Olympic gold medalist Kellie Harrington says her win hasn't sunk in yet and she hasn't slept since her weight in.

 

Kellie Harrington's flight touched down at Dublin Airport earlier today.

 

The 31-year-old says she can't wait to see her dogs, sit down and have a cup of tea and get in to see her community.

 

The Dublin boxer will be given an open-top bus parade around the North-East Inner City, where she grew up.

 

Dublin City Council says residents will have the opportunity to see Kellie from the streets.

 

Locals can’t wait to welcome her home.

 

Meanwhile, the boxer says she doesn't know what the future holds and hasn't decided if she's going to go pro:

 

"I'm 31 now and I'll see where the money maker is really. And then we'll go from there."

 

She says she will do what’s best for her, and hasn’t ruled out the Paris Olympics of 2024.
