Cosmo Kramer 24 Posted August 1 #142 Share Posted August 1 Kazakh, Polish, Azeri, Canadian and a "neutral" judge I think. But it wasn't about where they were from, it was about where they were. Even the French girl knew she lost that. The fact that the next Olympics are in the US is probably the only thing that might keep boxing on the programme. But we really need to be focusing our resources elsewhere. Get the velodrome built for starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Kramer 24 Posted August 1 #144 Share Posted August 1 Great effort from Fannon, 2NRs and 10th overall in the 50 free, unlucky not to make the final but he could do no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 5,532 Posted August 1 Author #146 Share Posted August 1 Eve McMahon made a solid start to her regatta with an 8th place in race 1. Finn Lynch with a 25th place to add to his 9th place from race 1. Leaves him 16th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Kramer 24 Posted August 1 #147 Share Posted August 1 Tatjana Smith retires at 27. There will always be others coming through of course, but one less at least for McSharry to battle with going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Kramer 24 Posted August 1 #148 Share Posted August 1 No complaints with this one, it's no problem when they're beaten fair and square. The Tajik boxer is too good for Marley. That concludes our involvement in the men's boxing. Week 2 looking an awful lot quieter than week 1 for us in general, other than the athletics there are some very quiet days from an Irish point of view.

OlympicIRL 5,532 Posted August 1 Author #149 Share Posted August 1 God the RTE commentary in swimming is abysmal. John Kenny and Nick O’Hare sound like they are 2 drunk guys coming home from a pub trying to comment on the race. And they both slur as well when speaking too which makes it even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the athletes are carded but the gyms most of them fight out of are literally just halls And the fighters generally come from areas where there are very few options in what sport they participate. Theres literally no way Kellie Harrington plays any sport other than boxing, football or Gaelic football. That’s just one example but it’s the same for most of them. I know we have a HPU unit but that’s 4 coaches and the rest is already established sport council gyms etc Edited August 1 by dodge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
