With the Summer Olympic Games and other tournaments on the horizon, sportspeople from across the province have shared their goals for the new year with Northern Ireland World.

We spoke to athletes from a range of disciplines, including swimmers, track and field, boxers, bowls players and ice hockey players.

Take a look through our picture gallery to see what they are hoping to achieve across the next 12 months.

Good luck to everyone who responded. Hopefully they can meet their targets.

IBO Super-Featherweight champion Anthony Cacace set out his goals for 2024. The Belfast man, who fights out of Evolution Boxing Club in Carrickfergus, said: "I'm in the mix at the top of the division and I'm praying I get a big fight. I turn 35 soon and with having the belt, it's a bargaining chip. My last fight was in Belfast and I'd want to fight outside of the UK and Ireland, if I get the chance, and head somewhere further afield. Boxing is in a very healthy position locally and it's great to see. I'd encourage up and coming fighters to train hard, look after yourself and watch what boxers are doing."
