The Women’s 4x400m relay team has finished fourth at the Paris Olympics today. 

The team finished with a time of 3:19.90 - a new national record - at the final track competition in Stade de France. 

Sophie Becker began the relay, followed by Rhasidat Adeleke, Phil Healy and Sharlene Mawdsley.

They are the first Irish women’s relay team to reach an Olympic final. 

Ms Becker said the moment was "bittersweet" but the team "gave it [their] all".

"We'll be back, that's for sure."

Ms Adeleke said to finish fourth was already "breaking so many barriers".

"It's literally only onwards and upwards from here," she said.

The Women’s relay team came third in the semi-final, with Ms Becker, Ms Healy, Ms Mawdsley and Kelly McGrory, yesterday. 

Ms Adeleke confirmed she would compete in the relay, replacing McGory, after finishing fourth in the 400m sprint last night. 

The 21-year-old made history as the first Irish woman to compete in the 400m final.

Ireland has won seven medals this season, the most it has ever won in a single Olympic game. 

Team Ireland will celebrate its season of historic performances on Dublin's O’Connell Street in front of the GPO at 12.30pm this Monday, August 12th. 

Dublin Lord Mayor James Geoghegan said the reception is a chance for people to thank the athletes. 

"Now is our chance to tell them in person just how proud we are of them," he said. 

Boxer Kellie Harrington became the first Irish woman to win two Gold medals in a row, while rower Paul O'Donovan became the first Irish person to win three medals in a row. 

His partner Fintan McCarthy also made history as the first Irish team to win back-to-back Gold medals for rowing in the Olympics.

Mona McSharry also claimed Bronze in the Women's 100m Breaststroke, while Daire Lynch and Philip Doyle also took home bronze at the Men’s Double Sculls final on August 1st. 

Tomorrow marks the last day of the 2024 Olympics, with Fionnuala McCormack competing in the Women’s Marathon tomorrow morning.
