Zac Ward

Zac Ward scored four tries in the men's rugby sevens tournament at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where Ireland finished sixth, their best Olympic result in the event, and was one of the team's most prominent performers.

He comes from a rugby family: his father Andy Ward won 28 caps for Ireland and captained the Ulster side that won the 1999 Heineken Cup. Zac was born during the quarter-final of that campaign.

Ward is from Ballynahinch, County Down.
