Scott Evans became the first Irish male to win a badminton match in the Olympics. Underdog beforehand, Evans beat his highly rated German opponent Marc Zwiebler by 2 games to 1.

It was a massive win for Evans who celebrated by whipping off his shirt and letting a holler in the direction of his family in the crowd.

Chloe Magee, the first Irishwoman to win a badminton match in the Olympics back in 2008, plays her second match tomorrow morning. She lost her opening game to 2nd seed Wang Yihan on Thursday.
