In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, Irish Times sports journalists have looked back at the Irish Olympic stories you didn’t know. This podcast series brings you a selection of those pieces, as read by their authors.


In episode two, Paul Howard tells the story of an Irish athlete who in a year went from being barely known outside his native Cork to preparing for the 2004 Athens Olympics as the fastest non-African in the world over 10,000m. It really was too good to be true.
