Howth Yacht Club Teenager Eve McMahon For Tokyo Olympic Trials

18th October 2019

Fifteen-year-old Eve McMahon will race in the Irish Tokyo trials in the Radial Class

The Irish Tokyo Olympic trials for the women's Laser Radial nomination have been given added spice with the entry of fifteen-year-old Eve McMahon into next March's three trial series.

The Howth Yacht Club teenager is the Irish youth champion in the class and this summer became the under-17 Radial world champion.

It brings to four the number of helmswomen now planning to contest the series, including the return of the Rio Olympic silver medalist, Annalise Murphy.
