Kellie Harrington has just secured another Olympic medal for Ireland and herself as she qualifies into the semi-finals of the Women’s light weight division. It was a tough fight for Harrington but she managed to get the decision and hopefully she can go all the way now, who knows we could have another Katie Taylor on our hands, that’s where Taylor started off in the Olympics.
