Aidan Walsh

Most definitely, like if I was to give my medal away, she deserves the medal far more than what I did.

I always feel like I was lucky, I was fortunate.

I got there, not doing a bit of luck on my side, happy days.

But internationally, like she's won more medals than I've ever, ever.

Like she's on her, I think she holds the record for 14 Irish elite titles, the most ever in Ireland.

And that's elite titles.

I've won an elite title and she's 14.

Yeah.

See, to be honest, I never really appreciated it until now.

Even a few weeks ago, I put a clip on Instagram of me boxing.

I never watched myself boxing back at all.

And it's only now, looking back, and loads of photos, I'm looking and going.

we did that together you know and even people would say like jesus it's so hard to qualify it's so hard to even make it the olympics it's so hard to even make it on the national team to do that consistently on a consistent basis with your sister over like five six seven years like i'm only really taking it in now and actually looking at it going that was amazing that was actually really because i struggled so much throughout my career you didn't appreciate it and you didn't actually sit back and reflect and go this is actually amazing what you're doing until now you're like that was actually tough and that was actually really really important times in my life

Yeah.

Yeah, that was actually a really, I actually got quite emotional even going back to my room after that.

I was in Hungary, it was my first time working after I retired and I was with the under 23s in Budapest, Hungary.

It was a training gym next to the venue and some of the lads were sparring.

And the French journalist came up to me and I was standing right next to him and I was talking away and blah, blah.

And then he turned around and he says, are you Aidan Walsh?

And I was a wee bit surprised.
