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
