  1. At the European event, France beat Ireland by 19-12 but since then France appear to have invested in their team. Shamefully, as far as I'm concerned, Ireland have pretty much ignored sevens rugby
  2. But you can't change that now as plenty of countries have targeted this meet to qualify. They can argue that there hasn't been enough races available to improve their ranking. And lets face it, relay rankings are not a great indicator at all
  3. Once they made it an Olympic qualifier, with certain nations targeting the event, it was always going to go ahead. Most of those who've pulled out (all?) are already qualified. The world relay medals don't have that much prestige yet so the focus is on qualification.
  4. Indeed. World athletics relay too.
  5. Additions in the last month Sailing - 49er - Probably Dickson & Waddilove Swimming - 100m Breast - Mona McSharry Swimming - 800m free - Daniel Wiffen Athletics - marathon - Aoife Cooke Next month sees Diving and Rowing with chances
  6. Women’s marathon Aoife Cooke - 2:28.36 She’s the second Irish woman to get the marathon standard
  7. FWIW I think the German outfits look great. Even aside from their message and their choice, I just think they look cool
  8. On the contrary, for the first time ever National TV will show the finals Rhys McClenaghan is top qualifier for pommel Adam Steele qualifies for all around final in 20th. First time an Irish man has done that earlier Emma Slevin qualified for the women’s all around Oh and looks like Megan Ryan will go to Tokyo if North Korea pull out as expected. Exciting times for Irish gymnastics
  9. An amazing 27th for Emma Slevin. First Irish woman to qualify for the senior all around final
  10. Daniel Wiffin - 800m free 7:52.68 First race of the Irish trials and a qualifying time https://www.swimireland.ie/news/irish-national-team-trials-2021-guide edit: followed by Mona McSharry - 100m Breast - 1:06.95 the former world junior champion is the first Irish woman to get a standard.
  11. I'll predict 3 for Ireland - one gold (O'donovan/McCarthy in lightweight double sculls in rowing) Somewhat realistic chances in rowing, equestrian sport, gymnastics, sailing and boxing. Outside chances in a few other sports.
  12. Ireland’s biggest hope for Olympic gold is O’Donovan and McCarthy in the lightweight double and they pretty handily won gold here so that’s a good sign our women’s 4 haven’t qualified yet but silver here shows they’re in good form our men’s pair were a big disappointment finishing 7th overall
  13. I think has secured the quota in 49er. 24 points ahead of Belgium with only the medal race to come
  14. After 15 races 90 119 128 130 Belgium gained 14 points on Ireland today. One day to go.
  15. After a year away... A quick update to say that we've officially added one boxer (Brendan Irvine) and unofficially another (Kurt Walker will be in through the rankings). No one else but a lot more athletes are in qualifying spots and we'll hopefully add 2 sailors this week
  16. Belgium finished last in Race 11 and didn't start race 12. Ireland now has two boats ahead of Italy (3 boats) and Belgium. Ireland's lead over Italy is 38. I think they have to avoid any more disqualifications though!
  17. I don’t know exactly but I suspect the same. 3 more races each over the next 2 days (if weather allows) and a medal race on Friday The opening news story on the official site said ‘about 18’ races but I think that was based on 6 days of 3 races rather than 5 of 3 and a single medal race
  18. 49er is actually 16 races. 3 tomorrow 3 Thursday 1 medal race Friday The split into gold and silver fleets has happened
  19. For 49er, there's 17 planned. The gold and silver split is after 9 (today) with racing tomorrow and Thursday in that. Final medal race on Friday
  20. After race 6 in the 49er 21 35 39 44 46 46 are all effectively out Looks like it'll be between and and discard is only 8 so they have some breathing room over 's 17 and 's 16
  21. I presume it was a typo above. 2019 WCH is the only semi logical answer but as has been said, that’s if there’s an Olympics at all...
  22. Rowing Ireland has been informed that the Olympic qualifying regatta has been cancelled and will not be rescheduled. They’re waiting on info from world rowing as to how final places will be allocated https://www.rowingireland.ie/olympic-qualification-regatta-and-world-cup-iii-cancelled/
  23. I wasn’t commenting on the fight, and I don’t really mind what happened just found it funny that one poster here gave 10-8 in one round and another went 8-10 in the next. I’d like to know if it ever happened
  24. I doubt you’ll find any fight in history that was 10-8 to one fighter followed by 10-8 to the other. That’s a little task for anyone there looking for something to do. Find that amateur fight
