Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

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.

Yep, always assume zero medals in boxing when making your predictions because you can’t rely on anything.

Great effort from Fannon, 2NRs and 10th overall in the 50 free, unlucky not to make the final but he could do no more. 

Great performance and already talking about the next 4 years and going for a medal, love to hear that!

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.

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.

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.

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 :d

Not being smart now but boxing gets very little funding. 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

    • Ben Hebert: "... We have a hockey mentality on our curling team, we’re not going to be bullied and pushed over by a bunch of Swedish guys out there that are getting their a**es handed to them." “We didn’t have any of that, we finished at the top of the podium with the gold and they finished dead last, so I think that says a lot.” Hebert is long known in curling media circles for not being afraid to speak his mind, and he didn’t let up in his ire when it came to the genesis of the entire situation -- Eriksson. “That snake in the grass,” Hebert said. “The stuff he tried to pull at the Olympics is not very Olympia of him… I lost a lot of respect for him with the stuff he tried to pull. He’s won the Olympics, they’ve won Grand Slams, they’ve won World Championships, and when they were at the high of their peak, you never saw that stuff from him. These last two or three years, they’ve been on a brutal stretch and pretty irrelevant in the curling world, haven’t won anything, they’re out of the Grand Slams, dead last in the Olympics puts a stamp on that.."
