Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

    • In fact, according to some first-hand reports, female athletes mutinied protesting Maccarani's dismissal.

    • it's always all about the "USSR-alike" methods used by the coaching duo Maccarani/Tishina at their National Academy   now some leaked phone calls have shown the former Federation's president commenting on the girls with sexist expressions and things like that   moreover, it's been discovered that also Raffaeli and Baldassari were treated like the team by their coach Julieta Cantalupi, forced to get naked in public after missing some exercise in training or kept for hours closed in a dark and cold small room in punishment after a not satisfactory training section   basically, all the Italian stars of the Rhythmic Gymnastics have come to success only after and possibly because of unacceptable humiliation by the coaches, which looks to be the usual attitude also among the youngsters and the "amateur" clubs   Italian Rhythmic Gymnastics is a dirty, sick world     now the Group is basically not active and doesn't go to the next world cup stages, Baldassarri has retired and Raffaeli looks to be happy with her new coach (the Goddess herself, Claudia Mancinelli) after Cantalupi ran away like a rabbit to Israel in Autumn 2023 after the first rumors about the scandals came out
