Among the Irish in action on Day 1 of the Games is gymnast Rhys McClenaghan, a genuine medal hope in the pommel horse.
Mikey Stafford is joined by Olympic judge Mairead Kavanagh to discuss one of the most competitive disciplines in this year’s artisitc gymnastics schedule.
Mairead explains the relative strengths of McClenaghan’s opponents and what the judges will be looking out for during Saturday’s qualifying at the Bercy Arena.
She also talks to us about the force of nature that is Simone Biles – back to her best after her ‘Twisties’ ordeal in Tokyo.
