@Mac bad day at the office
Bar Andrew Coscorans bizarre run Iād say it went exactly as it was expected to. None of the other 1500m runners were expected to semi. Jodie McCanns PB is a minute slower than most of the field. And as I said to @balbec, making a mixed final without Rhasidat was going to be an amazing result.
Weāll do well to win a single Athletics medal Iād say. Rhasidat will be top 5. Healy and Mageean making the 1500m final would be a great achievement. Outside of that, most others wonāt be near a final.

Olympic Track medals are special medals.
Weāve only won 4 I think in a hundred years.

Kate OāConnor is the other who could spring a surprise. Not a medal shot but one who could give us something to shout about.

Thatās it.
Wouldnāt Treacys even be a ātrackā?
He crossed the line on the track 
Robbie the racist also has a medal too but Iām not sure if that counts as track
Ah yeah, and I wouldnāt dispute it but more pointing out it could easily be seen as 3 given the uniqueness of the marathon.
What weāre saying is, track gold medals are rare on this island and casual 4 yearly watchers shouldnāt be losing the run of themselves

Arguably not track alright.
50m freestyle now
Will be a grim watch given weāve been spoilt by overachieving rowers and swimmers.
Mcevoy wins 50m freestyle. Its some spectacle

As you said above if we got into three finals it would be great and a medal for Rhasidat would be amazing.
