Sir, – The Olympics confirm the ability of the power of sport to unite all the nations of the world. To be an Olympian, motivated by passion, ambition, resilience and integrity, is a distinct honour. To win a gold, silver or bronze Olympic medal is a lifetime achievement. As a keen sports fan, I’m thoroughly enjoying this wonderful festival of sport and the superb performances of our brilliant Team Ireland, who are doing us proud. – Yours, etc,
