Go on The Girls: Will You Be Cheering For Our Female Athletes?

Okay, so we know that the Olympics is like the only thing that everyone has been chatting about over the past few weeks (well, aside from the scandal that is K-Stew and her cheating ways) but are you excited about the Games?

You should be, because at this year’s Olympics there are a lot of Irish women gearing up to bring home the gold for our little country.

Now, there’s nothing we love more than a little bit of girl power and we’re firmly behind all the Irish female athletes. You can bet your backside that the entire Her.ie team will be on their feet and screaming motivational slogans at the girls as they compete in their various sports.

If you feel like joining us in celebrating how amazingly awesome these Irish ladies are, here is a handy timetable that documents which of our girls will be competing and when, so you can tune in, have a cheer and be inspired by this incredible ladies.

Oh and it’s not just the girls we’ll be hollering for. Of course will be giving the fellas credit where it’s due too.
