Chapters of Magnificence, a new 11-part series featuring interviews with Irish Olympic medallists, begins this Sunday 19 May at 7.30 pm on RTÉ Radio 1.
In the first programme, Des Cahill talks to Michael Carruth about the importance of family in the success of his career; his unexpected promotion to Sergeant in the Irish Army; and, of course, his 1992 triumph in Barcelona.
With a title taken from a line George Hamilton used when rowers Fintan McCarthy and Paul O’Donovan won gold in Tokyo, Chapters of Magnificence will feature specially recorded interviews with Olympic medallists Michael Carruth, David Wilkins, John Treacy, Paddy Barnes, Cian O’Connor, Annalise Murphy, Kenneth Egan, Sonia O’Sullivan, Fintan McCarthy, and Wayne McCullough illustrated with archive from RTE’s long-standing coverage of the Games alongside a programme based around archive paying tribute to the influence of Ronnie Delany on the Irish Olympic movement.
The series continues every Sunday at 7.30 pm on RTÉ Radio 1 and will also be made available as a podcast and on the RTÉ Radio Player.
