James CrombieGUEST
Um, it's hard to tell.
James CrombieGUEST
Um, I remember being in, uh, Roland-Garros for Kelly Harrington winning her second, um, gold medal at the Olympics.
Andrea GilliganHOST
Amazing.
James CrombieGUEST
And that was very, uh, I felt very emotional that day.
Podge DoyleHOST
the weight in a lot of disciplines so
Denis ByrneHOST
I'm going to go number five Kelly Harrington Double Olympian.
Denis ByrneHOST
Back-to-back Olympic gold medals is a fair achievement.

9 MINS LATER
Denis ByrneHOST
Yeah.
Denis ByrneHOST
For Harrington, I'm seeing the Northern Ireland flag for...
Denis ByrneHOST
McIlroy which is right you know but obviously he represents Ireland as well but he's Northern Irish talking about Harrington like I said with the tricolour beside him I think he's overlooked massively and look probably any golf person listening to this would agree and I know Papa would if he was there he'd say yeah Harrington I just think his the longevity and the success that he's had and where I would say compare Harrington and Katie Taylor Katie Taylor is, and Kelly Harrington I suppose as well, they're in a sport where the competition isn't as big, as difficult, I'm going to say.
Denis ByrneHOST
No,
Sinead KeoghGUEST
Yeah.
Brendan FitzpatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Kelly Harrington boxed here.
Brendan FitzpatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
She left.
Brendan FitzpatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Uh, there's another little girl down the road, she boxed here.
Brendan FitzpatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
But I don't, I don't think that it's, uh, it's on a level playing field with other sports.
Sinead KeoghGUEST
Yeah.
Sinead KeoghGUEST
And in terms of what it can provide a community, like, you know, when you look at Kelly Harrington and coming back with the medal and-
Brendan FitzpatrickSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
100%.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
So I think, uh, we kicked it off last week with...
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Uh, uh, two weeks ago with Kelly Harrington.
Jim JimHOST
Yeah.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
No one better.
Jim JimHOST
Yeah.
ZainabHOST
Well-
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Get Kelly Harrington.
ZainabHOST
Yeah.
Tommy HydeGUEST
She was on the Irish team with Katie.
Tommy HydeGUEST
She would have been traveling the world with her and Kelly Harrington, like Christina Desmond's father, at the top level for years.
Cornelius Patrick O'SullivanHOST
Where would she be now? Is she kind of coming down in her career? No,
Tommy HydeGUEST
she's not long professional, so she's on the up.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Like, honestly, if there was a show suited to me, it is away games.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
It's just good fun, having a laugh and then taking on a load of Vikings and a load of wrestling with Kelly Harrington.
Doireann GarrihyHOST
And a bit of dancing.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Ooh, dancing with Oti Mabuse.
Catherine ThomasHOST
Absolutely brilliant.
Catherine ThomasHOST
Kelly Harrington we've seen.
Catherine ThomasHOST
Odie we've seen last night.
Catherine ThomasHOST
Just great
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
And thankfully, the team in Shinnewill were able to chat to me and it's more travel.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
I've seen different destinations like I've been to Iceland with Kelly Harrington.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
I was in Greece with Oti Mabuse, Scotland with Jordan Conroy.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
So going around different parts of Europe for this one and taking on ridiculous challenges, to be honest with you, Alison.
IanHOST
Katie Taylor has done a massive amount for young girls in boxing and young girls in sport.
IanHOST
But it's people like yourself, Louise, people like Kelly with Dockland, it's people like Kelly Harrington, it's people, incredible people who have gone through worse battles than boxing can ever throw at them.
IanHOST
But it's very important that they're able to reach to you or they're able to look to you and they're able to listen.
IanHOST
And how difficult is it, would you think, for a young girl to be able to bring this topic up? And whether it's with a parent or a coach or a mentor, it's not an easy subject at any time, is it?
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Yeah.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
i'll be honest if what how i kind of pitched it at the start were different challenges what it probably ended up was as a kind of travel companion show so last week was myself and kelly harrington and we took on uh we wrestled vikings in iceland so got to see around iceland which is a stunning country very like the burn uh you know with that kind of rugged look but genie it's windy whoa so uh But just showing it around.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
And then we competed in an event called Gleema Wrestling against all these Vikings.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
Look, if you're going to take on a Viking, you might as well have Kelly Harrington by your side, two-time Olympic champion.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
But it gets a little bit sealier as the episodes go on.
Donncha O'CallaghanGUEST
This week, I'm dancing, folk dancing in Greece with Oti Mabuse from Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars.
