Silver medal finishes for discus pair

Day 8 in Rio brought yet more medals for Ireland, with Orla Barry and Niamh McCarthy each taking silver in their respective discus events. 

Some more of Ireland's medal winners will be hoping for further success on Day 9. 

Eoghan Clifford, who has already won gold and bronze, cycles in the H1-3 Road Race…also taking part in that one is Colin Lynch who has a silver medal to his name.

Then, bronze medallist Ellen Keane swims in the heats of the 100 metre backstroke.

And then just after 5pm the sonar sailors of John Twomey, Ian Costelloe and Austin O'Carroll sail in Race 10 before the medal race on Saturday.
