Wonderful, I’ve a lump in my throat, can’t beat the athletics
Ah that’s great.
Great stuff.
No doubt the Brazilian correspondent will have a contrarian view tweeted shortly.
Barr seems like a sound guy. He was excellent there.

RTE cock up there trackside. 
Barr comes across as a thoroughly likeable chap. Maith an fear.

Happy for Barr. My favourite moment of the last olympics was staying up to watch him win his semi final at 1am or so

Phil Healy into the semi finals of her 200M.
People walking on the Telly now…
Tony ran in the famous mile race in Santry where Herb Elliott broke the World Record. The 60th anniversary of that race was this week. That would put Tony in his 80’s. Dan Carberry from Carlow was the youngest runner in that race, on his 19th birthday.

Awesome sprinting by the brilliant Dina Asher-Smith to turn fourth place into a thumping win for Great Britain in the women’s 4x100 relay.
She should just use the initial letter of her first name, because she’s some dasher.
