First Irishwoman ever to win medals at multiple Games - and both are gold. Kellie Harrington with yet another masterclass. She joins Pat O'Callaghan, Fintan McCarthy and Paul O'Donovan as the only Irish Olympians to win gold at multiple Games. Different class.

Berlin's S-Bahn is 100 years old! ๐ŸŽ‚ The first electrified S-Bahn hit the tracks on 8 August 1924. The now iconic logo was designed by Fritz Rosen in 1930. Born to a Jewish family, Rosen had to flee from the Nazis and moved to the UK where he stayed until his death in 1980.

And for everyone who's following the Olympics right now and already wondering what will they do with their lives!!! Donโ€™t forget that from the 28th of August to the 8th of September the Paralympics are on and they're also absolutely worth watching!!

On 13 August 1961, construction of the Berlin Wall began. In the early hours of the morning, barbed wire fences were erected, dividing the city in two and tearing families and friends apart. Between 1961-89, at least 140 people were killed at the Berlin Wall.

My Shero, Althea Gibson, was born on this day, 97 years ago. She was courage and strength personified, and watching her play when I was 13 showed me what World No. 1 looked like. She was the 1st Black person to win a major, and in doing so blazed a trail for so many others.
