OlympicIRL

Apparently the Brazilian athlete knocked it out of Felix's hands

USA may well get advanced to the final though, good decision to finish the race.

USA drops the baton on the relay.... oldest story ever told

Good to see plenty of Irish fans at the stadium to cheer on Thomas

Nice to see "Sean Mac's pub, Riverstown Sligo" getting a nice advertisement behind the women's high jumpers

Yeah, because Nikitin really won that fight . Disgusting Games, disgusting sport. All medal winners can be very happy

They didn't have many outright favourites that I can think of. Carolina Marin is among the favourites in women's singles badminton but not THE favourite as such.

Yeah, it's usually the other way about.... more silvers and bronze but not many golds. This time they are getting golds but not many other medals.

What happened to the French user Ben? I've become so used to it that I'm still expecting him to be asking who won Olympic quotas in the different events

Poor Ta Lou and Ivory Coast . But she can be so proud, what a wonderful Olympics for her

What a great long jump final!

Justin Gatlin out

Don't forget he also had a physical fight with Mehdi Baala at some championships on the track, what a guy

Now here for you all, a little insight into Irish sport. Not only did our boxing federation force out our national coach and destroy our Olympics, those at the top are also disgracing themselves . When I hear people complaining about their national federations and Olympic councils, I just think, wow, they re lucky to have such good officials. Try living the life of an Irish sports fan http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-37107450

I am delighted, wow!!

Baaaarrrr!!! Woohoo!! National record and into the final
