Chloe Magee (Badminton; 2008, 2012, 2016)
The Raphoe woman created history when, aged just 19, she defeated Estonia's Kati Tolmoff 18-21 21-18 21-19 at the Olympic Games in Bejing. She was the first ever Irish woman to win a badminton match at the Olympics, but she lost out to Jun Jae-youn from South Korea in her next match.
Magee was back at the Olympic Games in 2012 in London, losing out to Hadia Hosny from Egypt and Hongyan Pi of France.
At the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Magee was beaten by China's Wang Yihan and Karin Schnaase from Germany to place third in her group.
