I know a good few of them. We are proud roasters 
A question I’ve been trying to find the answer to. The subs don’t go up on the podium, but do they get medals?
Is the “b” race like the Joe McDonagh?
Be class to see Brian Fay finish in the medals here and do a ‘whadda ya think of that Sonia O’Sullivan’ in the interview
Dunno, but i think he has won the Liffey swim at least once. I’d imagine that sort of thing would shorten a lads life expectancy.
A bit like Ciara Mageean on Monday, O”Flynn has seen a gap in the coverage for the Olympics and has gone for it.

Yes any athlete who runs a preliminary round in a relay gets a medal

So Caden gets one but McGrory not. That’s tough going for her. Is it the same in the mixed where only 1 change is usually allowed?
Yeah all relays. If you run you get a medal.

I find it a bit mad that Craig Doyle went from being a main anchor presenter on the BBC for the 2004 Olympics to being beaten by Brendan O’Connor in a competition to present a Saturday night chat show on RTE.
I’ve just read that the A&B finals for the 10k are seen as the same event. So quickest times win. RTE don’t seem to realize this given the slow pace of the A final
That’s a farce.

That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in a long time
Championships are about racing
Winning time in the B race was 28:24. Looks like the pace picking up means it won’t matter in the A race. Gidey looks very comfortable here.
Can you share the link please struggling to understand that

Swiss lad going around with the flag on his back. An awful cross to carry

That Lobalu lad has some back story too. They had a film about him at the Cannes festival a few years back. Was effectively without a country for years while residing in Switzerland before going through some long convoluted process to get Swiss citizenship.
