He presents loads of soccer
Explains a lot as to why I never see him
The Fijian women more or less assaulted Canadian femininity there.

Sheās in 14th at the minute with two more races tomorrow. Sheāll need another big performance tomorrow to make it into the top 10 for the medal race. if she managed to grab a medal from here it would be poetic justice after she led in London 2012 from the off but came up short in the medal race.
The backlash took longer than expected in fairness.
Weirdos 
Jesus the commitment that goes into rowing even at a national level for junior crews is incredible, fuck all glory in it either, you donāt get feted in the pub or on the street for kicking a point in a local final, just do it for themselves and their āteamā
Thereās nothing like it,
Olympic Gold, fuck it CMAAAAN

Thank fuck for Eurosport.
There is tennis on RTE 2 now.
RTEās decision to show golf from the world feed last night instead of the swimming finals including the menās 100 metres freestyle - where we had an actual world class commentary team present at the venue - is the final straw.
Jihad against McBennett.
Can someone put up the rte clip of the rowing ?
They gave a grand interview. Two lads secure in themselves and fairly laid back ā there wasnāt enough 'i suppose ā or ājuāknowā thrown in for some people.

The skateboarding is the highlight so far
That 800m freestyle looked unreal
Indeed, the best lightweight rower in the world, Olympic gold and silver, world champion, qualified physio, training doctor
But yeah, first and foremost a weirdo and an oddball
