Kellie Harrington Secures Silver And Now Fights For Olympic Gold


Boxer Kellie Harrington is going for gold.

The 31-year-old Dubliner has beaten Thailand’s Sudaporn Seesondee by split decision in the lightweight semi-final.

The boxer has now secured at least a silver medal and is through to the Olympic final on Sunday, where she will fight Brazil’s Ferreira Beatriz.

Family, friends and neighbours were up early in Portland Row to catch their local hero in action.

Kellie Harrington said afterwards, regardless of the colour of the medal, it’s great to make people smile.

Ireland has now secured one gold, at least a silver and two bronze at the Olympic Games.
