Olympic gold medalist Kellie Harrington has arrived home to Dublin.

The 31 year old touched down at Dublin airport at around 1pm this afternoon, along with bronze medalist Aidan Walsh and other members of Team Ireland.

On Sunday Harrington became the country's third-ever gold medal winner at the Tokyo games.

Days on from the win, the Portland Row woman says her win still hasn't sunk in yet and she hasn't slept since her weigh in.

The boxer says she doesn't know what the future holds and hasn't decided if she's going to go pro.

The lightweight boxing champion will travel through Dublin’s north inner city on an open top bus later.
