Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

Daniel Coyle is from Derry

 

Noel Hendrick is from Kildare

 

Max McCusker has family from Monaghan

 

I’m not sure on Westmeath but they’ve said that only Leitrim wasn’t represented so I’m guessing one of the 2nd/3rd gen has family in 2 counties

I think somebody here said that every county is represented on Team Ireland. I cannot find even a slim link to Derry, Kildare, Westmeath, or Monaghan, unless you credit the Ugandan rower to Monaghan. I believe her parents are Fermanagh and Monaghan. And Leitrim claiming Dean Clancy is stretching it.

Daniel Coyle is from Ardmore in Derry, Noel Hendricks and Eve Higgins from Kildare. Clancy is Sligo andMax McCusker has family connections from Monaghan. Nobody from Westmeath.

Women's pair look destined for fourth already it seems. Nowhere near the Romanians there. Corrigan /Timoney up next.

 

I always figured OlympicsIRE was Dan Man, but perhaps not?!

Great recovery from a dreadful start for the men's pair to get through in third. They were fourth with 20 meters to row, maybe 10 metres, what a finish.

It's been an absolute nightmare start for the boxing team, three defeats from three, all in fights where they would have been favourites to win

A bit early yet to be mentioning Rio in terms of the boxers, but it hasn't been a good start. Grainne Walsh maybe our third or fourth best shot for a medal, and she's gone in the round of 32.

 

At least we're not as reliant on one sport as we used to be. Could really do with a getting a win on the board from Jack Marley tonight all the same.

 

The main positives today have been Dickson/Waddilove, Corrigan/Timoney and Mona McSharry.

 

Murtagh/Keogh probably in the negative column with Walsh x 2, although they qualified directly from their heat, they don't have the look of genuine medal contenders.

To be fair all 3 were definitely 50/50 at best. I thought Grainne would win but thought the other two were up against it

All three were strong favourites in the betting odds. Really hope Jack Marley can get the win this evening and stop the rot

Don’t mind the betting odds. Absolutely clueless they are. Marley shouldn’t be favourite either. It’s 50/50

Marley was obvious favourite, had beaten that Pole twice before. Very good display all the same and got the job done, the boxing team badly needed that

    • What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens? 
    • Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)
    • I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->   
    • Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)  
    • That's what I'd plan as well (except for MelFest), but I also know I am hypocritical enough to still want to watch the show and have a fun evening  
    • Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.  
    • Got our first competition of the season coming up in Solitude, Utah  this weekend.  Live on Discovery Plus etc, plus also YouTube and the Olympic Channel.  If you are new to the sport, the sprint races on Saturday will be the format you'll find easy to understand.     ISMF   ISMF Skimo - YouTube    
    • Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
    • @Josh skimo mixed relay is on Saturday, not Sunday, FYI
    • ... this week, time depending.   Today (Dec 5) 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:00pm: Freestyle Skiing WC Big Air Beijing  9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 6 2:00am: Snowboard WC Big Air Beijing 6:45am: Freestyle Skiing WC Aerials Ruka 4:00pm: Swimming US Open - Finals 9:30pm: Snowboard WC Parallel Giant Slalom Mylin   Dec 7 7:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka 9:45am: Ski Mountaineering WC Soltitude Mixed Relay   Dec 8 6:30am: Freestyle Skiing WC Moguls Ruka   Dec 9   Dec 10   Dec 11 4:45am: Ski Cross WC Val Thorens 7:00pm: Snowboard Halfpipe WC Secret Garden   Bills, Warriors, and Canucks (have a headache, can't be bothered to put it in...)   No Elite 16 beach volleyball, weak field and most of the top teams have shut down their seasons already. No Snow League Freeski Finals, Heerenveen Speed Skating WC, Alpine Skiing WC either.
