Sharing what his time at the Olympics has been like, Greg O’Shea has taken to Instagram to share his thoughts with his followers.
“It’s impossible to put into words everything that I’m feeling today after playing in the Olympics”, he shared.
“This journey has been years in the making and although we didn’t put in the performance we wanted, I am so incredibly proud to have represented my country with my mates at the top sporting level.
“All I really want to say here is thank you so much to everyone who supported us along the way, I hope we did you proud.”
This comes after Greg revealed how disappointing it is that his family can’t be with him as he takes part in the Tokyo Olympic Games this year.
In a Q&A on social media, one of his followers asked; “Are you upset your family can’t come watch you compete in Tokyo in person?”
Responding, Greg said; “We are all so gutted that our family and friends can’t be here to support us in person.”
Continuing, the rugby star; “They have travelled all over the world over the last few years on this journey.
“It won’t be the same without them but they will all be cheering us on from home I’m sure,” he added.
Twenty-six-year-old Greg is no stranger to competing in the games, as he previously competed in the Youth Olympics, but for him, competing in Tokyo this summer is a “dream come true.”
