It’s interesting that you believe the problem is with the countries that people wish to move to, and not with the countries that some are desperate to leave
 
None of this is relevant to an English born Australian returning to represent his native country of course

As we say here: “never not at it…”

Hi, idiot here, cross country running and cyclo cross should ABSOLUTELY be in the winter games but the same 20 odd countries are afraid of opening up their games to outsiders 
 
They have their rule about games being needed to be played on snow and ice but IMO that’s a far more ridiculous idea than allowing cross country running in. 
 
 

1. 10! 10! 10! Across the board! They were Fantastic, Unbelievable 
 
 
2. The medals were a surprise, I was hoping for Olympic Diploma, but Adriana and Jean Pierre excelled. Heartbroken for Kevin Cordón in Badminton, it was his last Olympic Games, 5 times.
 
3. Goal Surpassed
 
4. None, it will be the same until they fix the NOC
 
5. Luis Grijalva, he trains and lives in the US, has been 4th place at Diamond League in 5,000m so let's hope.

Our performance in boxing is not hard to explain. All boxers except Moorehouse were simply beaten by a better fighter on the day. I’d have expected Gráinne Walsh to have beaten the Hungarian before the fight but she fought poorly. Aoife O’Rourke wasn’t robbed as she fought terribly on the day and in no way looked an medalist. The rest can have no arguments about their losses. Qualifying 10 was a great achievement but most people I know expected at most 2 and maybe on a good day 3 medals. The class is just not there. I’d be telling the three Walsh’s, O’Rourke, Lehane and Clancy that LA is not in their plans. 

No distance runners are going to be at their best in a heat
 
I’m not sure what you’re expecting but none of the 1,500m lads were expected to get out of the heats. Doyle and McCann didn’t even get the qualifying time 
 
Jodie McCann literally had the slowest PB in her heat 
 
The only one who can be disappointed with their day today can be Waddilove and Dickson and Cian O’Connor. Everyone else was at/above expectations 

I think your lightweight women have a chance. Mainly because that race is usually crazy. Olympics in 2021 was one the strangest ever. I expect GB to win easily but Greece are very much in medal contention IMO
 
4 Irish crews have made finals. A record amount. I think we’ll win 2 medals 

I remember at the start of the last Olympics in Tokyo he called it that we'd win 4 gold medals in rowing 😂😂

If we use the results of each prelim races (with only the 10 boats remaining included) and use them as the final position in the medal race, this is what would happen in skiff/49er;
 
Gold
win it 9 times, win it 3 times  
 
Silver 
win it 5 times,
win it twice,
  once 
 
Bronze
 twice
 once 
 
 
Spain win a medal every time
Ireland and NZ win 7 times
USA 4 times
Croatia 3 times
Poland twice
GB once
