At least I'd be fine with that as well, I just prefer Van der Poel getting it Dennis 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Now you’re saying they’re different? Basically the same sport except for a couple of minor rules (smaller ball being one) However the GAA (main governing body for those wondering) is for men’s Gaelic football and men’s hurling only. The “Ladies Gaelic Football Association” is the governing body for women’s Gaelic football and Camogie is run by the “Camogie Association”. There have been moves recently for the women’s sports to be brought into the main GAA organisation In practice clubs and county boards don’t separate them but it’s a bit of a political issue now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with a QF loss, the men's rugby team were huge. Extended period as #1, a win over the world champs, a grand slam finally at home. The women's football team amazing turnaround post world cup, and the European gold, World bronze of the men's sevens also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
