Wiffen in control here.
It looks to me like the Armagh man is in pole position to win the gold medal in this event.
We always hear there’s no hype about gaa too. What’s the definition of ‘hype’ about a sporting event? How would it manifest itself?
Jaysus that’s lung bursting stuff.
Wiffen could have swam the last 50m on a lilo

RTE is geoblocked up here for all Olympic stuff so I was just going on what I see on here. Good to hear McClenaghan is getting some respect, a super athlete.
Good couple of days for Armagh.
He looked fairly comfortable there.
So during the race Hohn Kenny said that somebody else was the odds on favourite to win the event but after the race he said that Wiffen is definitely favourite
And he’s in the 10k swim as well, could he win the three Golds?
John Kenny is losing the run of himself, I think.
John Kenny is a dangerous menace and should be kept off the airwaves.

He has an unusual accent.
Half-nordie and half-english
Seems a sound sort. Obviously training in England.
Is he not from County Down?
Rte promotes rugby.
Every other sport is joint second.

John Kenny said he was from Armagh.
But I should know better than relying on him.
She finished very strong.
Great swim there from Ellen Walshe to make the 400m medley final.

We will have that debate when we see what colour medal he gets! He certainly played his Gaelic football for a Down club, but his swimming was with an Armagh club.
