The marathon running equivalent of Barcelona in the 2011 Champions League final.
It would be class if the 4 lads behind competing for silver and bronze stayed together until the last 100m and had a flat out sprint cycling style for the medals

Battle for silver will be a cracker
That was a masterclass by Nageeye
The spirit of Benelux
Kipchoge is something else
Cherono must be seething. Silver and bronze are Beneluxian. I’ve never seen an athlete urging the guy behind him on like that.
I’d say the Kenyan athletes wouldn’t be too popular amongst the other competitors
One runner weeping there on a stretcher
2.08.38 would ordinarily be pedestrian for Kipchoge. Really highlights how oppressive those conditions were.

This must be important. RTE have had Peter Collins in studio with Eric Donovan and Kenneth Egan for at least the last 12 minutes. And the lads are wearing suits.

Touch of the wannabe McGregor about this wan.
That was a great round. I thought Harrington shaded it. But Ferreira gets it on three judges’ cards, Harrington two.
Surely Harrington wins the second round, she does!
Winning 20-18 on two cards, level on three.
Blessed there I thought.
That was some fight to be fair

Gonna be very tight
Third round very close. Very close. She only needs one of those three judges. What a fight. Real high quality stuff.
Good scrap.
Yeeeesssss! A gold medal for Kellie Harrington!
