Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

With Lavin and English avoiding the repechage and Healy and O'Sullivan bowing out today it looks like we will only have three Irish competitors in the whole of the Olympics tomorrow - the two female golfers and Kate O'Connor in the Heptathlon.

Looks like Jack Woolley will be back in business and fight in repechage, this Magomedov dude is tearing through all opposition.

 

Awful start in the ladies golf, Jaysus

Well mission accomplished for Adeleke to get into the Olympic final. But she doesn’t look in great form. And it’s doubtful she’s keeping anything in store for the final, she didn’t have much in those legs to bring her to the line.

Only thing can hope is that she didn’t execute well. But tall order as we all knew to get on that podium but that race really brings it home how big the task is. But she is in the final so the first step is done :)

The NCAA season has finally caught up with Pryce. Was initially certain it would, but then less confident after her recent Diamond League run. One of the "big five" gone. Just a pity about Naser.

I think there's two possibilities with Adeleke here - one is that she just didn't execute that race correctly at all and there's much better in her if she can nail it tomorrow.

 

The other, and I fear possibly the more likely situation, is that it's just not there this week - either through a recent training injury or not peaking at the right time - that she hasn't got a PB in her legs right now. Her last 200 race before the games wasn't great, so she hasn't put in a fast time in a little while. Her last 100 tonight was really leggy. It might just not be there at the moment, there might also be an injury setback that we don't know about. We'll know by Friday night.

 

Anyway, it's the Wednesday night of the final week of the games and we are still somehow twelfth on the medal table, and we'll be there until tomorrow at least.

You could be right. The RTE crowd were all saying on Monday that she was looking around because she was so comfortable but to me it seemed more like she was worried. Maybe the false start made her anxious or maybe nerves got to her and in the final she can run free. She could get the bronze or she could end up 5th. On tonight’s show Naser will get gold.

Some mention tonight of her getting treatment after the race as well. Officially it was put down to nothing more than tiredness, but then they would say something like that whether it was true or not. Wonder if she's maybe caught the bug that's been going around the games or whatever Ciara McGing had that nearly caused her to pull out of her event.

 

I'm not expecting much from Wiffen in the open water, he's a pool swimmer and he'll be up against open water specialists who are targeting this as their only Olympic event, whereas it's more of an add-on for him. Better to take it as an outside shot of a bonus medal rather than coming from a position of expecting anything.

 

And then there's the Omnium on the track on Sunday and that's really it for us as far as outside medal chances go. We're down to our last 15 or so competitors in total.
