Annalise Murphy says she had to battle to get her confidence up ahead of the Rio Olympics.

The Silver medallist arrived home to a roaring reception at Dublin Airport this morning - with an official homecoming planned for this Thursday in Dun Laoghaire.

Annalise is the first of Ireland's medallists to return home. The O'Donovan brothers are back at work and have traveled on to compete at the European Championships. 

Annalise just missed out on a medal in 2012 and says it knocked her confidence:
