Young Stock Podcast: Striving for LA Olympic glory with Ireland's Lisa O' Rourke
•
Lisa O' Rourke's journey to the top of boxing is an interesting one and far from straightforward.
Growing up on a farm in Roscommon, Lisa only started boxing at the age of 15. Since then, it's been a roller-coaster journey - one that involves her sister Aoife, the GAA, plenty of setbacks and ultimately a World Championship title.
In this interview, Lisa lets us inside the curtain of what it takes to be a top boxer. Already a world champion and world silver medallist, Lisa is not content and has her sights set on bigger and brighter stages. The 2028 Olympics in LA is the ultimate goal but there are several hurdles to jump before that.
Listen to Aoife's story on this week's Young Stock Podcast.
Join us at the UCD Lyons Crops Open Evening on Thursday, the 25th of June at 6pm where we will be recording the Irish Farmers Journal Tillage Podcast LIVE.
You'll get a tour of cutting-edge research into milling wheat, intercropping, and nitrogen rates. Hear from UCD's Finbar Mulligan on feeding native Irish grain to dairy cows, plus Kevin McDonnell and Tomás McCabe on the season so far.
