:01:30.:01:34.

Arriving at Dublin airport last night, Michaella McCollum

:01:35.:01:35.

A woman and three children have escaped injury in an arson

An impressive start to the Olympics for Michael Conlan with a unanimous

:02:58.:03:02.

Give us your thoughts on what was a comprehensive display.

:03:03.:03:08.

I didn't think it was one of my best performances, probably one of my

:03:09.:03:11.

worst in recent times but it's the first fight of the tournament

:03:12.:03:14.

and I've been out here since 19th of July, waiting, and it was tough,

:03:15.:03:18.

:03:30.:03:32.

:03:36.:03:37.

How much pressure do you feel being the only male team member of

:03:38.:03:40.

Sometimes, it could have been because I was waiting so

:03:41.:03:47.

long but I wouldn't say it was the pressure,

:03:48.:03:50.

but because I was waiting to get into it, my legs disowned me

:03:51.:03:54.

today, but I love this pressure cooker, it makes me perform a lot

:03:55.:04:04.

and I was last man standing at the World Championships and I will

:04:05.:04:06.

How confident are you that you will leave here with gold with your

:04:07.:04:11.

Gold is my only option, anything else

:04:12.:04:16.

Well done, Michael, and Michael is back in

:04:17.:04:23.

:04:49.:04:59.

margins are so small, the top bands are all very good and very slight

:05:00.:05:05.

things make a lot of difference. We are absolutely over the moon with

:05:06.:05:06.

We are absolutely over the moon with the result.
