As far as I know he hasn’t been part of RTE staff since about 2015 or so but he tends to pop up occasionally on the national broadcaster for major athletics competitions on a freelance basis. He was definitely commentating as part of the RTE team for the 2016 Olympics despite having left by then.
For Tokyo I think he was doing the world feed as was Ryle Nugent rather than being part of the RTE team.
I always liked his relaxed style.
An improvement but disappointing to finish behind the Finish.
Rhys McLeneghan has just won a World Championship Gold on the pommel horse on RTE2. He seemed to have gone off the boil completely since the Olympics. Fair play to him
Darren Frehill in the hotseat here. This could get interesting
Some months ago I had half a notion of attending this as a bucket list type of thing, it’s in Liverpool which is as close as a major competition will ever get to these shores.
Brilliant stuff by Rhys.
I remember he was distraught after the Olympics. Fair play to him for getting back on the horse.
