There will be a live special screening of Kellie Harrington’s quarter-final Olympic bout on Wednesday, July 31st.

The event, hosted by the North East Inner City Initiative and Dublin City Council, will take place at the Diamond Park Basketball Court in Dublin 1 from 4.30pm, ahead of the scheduled match start time at 4.54pm.

Entrance to the screening is completely free and will also include a screening of a special video compilation illustrating Harrington’s road to the Olympics and the challenges she faced to get there.

The North East Inner City Initiative and Dublin City Council have said they are hosting the event for both the proud local community and Kellie Harrington supporters from near and far and as a way of bringing fans together.

They have also arranged to give the Irish sporting legend the recognition and support she deserves as she defends her Olympic Lightweight title and this years’ Paris 2024 games.
