Kellie Harrington
Boxing
BIOGRAPHY
The reigning Olympic 60kg champion. Kellie’s first major was a World silver medal in 2016 (64kg). She won a World title and European bronze at 60kg in 2018 and silver at the 2019 European Games. Despite the hand injury that delayed her qualification until June 2021 she became Ireland’s third ever Olympic boxing champion in Tokyo with a unanimous victory over Beatriz Ferreira (Brazil). Kellie has since added a European title (2022), and European Games gold in 2023 (which clinched her place in Paris), and two Strandja titles in a remarkable three-year, 32-fight winning streak that began in February 2021. It only ended when she was beaten by Serbia’s Natalia Shadrina in Belgrade in this year’s European semi-finals, yet returning with a bronze still brought her major medal tally to date to eight (4 gold, 2 silver, 2 bronze).
