Team Ireland Daily Diary at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

Daniel Coyle is from Derry

 

Noel Hendrick is from Kildare

 

Max McCusker has family from Monaghan

 

I’m not sure on Westmeath but they’ve said that only Leitrim wasn’t represented so I’m guessing one of the 2nd/3rd gen has family in 2 counties

I think somebody here said that every county is represented on Team Ireland. I cannot find even a slim link to Derry, Kildare, Westmeath, or Monaghan, unless you credit the Ugandan rower to Monaghan. I believe her parents are Fermanagh and Monaghan. And Leitrim claiming Dean Clancy is stretching it.

Daniel Coyle is from Ardmore in Derry, Noel Hendricks and Eve Higgins from Kildare. Clancy is Sligo andMax McCusker has family connections from Monaghan. Nobody from Westmeath.

Women's pair look destined for fourth already it seems. Nowhere near the Romanians there. Corrigan /Timoney up next.

 

I always figured OlympicsIRE was Dan Man, but perhaps not?!

Great recovery from a dreadful start for the men's pair to get through in third. They were fourth with 20 meters to row, maybe 10 metres, what a finish.

It's been an absolute nightmare start for the boxing team, three defeats from three, all in fights where they would have been favourites to win

A bit early yet to be mentioning Rio in terms of the boxers, but it hasn't been a good start. Grainne Walsh maybe our third or fourth best shot for a medal, and she's gone in the round of 32.

 

At least we're not as reliant on one sport as we used to be. Could really do with a getting a win on the board from Jack Marley tonight all the same.

 

The main positives today have been Dickson/Waddilove, Corrigan/Timoney and Mona McSharry.

 

Murtagh/Keogh probably in the negative column with Walsh x 2, although they qualified directly from their heat, they don't have the look of genuine medal contenders.

To be fair all 3 were definitely 50/50 at best. I thought Grainne would win but thought the other two were up against it

All three were strong favourites in the betting odds. Really hope Jack Marley can get the win this evening and stop the rot

Don’t mind the betting odds. Absolutely clueless they are. Marley shouldn’t be favourite either. It’s 50/50

Marley was obvious favourite, had beaten that Pole twice before. Very good display all the same and got the job done, the boxing team badly needed that

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
