UPDATED – Ireland’s World Championships Medal Record
Amy Broadhurst and Lisa O’Rourke made history on Thursday.
The Dundalk and Castlerea fighters became the first duo to fight for, and indeed, win World Championship gold for Team Ireland on the same day.
Dundalk light welterweight Broadhurst decisively defeated Algerian Imane Khelif before Roscommon bolter O’Rourke edged past Mozambican Alcinda Panguana to claim top prize at light-middleweight.
The wins see the duo join a small list of World Championship gold medal winners and a slightly longer list of Worlds medal winners.
The medals are Ireland’s 22nd and 23rd at the level and O’Rourke and Broadhurst become Ireland’s 13th and 14th World Championship medal winners. They become Team Ireland’s fourth and fifth gold medal winners and only the third and fourth female medal winners.
Tommy Corr was the first in 1982 and Kellie Harrington the last in 2019 before this week.
