Annalise Murphy of Ireland in action during the Women's Laser Radial races at the Enoshima Yacht Harbour during the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. “I had a slightly better second race. Meanwhile, Cork teenager Meg Ryan fulfilled a lifelong ambition by becoming just the second Irish female gymnast in history to compete at the Olympics, the 19-year-old scoring a tally of 47.199 in all-around qualification. Jegou bounced back in fine style shortly after, nailing his second run and losing only two penalty seconds, his time of 104.40 seeing him comfortably through to tomorrow’s semi-finals in 11th place. I’m relieved I’m through to the semi-finals and I can fight another day.”Jegou was hopeful of a better performance tomorrow.
