That performance by the light weight double rowers was somewhat impressive.

What an Olympics we’re having.

And now we have a fantastic Gold Medal for Rhys McClenaghan in the Pommel Horse

this is unreal. Well done Rhys. A shame our sevens couldn't make the medals podium but we have Adeleke and other medal contenders to come in track & field.

Harrington, I think, has guaranteed us another medal. Silver, if I'm not mistaken.

McIlroy on the 6th is just three shots off the medals alongside about 10 other players in contention. five shots off the lead.
There are so many still in contention I wonder what happens if there are ties. medals shared? playoff holes? paper scissors rock?

McIlroy should consider employing Harrington as his mental
Coach.

Great performance Kellie Harrington. I'm surprised it was a split decision cause I thought she won all three rounds with the last round the closest.

On non Irish OLympics content, have to say that the most thrilling event for me were the two boxing matches last night with Cuba v France (think it was light weight) and the Ukranian lad v Kazakstan. Two wonderful bouts.
