Paris Olympics 2024

Ah don’t worry, McIlroy will give us plenty of ammo tomorrow as he slinks into 4th or 5th place with a missed putt on the 17th

Absolutely. A message of congratulations from the local Member of Parliament as well. Regent House has produced some of the finest Ireland rugby internationals down through the years. Rhys continuing a terrific sporting tradition.

They’ll have to replace the statue of Edward Carson at Stormont with one of Luke Carson now.

An Angel Of The North type statue of Rhys McClenaghan on the motorway into Belfast would be most appropriate I feel

Congratulations from Lord Kilclooney too

Doyle what a run

Savage run from Doyle

Fair fucks to Doyle. He’s a pure battler. Hopefully Coscoran gets through now too.

A great run… What a day to be Irish

These repechage races are a great idea. Even if Cathal Doyle goes no further in the 1500 metres - and he probably won’t - he’ll always have won a 1500 metres race in the Olympics. A memory of a lifetime for an athlete.

When will Cathal Doyle ever experience crossing the line first in the Olympics again. The Repechage is a random addition but is really adding to things. The women’s 800m Repechage was absolutely cut throat earlier.

Like when GAA went from straight knockout and introduced the back door, it has added a bit of a spark to proceedings

Doyle has racing hardiness, even though the other two lads might be considered smoother & more naturally talented runners.

He certainly wasn’t taking any shit when he made the move anyway. I thought he was going to straight shove one lad off the track at one stage.
