Zou beat Barnes at the same stage in Beijing in 2008. Barnes, from the Holy Family club in Belfast, becomes the first Irish man to win medals at two consecutive Olympics since Dr Pat O'Callaghan in 1928 and 1932. John Joe Nevin and Michael Conlan will also fight for a place in the final of their respective weight divisions tomorrow. Cian O'Connor collected Ireland's first medal of the games yesterday when he won bronze in the individual showjumping. 09/08/2012
