As is the case with all of RTEās commentators at major international sporting events this summer including every Euro 2020 match, John Kenny and Nick OāHare are at the venue itself, in this case the Olympic swimming stadium in Tokyo.
You could do a lot worse than lie on a couch for two hours and watch swimming heat after swimming heat filled with swimmers youāve never heard of. In true TFK style, by the end of it all, youāll be an expert.
Andrew Breeās voice sounds very like that of Ian Paisley Junior. But the two have very different politics.
Proper joy on the faces of the hockey girls during the anthem. Delighted to be out there.
The Irish 16 is a flaking bit of stuff.
I know fuck all about hockey but Iād do a better job at commentating than Ger Canning.
YYUYUUEEEEEESSSS
Ger didnāt know what happened there.
Limerick girl scores
Hadnāt a fuckin clue
Heās just muttering āopportunityā, āopportunityā, āopportunityā.
Limerickās greatest sportsperson puts us ahead.
At the risk of being cancelled the pale ref appears to be favouring our gals
Nervy last few minutes here
Edit: I thought it was two halves rather than quarters ffs. Up 1-0 at half time
My 9 year old and 7 year old both do Taekwondo. They were excited all week about Woolley. Distraught and in tears for him as well after that heart breaking loss.
Hopefully Earl McCarthy will be in hand to give his thoughts on the swimming
A great analyst
I cannot believe this is not an Olympic sport.
And dressage is. Madness. Iām all for adding more events but without cutting others
Dressage is the best horsey sport, in that itās the one least likely to kill horses.
Most Olympic sports come from the military. Dressage is part of that.
It looks ridiculous to me tbf but there clearly is a skill in it.
Iād love to see some of these sports back in. Some are batshit
