Sharlene as good as though unless the entire 6th heat run quicker than her

There was something very un-Irish about Rhasidat there. She ran with pure brazen confidence. After winning pulling up there wasn’t an ounce of celebration or excitement. Very much job done and off we go. She has all the potential to be an absolute superstar.

Mighty stuff from Rhadisat.

Mawdesley loves the aul Camera, she’ll turn this time into Insta followers and endorsement deals

Any idea when the semi finals are on?

Paulino ate them alive there.

Be Jaysus!

She’s just surpassed 101k followers. I’d say she had about 20k a few months ago…

Ah, that’s major championship 400M Irish running we’re much more familiar with from O’Donnell

There’s one thing that cannot be overstated enough. Simply qualifying is an absolutely remarkable achievement. I think we are a country absolutely overflowing with both the talent and the wealth to succeed across the board at sport.

To make a final you have to be in the best 8 in the World.
If you were a top 8 golfer, footballer, rubby player or even something like Darts you’d be a national hero

I was talking about making the qualifying time just to be there.

Same principle sure. To be in the top 32 or whatever. Same applies.

We have no footballer in the top 100 in the World even

It’s sort of us, and sort of isn’t. The qualifying times or heights or whatever are different. You’d get plenty of nations with no representation because nobody made the times, and others who have several qualifying athletes not chosen, so it’s not as simple as top 32 or whatever, but the standards are very hard to achieve.

Here’s one for the IFSC PIRA brigade.
