Yeah "resources" was probably not the right word there. "Efforts" might have been better. There's no reason, in principle, why someone from Portland Row couldn't be every bit as good a cyclist or a swimmer as someone from rural Sligo or somewhere in Armagh. We just need to continue to steadily build.the facilities and get the programmes in place to give people easy access to them, and not just the people that can easily afford it. The situation with boxing might resolve itself anyway in terms of it being removed from the games after everything that's been going on this week.

Big win over Japan, first Top 8 finish of the games in the bag already.   I know the reasons why it's happened this time, but having two of the three men's sevens days taking place before th

Amazing, been watching Daniel coming through for years and it's all come together tonight, and arguably not even in his strongest event. This is what it's all about.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

They did it lads. What a win that was! Second gold medal of these Games :clap:. McCarthy and O’Donovan will go down as a couple of the biggest legends in Irish sporting history for years to come!

Never in doubt really, don't think I've ever been as relaxed watching an Ireland entry in an Olympic final, even three years ago was tighter than that I'm sure. 

 

An Irish medal a day for five straight days, including two gold. Unprecedented. The question now is can we get another today in either sailing or showjumping?

Totally blew it alright 😥

Uruguay and Poland had nothing to lose by trying to get the perfect start. Ireland had everything to lose and did. Have to say that was really naive.

Yeah and after all a 4th place finish is commendable for this duo. But my God you can’t compliment them on that…. really amateur there. I know I’m being harsh but sometimes you have to be, if for nothing else for your own sanity.

      It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.

      Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position

      Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt

      Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.

      The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle
