Answer 8

Well unfortunately Ireland has yet to win any medals (officially) However today 2 Irish boxers have made it to the semifinals in boxing and are assured of at least 2 bronze medals. Unlike other events, in boxing, both the losing semifinalists will receive bronze medals. Do watch the boxing semifinals on the 22nd August, you never know these two Irish boxers might just make the final and win gold medals on the penultimate and final day of this Olympics.

Aye, we've got a boxer from Belfast in the semis, no medals yet, we only had about 50 athletes in it though.

no medals to report for Ireland
