I’d gladly take any colour medal for our guys tomorrow! Always remember that medal race for Annalise in 2012 when she had a 4-way battle for gold and finished in 4th in the end. I was dreaming of a surprise gold for us and we ended up in the dreaded 4th. I will not be greedy this time and if we can sneak bronze I would sign on the dotted line now

And if we get another boxing medal alongside Harrington we’ve done well. Although more than 2 medals was a possibility, 0-2 medals seems to be the middle ground of what we could expect, IMO.

Don’t want to jinx it yet but Dickson and Waddilove are leading race 12 and could claw back some ground. Fingers crossed!

Harrington does it again! Olympic medalist again and our third medal of these Games secured

Medal for Harrington again for second consecutive Olympics. And Ireland’s third medal of these Games secured

Congrats to all our Argentinian friends on here on a gold medal! Honestly so happy for you all especially given the setback at the start of the Games in the rugby. These are the things that make me love the Olympics. I hope it helps to brighten the mood again.

They are still in with a shout of a medal and to be honest that’s more than most would have expected before the Games at this point so they’ve done extremely well to put themselves in this position.

So happy for Guatemala and our own @Fer GUA. Enjoy the celebrations

Great start for us. Expect New Zealand to surge clear soon though when their main events come and Denmark will get a good spread of medals and likely golds as well. Though if we hit most of our gold medal chances too then we could sneak our way right up the table this time. Here’s hoping

What a night for us Irish and what a swim by Wiffen! All the mishaps we endure over the years makes these moments so special. Have a good night everyone, come on Ireland!

It’s an amazing feeling believe me !

OMG Wiffen did it!!! I am so happy I am in tears. Gold medal!!

Yay, congrats for the medal Guatemala

From your description sounds like New Zealand.

Go on Mona you legend!!

Excuse for a second folks while I clear my lungs….. Yessssssssssssssss!!!!!!!! Ireland has an Olympic swimming medal!! And more importantly our first medal of these Olympics

I was at the badminton yesterday and have to say it was my least favourite viewing experience so far. It was very distracting and hard to follow what was going on at times.

Right? It’s even harder to watch than the nerve-wracking showjumping.

One of Rhys’ main rivals for a medal in pommel, the Jordanian fell during his routine and won’t make the final with only 12.466.
