most exclusive sporting club in the country, writes Ian O'Riordan. Elsewhere on the final day Emily Kay finished 13th in the women's omnium while Kevin Seaward and Paul Pollock completed a brutally tough men's marathon which had earlier been too much for Stephen Scullion. Catch up on all of that in our Day 16 wrap. For full reaction to Harrington's win and to catch up on anything else from the last two weeks you can check out our dedicated Tokyo 2020 website.

Moving on to GAA and Cork meet Kilkenny today in the second All-Ireland SHC semi-final for the chance to play Limerick in the final. Limerick were simply too good for Waterford yesterday, blowing past them with ease but the loss of Peter Casey to a red card could weaken John Kiely's side for the final. This afternoon Cork and Kilkenny will do battle and, as Malachy Clerkin writes, Patrick Horgan has gone long enough without an All-Ireland medal and this might be the year he changes that. Elsewhere this morning Jim McGuinness is writing about Mayo and how they must believe in what they are doing if they're to bring down the Dublin empire.

Finally to rugby and there was a heartbreak for the Lions yesterday as South Africa struck late to win the series 2-1. It was a painful defeat for Warren Gatland while John O'Sullivan hands out the marks for the tourists.
