In other news Jack McMillan did a declan rice and swam for GB this evening in the relay (they won). Swam for Ireland in the last olympics

Can we claim that?

Unused sub for final but I suppose they all count.

As much as there's a bit of a battle on here whether Wiffen is from Armagh or Down, it's great to see the Bel Tel and Newsletter doing almost everything possible to hide the fact he won the gold racing for Ireland and pulling out old pictures of him with no tricolour on his swim cap..

Probably about to get worse if two more GB golds won in rowing, Wiffen and Rhys grab two more for Ireland. It will be 6 golds for our wee country the greatest little country on earth.

Mind you the BelTel cover (not the write up) was impressive - best of any Irish newspaper. Ireland was very much emblazoned on that image.

He's a likeable character.

Just looking at the Gallagher fight. The whole thing seems to be they are rewarding the attackers, but we don't seem to have as many of those fighters this time out.

Another medal for Ireland. Kellie Harrington guaranteed at least a Bronze now.

Another medal for Ireland. Kellie Harrington guaranteed at least a Bronze now.

She was very comfortable too. It'll take a very good boxer to beat her.

She's meeting a professional boxer next, be interesting to see how it goes

That's 3. Great chance for at least 2 of the rowing teams. The sailors are 2nd going into their last race tomorrow, McClenaghan  has a great chance in the pommell horse and thats before we get to the rest of the boxers, athletics and golf. Also the 2 swimming medalists have more events to come. 6 (London) was our best ever Olympics - should top that this year

Professional champion too but there is no difference in top amateurs and professionals really.

I assumed once you turned pro in boxing you couldn't enter the Olympics.

[Milltown Row2]

Plenty of professional sports people at the Olympics
