Michael Carruth
Olympic Gold Medailist - Boxing
Michael Carruth’s unbelievable achievement of winning a
Gold Medal for Ireland in boxing, may never again be experienced in our lifetime. The Dubliner will be forever remembered as the man who won Ireland’s first Gold in boxing. The Barcelona Olympics bought the whole of Ireland to a standstill as Carruth, one of triplets, reached the pinnacle of success in the Welterweight final.

 

The Irish man beat the great Cuban Juan Hernandez who was the reigning Junior World Champion, a Latin American Champion and a Pan American Champion. Therefore it is one of our greatest honours in Terrace Talk Ireland that Michael Carruth so willingly came on the show to share with us one magical moment of one of Irish sport’s greatest successes.
