Regatta seems to be getting away from Dickson and Waddilove unfortunately, 11th in race 10 and down the field in race 11 so may slip out of the medal standings now. Need a big last race today to set them up for tomorrow, that DSQ after appeal by Spaniards may ultimately cost them a medal 🙄

They are still in with a shout of a medal and to be honest that’s more than most would have expected before the Games at this point so they’ve done extremely well to put themselves in this position.

Comfortable enough from Harrington, still a classy operator, and now winning medals in two Olympics, which even Taylor didn't manage (though Paddy Barnes of course did!).

 

Three medals in three days for Ireland, and more to come without doubt. Hard to see how this will be anything other than our most successful ever Olympics from here. I posted it half jokingly on Monday, but we genuinely could win a medal a day this week, we have multiple chances daily for the next four days up to Sunday.

And if we get another boxing medal alongside Harrington we’ve done well. Although more than 2 medals was a possibility, 0-2 medals seems to be the middle ground of what we could expect, IMO.

Huge result with a 2nd place in race 12 to put them back into 2nd overall, badly needed result for the lads. Need to beat Spain by at least 3 places in the medal race tomorrow to win gold

After the experience of sitting through Annalise's two medals races I'd gladly take a medal of any colour from the sailors tomorrow. But they've overachieved even to get to this position, regardless of what happens from here.
