By winning the men’s 4x200 freestyle in Paris, the British team achieved a remarkable feat: it is the first time ever that successive relay teams win the gold medal with the identical line up in Olympic swimming history.

Watch the award-winning “RTE Investigates: Greyhounds running for their lives” documentary which revealed that around 6,000 greyhounds are killed every year simply because they are not fast enough youtu.be/ZYTb2qBjlMM #Ireland #BanGreyhoundRacing
