Ireland recorded their second medal of the Olympics, and their first gold, with Fintan McCarthy and Paul O'Donovan taking gold in the rowing. There's a chance for medal number three overnight, so we have you covered with all of the Irish in action on day seven at Tokyo 2020.
Who are the Irish in action on day seven at Tokyo 2020?
The first Irish involvement comes with Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry teeing off one after another in the second round of the golf. Both had solid if unspectacular starts in round one, with McIlroy six shots off the lead, and Lowry one shot further back.
The track and field events get underway on day seven in Tokyo, and there are Irish runners competing through the night and morning. Nadia Power, Louise Shanahan and Siofra Cleirigh Buttner are first up in the 800m heats, while Thomas Barr (who finished fourth in Rio) runs in the 400m hurdles at 3:41am.

Medal hope Kellie Harrington has her first preliminary fight against Rebecca Nicoli at 3am, but all boxing eyes will be on Aidan Walsh at 4:51am. He takes on Merven Clair of Mauritius in the quarter-finals, knowing a win will guarantee at least a bronze medal.
Elsewhere, there's Irish involvement in 3 day eventing with the Irish set to complete their dressage sets today, as well as in the late morning's swimming heats.
