Name: Jack Woolley
Event: Taekwondo (58kg)
Age: 25
Three years ago Jack Woolley was Ireland's first ever Olympian in taekwondo, a Korean martial art that emphasises kicking.
The Tallaght native narrowly missed out on qualification for Rio 2016 as a teenager and had a disappointing performance in Tokyo, failing to progress from his first match by just three points.
Woolley is currently ranked fifth in the world in the 58kg category and clinched qualification for the Games by reaching the final of the European Taekwondo qualification tournament in Bulgaria in March.
"My goal is the same as it was going into Tokyo. Realistically I know anyone in that division can come away with the gold medal," he told RTÉ Sport recently.
"The Olympic champion from Tokyo, I actually beat last year, so I know when I'm on form and I'm fighting the best I can fight, there is no reason I cant come away with an Olympic gold medal."
