Harrington described Mandy as her "rock" and credited her for keeping her focussed during some of the tougher days preparing for the Games.She told Oliver Callan on RTE Radio 1: "We don't do things in halves, me and Mandy, literally it's all or nothing for us, but she's fine, she's doing okay, she's my rock basically. There's days when you feel like you don't want to get out of bed and stuff like that because everybody has those days.

After boxing behind closed doors at the rearranged 2020 Games in 2021, Harrington can't wait to be roared on by a big Irish backing in Paris. The Portland Row native told how people have been telling her how they are planning to get to France by whatever means necessary.
