  1. That’s awful. I feel so bad for the Hungarian duo who for a moment were told they had bronze and were celebrating. Then 1 minute later told they were actually 6th. Though they were quite far behind so wonder did they know deep down they didn’t have bronze. Either way, that’s not nice.
  2. Leonardo!!!! Yesss Indonesia!!! Wonderful gold medal
  3. I still remember Gunther Weidlinger’s faceplant into the steeplechase barrier many years ago now at Europeans I think. He broke his nose I think and looked like he almost took his head off his shoulders. Anyone else remember that or am I just too old?
  4. American distance runners on fire here. They are always as hard as nails and dig so deep to win those medals. Well done Rooks
  5. Well mission accomplished for Adeleke to get into the Olympic final. But she doesn’t look in great form. And it’s doubtful she’s keeping anything in store for the final, she didn’t have much in those legs to bring her to the line. Only thing can hope is that she didn’t execute well. But tall order as we all knew to get on that podium but that race really brings it home how big the task is. But she is in the final so the first step is done
  6. Who is in charge of counting the laps and ringing the bell? That’s twice at these Olympics the bell was rang a lap too late, unacceptable at this level.
  7. Next time let’s just organise the sailing regatta on the west coast of Ireland ok. No shortage of winds there
  8. That’s one way to make sure the pace picks up
  9. Now this is a true cross event. This is the drama the kayak cross was missing. Maybe this is Coe’s way of bringing cross country back with obstacles on each lap
  10. I would hope McCarthy and O’Donovan get the team award but the mixed relay European champions may get the nod. Or God forbid they give it to Armagh GAA or something
  11. Incredible! The pubs were packed in Dublin tonight for sure to cheer on Kellie! I never want this to end. Waited for years to have an Olympics like this and it’s actually happening
  12. Probably first ever Irish victory at Roland Garros… and probably the last
  13. Harrington has announced she will retire now as double Olympic champion! For years she played number 2 to Katie Taylor and would have won so much more had she not been in the shadow of Taylor in the same weight division. Amazing servant to Irish sport and at 34 years of age, she deserves to hang up those gloves and retire at the top. Thank you Kellie for so many great memories! Go collect that gold medal
  14. HARRRINGTON She did it!! Gold medal. Double Olympic champion!!! Yessssssss!!!!
  15. There’s probably footage of me at the rowing venue at these Olympics huddled under my zip up top and battering myself with sun cream every 30 mins
  16. I always notice Tentoglou’s skin is as pale white as my own. But I live in Ireland and he lives in sun soaked Greece
  17. Tentoglou wins again, was never in doubt. This man is an absolute legend. Congrats to Greece on a gold medal
  18. It’s hard to know what way Ingebrigtsen can run the 1500m now to win…. his finishing is not as good as Kerr in a slower race and now in a fast race he’s beaten too. A few years ago he could burn them off with this strategy but that advantage is gone now.
  19. Hocker!!!! I love this!! Don’t like Ingebrigtsen or Kerr so this is wonderful haha
  20. As someone who knows almost nothing about wrestling and only exposed to it during the Olympics, that was impressive by the Indian woman. Hope Vinesh can go for gold now
  21. The only thing we know for sure is that Hassan doesn’t care whether she has the silver or bronze https://www.eurosport.nl/atletiek/paris-2024/2024/paris-2024-zilver-of-brons-i-dont-care-sifan-hassan-na-diskwalificatie-faith-kipyegon_sto20026025/story.shtml
