Irish Olympic team up for challenge.
Foireann Oilimpeach na hÉireann faoi réir don dúshlán.
Boxers Kellie Harrington and Brendan Irvine led the All-Ireland team at the opening ceremony of the Olympics at the Japanese national stadium in Tokyo today.
Is iad na dornálaithe Kellie Harrington agus Brendan Irvine a bhí ag ceann fhoireann na hÉireann ag searmanas oscailte na gCluichí Oilimpeacha i staid náisiúnta na Seapáine i dTóiceo inniu.
Irish athletes are set to take part in nineteen of the 32 competitions at this year’s Olympics.
Tá lúthchleasaithe na hÉireann le páirt a ghlacadh i naoi gcinn déag den 32 comórtas ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i mbliana.
The sky above the situation was lit with fireworks as the Games officially kicked off, and there was a moment of silence in honor of those around the world who have been lost to Covid-19 since the beginning of the pandemic.
Lasadh an spéir os cionn na staide le tinte ealaíne agus tús oifigiúil á chur leis na Cluichí, agus bhí nóiméad tosta ann in ómós na ndaoine ar fud an domhain a cailleadh le covid 19 ó thús na paindéime.
The pandemic forced the Games to be postponed for a year and only a thousand people were in the situation due to rules about social separation.
B’éigean na Cluichí a chur ar athló ar feadh bliana de bharr na paindéime agus ní raibh ach míle duine sa staid mar gheall ar rialacha faoi scaradh sóisialta.
Kellie Harrington said she has no worries about Covid-19 and is focusing on what she herself has to achieve in the boxing ring.
Dúirt Kellie Harrington nach bhfuil aon imní uirthi faoi covid 19 agus go bhfuil sí ag díriú ar a bhfuil le baint amach aici féin sa chró dornálaíochta.
The Olympic Games had already taken place in Tokyo, in 1964.
Bhí na Cluichí Oilimpeacha ar siúl i dTóiceo cheana, i 1964.
