I wasn’t sure yesterday when I was watching it if it was the various shot putters and hammer throwers that were making them look better. I’m glad you’ve confirmed that there are some tidy birds competing.

Meanwhile in the walk it looks like the French cunt has some sort of injury and has cracked. The Russian has stormed clear but Rob appears to be struggling and is in fifth.

The women’s pole vaulting yesterday was awesome. They showed close up slow motion replays of the floating over the bar part of the jump, which mainly focused on some very toned arses in tiny shorts. Mesmerising.

The French cunt has had a miraculous recovery and is leading the walk at the 36km mark.

Heffernan has disappeared and the commentator isn’t sure if he is still competing. He’s out of the top 5 anyway.

Heffernan comes through the 36km mark in 6th over 4 minutes behind.

Heffernan has withdrawn. Hopefully RTE don’t show us any more of it.

[QUOTE=“Juhniallio, post: 1000638, member: 53”]The walking is on now on rte2. Rob the racist in 4th so far. One of the russians ahead seems to be almost jogghing. I’m predicting he gets a card soon.
Just through 12 k of 50.[/QUOTE]
Can you call him by his proper name please? Its Robbie the Racist.

Paul Robinson qualifies for the 1500 metres final :clap:

Ciarán Ó Lionáird has also qualified for the final as a fastest loser.

I don’t want to upset the walking fraternity on here, so I’ll have to give that a miss.

I see the French steeplechase winner was disqualified for pulling off his top in celebration during the last 200m. Idiot.

:clap:

Meh, it was his 3rd Euros Gold, he’s a cocky wee shit, I’d say the medal means SFA to him and he’ll enjoy the notoriety of what he’s done more than the medal. The guy who got gold knows he doesn deserve it and would most likely have been happier with silver. It’ll no doubt gnaw at him til his dying day.

Delighted to see O Lionaird go through, its been a shit year or two for him, I think he’s the real deal.

What ever happened the lad from Kilkenny who was a decent high jumper? Half covered in piercings and tattoos. Was an alright sort but a bit weird. Was he plagued by injury or am I mistaking him with someone else?

Adrian O’Dwyer. He never recovered from his meltdown in Sydney Olympics. He’s into power lifting now. He was on an rte documentary a while back about gyms.
