Irish action at Olympics today

Golf finally makes its Olympic return today.

Padraig Harrington tee's-off at twenty to twelve this morning.

Waterford's Seamus Power is the other Irishman in this week's field.

In Rowing, Ireland's two Lightweight Double Sculls crews will be back to contest their semi-finals weather permitting.

Sinead Lynch & Claire Lambe will be first onto the water at around one. 

And they'll be followed minutes later by the O'Donovan brothers, Paul & Gary in their semi-final.

Donegal's Chloe Magee will also be in action at around 1 o'clock this afternoon when she begins her campaign in the Women's Badminton singles.

Elsewhere, Judy Reynolds will finally begin her Olympics in the Individual Dressage, which resumes at two o'clock this afternoon.

In Hockey, it's win-or-bust for Team Ireland as they face Canada in their penultimate match in Pool B at 3 o'clock.

After three straight defeats, Craig Fulton's men have to win today and in their final match against Argentina to have any hope of reaching the quarter-finals.

And in Swimming this evening, Shane Ryan returns to the pool for the Heats of the Men's 50m Freestyle.
