Bit tough on her there mate, she had a really tough time with injuries and sickness, could well have been our best ever swimmer.

Don’t understand why we are so shit at swimming. Obviously a small population but we should have at least one decent medal hope you would think

Not enough kids swim/have access to pools?

More to do with no parents being that mad into it I suppose

272

Never forgotten would be more apt

273

Dont watch if you’re a squeamish bitch

They should have incentivised the building of home swimming pools during the Celtic tiger. Fuck it another half billion on the banks bad loans would have been a small price to pay for a few medals .

Australia has about 20 m people these days and has an exceptional record in Olympic events.

You’d be better served taking the half billion and giving it to them to figure out how we might win a few.

WTF are RTE doing showing fucking women’s 7’s when Behan is competing?!! Fuck you Nugent!
