It's hard to believe but it's been 21 years since Sonia O'Sullivan ran her way into the history books at the Sydney Games, becoming the first Irish woman to win an Olympic medal in athletics.

And as we celebrate the success of all of Team Ireland in Tokyo, Sonia told Dermot and Dave that the support Irish sport stars get at home is not the same around the world.

She told the lads 'it's very nice that people appreciate athletes for such a long time and not just when they're competing'.

Joining the lads as part of her work with Indeed's #TalentUnleashed campaign, Sonia also spoke about mental health in sport, and how she ended up in a mosh pit at a U2 gig.
