Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

To put it into context, it took us 96 years from first entering the Olympics in 1924 to winning gold in our fourth different sport (rowing in 2020). We've now won gold in four different sports in the space of a week. What an achievement.

Rowing was our 6th. Athletics, boxing,sailing,swimming, equestrian came before.

 

And even tonight I am still frustrated by the thrown away medal in Sailing!!!

We've never won a gold in sailing or equestrian (at least not one we were allowed to keep...)

RTE sports person of the year is going to be some decision this year. O'Donovan/McCarthy should be a safe enough bet for the team award ahead of the 6 Nations winning rugby team ans the European winning mixed relay team, but how do you choose between Harrington, McClenaghan and Wiffen for the individual one? Harrington maybe just gets the nod for going back to back. Ciara Mageean's European gold medal would have her there or thereabouts most years, but this year the competition is on another level.

I would hope McCarthy and O’Donovan get the team award but the mixed relay European champions may get the nod. Or God forbid they give it to Armagh GAA or something :d

Could be a case to be made for just giving the team award to the entire Olympic team at this point but that might be a bit of a cop out!

Very good runs from Mark English and Sarah Lavin this morning to progress to the semis, English looked really strong, would be amazing if he could get to the final.

 

Defeat for Jack Woolley in the first round of the taekwondo unfortunately

    • 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.."
