About this listen
Episode 1: Just what is the GAA’s Olympic link? Well, the clue is in the name! The Gaelic Athletic Association organised athletics for much of the country from 1884 until 1922 producing no shortage of world class athletes in this period, and athletes who competed on the Olympic stage under the flag of adopted nations or were classed as British until the Irish Free State. Historian Kevin McCarthy joins Mick Foley and Cian Murphy to recall these forgotten heroes.
Lords of the Rings: The GAA’s Olympics Story is a podcast available today from gaa.ie, Spotify and usual platforms, produced by Andrew Foley and GAA Digital Manager Niamh Boyle.
The views, opinions, and historical interpretations presented in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the GAA or any other organisation mentioned.
