  1. If you count the athletes named though they name 22 individual quotas (including Phil Healy) but the OFI say there’s a team of 25 So they’ve named a 4 person relay team of Healy + 3 others with 2 alternates
  2. This is not true. In the UK (and by extension Ireland), they have their own Eurosport 1 feed too there’s obviously some common programming but it’s definitely a specific UK fees
  3. There’s the athletics team. So I think we are done now. Leon Reid included. No Adeleke in the relay
  4. There's only Cavendish that can sprint. So DQT won't get any help at all Until Movistar or Total Direct do something silly again
  5. O'Sullivan hasn't really developed in the senior ranks though. He wasn't close to qualify on his own merits. Now clearly I'm no expert but perhaps the internal qualification wouldn't allow it either
  6. After a gap of one games, Team is back in the Olympics and we have selected Derek Burnett in men's trap. This is Derek's 5th Olympics with a top ten in 2004 his best result so far. A former individual European medalist and team world champion, Burnett was also the only Irish shooter to compete in 2004, 2008 and 2012
  7. Derek Burnett officially selected in men's trap
  8. They're just trying to get people to watch what should be another boring sprint stage with only one sprinter left in the Tour!
  9. Just to wrap a bow on the relays, Ireland officially announced its swimming team today and didn't mentioned the mens 4x100m medley team They've used the 4x200m freestyle to bring butterfly swimmer Brendan Hyland to the games with 2 relay only swimmers It's the largest ever Irish swim team going to an Olympics with 9 https://olympics.ie/team-ireland-swimming-team-announced/
  10. 9 swimmers officially selected. Looks like they've used the relay team to get Brendan Hyland into the butterfly event. Shane Ryan listed as a relay participant too. Only 2 relay only swimmers https://olympics.ie/team-ireland-swimming-team-announced/ Others including McSharry, Wiffen and Walshe can swim their 2nd event too
  11. Team Ireland is nearing completion. We are currently at 91 (without reserves in rugby and hockey) with athletics still to be added: Hockey 16 (+3 reserves), Rowing 13, Rugby 12 (+1 reserve), Swimming 9, boxing 7, cycling 7 (track 4, road 3), equestrian 7 (eventing 3, jumping 3, dressage 1), golf 4, sailing 3, diving 2, triathlon 2, gymnastics 2, judo 2, canoe slalom 1, shooting 1, modern pentathlon 1, badminton 1, taekwondo 1 Athletics will be likely in the 26-30 range and will be confirmed soon
  12. The 4 seeds for each weight have now been confirmed. http://boxing.athlete365.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/20210706_Tokyo2020_Seeding.pdf
  13. Suits me as I have Discovery Plus. The app is kinda clunky (particularly on sky) but they might have a dedicated Olympics section to help streamline it
  14. They had 28 in London including a relay team in Swimming and a mens handball team (who of course won silver in 2008). it's crazy to see only 3 universal spots this time round
  15. Oliver Dingley and Tanya Watson officially listed by FINA https://resources.fina.org/fina/document/2021/07/05/b9a5de03-6a1b-4037-9c84-00b16dd4016c/Diving-Qualified-Athletes-for-Tokyo-2020.pdf
  16. I find it hard to imagine that there'll be any action this year without a live feed. There mightn't be many channels showing it but it'll have a live feed for someone!
  17. Maybe they wanted him in the programme so they can give him the good stuff
  18. Indeed. It was a tough standard but 11 got it while she’s talking about being denied a medal by the rules
  19. Sean Kelly, who won the Vuelta, dozens of Grand Tour stages, multiple monuments and was world number one for years still says his day in Yellow is one of the highlights of his career
  20. It’s usually in the last day or so before the boxing starts. They have to make weight
  21. boxers defo there. A few of them posted videos on Instagram, delighted as they flew first class
  22. Confirmation for Men's Rory McIlroy Shane Lowey Women's Leona Maguire Stephanie Meadow
  23. Watching the cycling here on Eurosport (UK) (in the background for now) and they just had a pretty long ad "watch every unmissable moment at the Olympics only on Discovery Plus" Didn't see the small print but I think it's bad news for those of you with the Eurosport player in the UK
