She was class in every fight and was up against the best. A super gold for Kellie.

Yes milk it for what it's worth, Kellie is a star.

Deserves every bit of it fair play to her.

Quote from: gawa316 on August 06, 2024, 10:39:33 PMJeez when the fella said split decision i thought they were going to dupe her

No shock the Korean judge tried too.. Could understand the 2nd round but Jesus 1/3 were clear for Harrington

Harold Disgracey

Brilliant from Kellie. What on earth was that Korean judge watching?

Delighted for Kellie. Double Olympic champion has some ring to it

Tipperary supplies the best looking athletes by a mile!


Not a patch on Sophie Becker.
Both are very good looking but I agree with Premier Emperor, Mawdsley is savage.

Looked up a few articles about best looking athletes at the Olympics (creepy I know). But mawdsley and becker no where to be seen and some of the stuff they had in was below average. And the paraguayian swimmer didn't feature either. What is journalism coming too????

Irelands fourth gold medal of the games. We won't see that again for a while. Rhasidat Adeleke still to pick up a medal of some colour as well I reckon.

Could we do something in the 4 x 100 relay.

Fantastic, well done Kellie, what a boxing legend she is.

I have to say one thing about Olympics, there is very little ego and bullshit like you see in world cup soccer. They athletes seem so grounded and genuinely delighted to be there doing their best. It's brilliant to see.

4x100? Don't think we have a team so no...

4x400? A final would be a huge achievement. They won't have Adeleke for the heats.

Wiffen is an unknown in the 10k in the Seine (if he can manage without falling ill). But a medal is certainly possible.

I don't think he's an open water swimmer?  Could be wrong but pool swimming and open water (lake, river, sea) are so different
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea
