Is this not an olympic year… Are the euros always on a few weeks before the Olympics?

I had no idea they were on but I’m very proud

Are you for the high jump?

Magnificent stuff. The look on Tom Barr’s face when he learned his time. His was the leg that won it but brilliant from all of them.

The Mrs got a text from Chris O Donnells Dad Phil 5 mins before the race… She knew him from college. Luckily we just got to catch it on the player.

Adeleke destroying Klaver mentally great for later in the week too.
Brilliant stuff.
You’d have to wonder what that Cillian Greene lad was thinking, concentrating on the Olympics

Is this usually on so near the Olympics?

Used to be every 4 years (so would fall the opposite even numbered year to the Olympics) but is now every 2 years.

Caught me out so it did, and I’ve missed the greatest sporting Irish moment in history

Those 20 min dog walks are a curse

I’m just heading out there now

I couldn’t be happier for Tom Barr. He’s had a helluva journey and while a handsome man isn’t half as much a ride as the women. He’s deserved this.
