A really enjoyable few days.

Great to see you fully acknowledge the Limerick hurlers as being true greats

Rhasidat is capable of running in the mid 48s for the 400m I think within the next 3 years.

The show jumpers are nailed on certainties for a medal anyway at least that’s something.

Pole Vault final still going on RTE Player. 2 left and the other lad trying to play mind games with Duplantis

Clears 6.10 for a CR with ease

Ever the crowd entertainer, the bar goes to 6.25 for a World Record attempt

She’s supposed to be lovely in person too. I was glad she won.

I think Adeleke will get gold at the Olympics. She’s an absolute thoroughbred.
I think they should do the same as the euros and run in everything.
