The Meath native hinted that her Olympic career was over after she finished 24th in the Modern Pentathlon on Friday. She described being picked as the Irish flag bearer as an ‘incredible honour.’“I’m still a bit shocked by it all, and a little bit overwhelmed. It’s an incredible honour to be able to walk the team out into the closing ceremony and carry the flag,” she said. To host the Games, I don’t think Japan has got enough credit and enough thanks.
