Kellie Harrington secured her chance at defending her Olympic title by winning the European Games in Poland last summer. Since winning gold in Tokyo, Harrington has become a household name and secured herself as an Irish sporting legend.
The Dublin native had a surprise first defeat in three years at the European Championships in April but has insisted she has bounced back.
Winning to an almost empty arena in Tokyo, Harrington will be looking to emulate her 2021 success but this time in front of a noisy Irish crowd.
