    I agree wholeheartedly. Derek has been a great servant to Irish sport and enjoyed some success and a few Olympic trips I’d like to see Aoife be rewarded for her recent improvements

    Ireland statement. FINA contacted them a day later to rescind the invitation that they had already accepted. They’re challenging it...

    Thanks for this info. In the case of, say, Ireland would it be up to the federation to choose? So they could decide to choose women’s trap and not men’s trap?

    No. They changed that rule. I’m not sure of the exact new rule but it was mentioned in commentary at the Irish trials that Darragh Greene getting the A time at the 200m and 100m breaststroke was important as he wasn’t guaranteed to be allowed in both with only a B time

    I actually meant the first fight! Apologies

    Young boxers just bypass the ‘golden gloves’ circuit now to go pro at 18/19.

    Boxing does seem to have more losers complain of corruption than any other sport. With some fights it’s genuinely impossible for ‘normal’ viewers to separate the two The only Irish fighter I think was CLEARLY robbed was Michael Conlon against the Russian in Rio. Others have claimed to have been robbed but I wouldn’t agree the only British fighter I think who was given a fight they shouldn’t have was Joshua in London. He’s proven himself since but he lost that final in my opinion

    That weight category is not as competitive as some others. The Irish representative she beat was only second at our national championships but the winner was injured last March and couldn’t compete. All the British girls are medal contenders though

    I know Ireland may have profited here but it’s a shame to see an athlete miss out because of an admin error (if that is the case)

    with the last spot in both relays. Something definitely happened with that Greek medley time...
  11. dodge
    I’m sure FINA will publish the lists soon so we’ll find out. It could be that the time was set at an event that wasn’t accredited correctly

    Not live score as such but under the video on Olympic channel they’re quick to update the scores after the fights

    Huge news for as swim Ireland confirm Ireland have been awarded places in BOTH 4x200m freestyle and 4x100m medley relays

    Lacruz made it. have their first olympic boxing quota
  15. dodge
    Are the scores working on Ring A? I've Ring B on here so wasn't sure if the issue was just limited to that. Lucky win for McCormack but tight fight

    Losing in boxing is never a good idea! The 60kg field is pretty stacked so seeding will definitely play a part in who wins medals IMO

    Sorry. I forgot only 4 spots at middleweight
  18. dodge
    Yes, Potkonen will take the rankings spot If Harrington loses today though, she will have a box off for one of the final spots
  19. dodge
    There’s been a few like that in other divisions too But either way they’re down to the QF stage for the women’s middleweights and they’re all one win away from the Olympics (with them all getting a second chance too)

    Hamadouche v Harrington This will be worth watching. Hamadouche is a current professional world champion. Harrington is 2018 AIBA champion. At her peak Kellie was probably the second best boxer in the world but she was behind team mate Katie Taylor so took a while to come into the limelight and it would be a real shame if she didn’t reach the Olympics Hamadouche’s win yesterday was electrifying though. As good a fight as you’ll see

    I just had a look at her 2016 result! 1:03.13 Just behind the runner from Uzbekistan on time
  22. dodge
    Yes. She’s the top ranked European and can’t be caught Dubois still needs to win another fight of course
  23. dodge
    I'm watching live but won't all the time. Is there any live score or will we have to wait for the PDFs each day for results?
  24. dodge
    Indeed. The outside coaching has turned them into medal contenders now.

    If you asked 3 years ago I’d have said it was a fantasy agreed though, it’s great to see
