Rhys McClenaghan calls it a 'dream well-earned' after winning gold medalKenneth FoxRhys McClenaghan said it was a "dream well-earned" as he won an Olympic gold medal in the Men's pommel horse final, with a score of 15.533. In the pool Mona McSharry claimed bronze and Daniel Wiffen gold, and Kellie Harrington has secured at least a bronze. Notably it is Ireland’s third gold medal of these Paris Olympic Games. In becoming Olympic champion, twenty-five-year-old McClenaghan writes himself into the history books yet again by becoming the first Irish gymnast ever to win an Olympic medal. Loran de Munck of the Netherlands, came off the horse, scoring only 13:733 to put him out of medal contention.
