Korea's scores have been shameful.

Congratulations Brazil and Germany for securing team quotas

As ever

Maybe we will receive a tripartite invitation here

Can someone remind me, if Germany qualify a team, it means that only the bottom 2 unqualified nations will go home without any quota?

Yeah I thought so

Edit: Never mind

It's back again now

Hey, don't worry.... we all have our moments

She is from Guatemala

Very poor scoring on floor

Rio 2016 will be her SEVENTH Olympics!! I remember thinking she was old in Athens 2004! Here we are in 2016 and she is still putting in top class performances on the international stage. I admire her commitment, it amazes me....25 years ago she won her first World Championship title.... the same year Red Star Belgrade won the European Cup in football, Miguel Indurain was winning his first Tour de France and Mike Powell and Carl Lewis were having a world record duel in the men's long jump! Her longevity is just amazing

Fingers and toes crossed that Ellis O'Reilly can become Ireland's first ever female Olympic gymnast

And I'm inside the cover of my bubble once more

Hey, don't burst my bubble

Wow!! That's great news, thanks I'm glad because he is a decent gymnast on the floor, hopefully he can do make a nice result in Rio!

40th place for Kieran Behan, I'm guessing his Olympic hopes are gone now?

My prediction for the Asian qualifiers: Group A: Uzbekistan, Iran to qualify automatically; South Korea to play-offs Group B: Japan, Australia to qualify automatically; Saudi Arabia to play-offs

Yeah, RTÉ will have live online streams too, they had 12 online channels for London 2012.

Here this video pretty much sums it up.... and believe me, this is just the tip of the iceberg . Well actually, that was just a joke video but it might as well have been the real thing RTÉ are shameful beyond words, just look at how they treat Eurovision year after year, making sure we send the worst possible "candidate" and openly stating that we can't afford to win so a place in the final will be a good result

RTÉ are a joke as with everything they are involved with..... Jimmy Magee will be commentating on coverage for what must be his 100th Olympics and he's probably the least bad thing about the coverage . Do I really have to go into details TV3 are god awful.... and yet they will probably be a step up from RTÉ . Sky Sports' GAA coverage is just B-A-D. Anti-British bias? Not really, I think that's usually reserved for the English team at the World Cup.

Ahh, good to hear. Kerry is a great spot to visit. Yeah I'm from Donegal . I never thought I'd live to see the day when the Healy-Rae name made it onto a sports forum....seems like they are taking over

Haha . Hey, I can't steal what is given to me for free

Ahh, so you're a Kerryman? The final is on Sunday week, so the 24th I think. Pat Spillane, Joe Brolly and Colm O'Rourke.... God help us for yet another year of their input
