As Bray boxer Katie Taylor prepares to square up to Russia’s Sofya Ochigava in her first Olympic final this afternoon, we’re asking you to share your favourite Olympic memories of Irish competitors. Was it Michael Carruth and Wayne McCullough in Barcelona, or John Treacy in the marathon back in 84? Or what about Sonia in Sydney?
