Olympics Daily: Déjà vu for Dupont?
00:00

Olympics Daily will bring you all the action from Paris 2024 every day - from the Irish medals (fingers crossed) to the scandal and gossip (we've already got some) - with Gavin Cooney and Sinead O'Carroll reporting from across the city.


The Olympics kicks off on Friday but actually it started today (Wednesday). Gav made his way from Longford to the Stade de France to watch French rugby fans worship Antoine Dupont in a 7s tournament which also features Ireland's Hugo Keenan in an impressive lineup of other extremely fast Irish men.


Elsewhere, football was embarrassing itself as the rest of the athletes train in preparation for their events which start in earnest on Saturday morning.
