I think if you have no one of the required standard it's discretionary who you send at games like these as per eric the eel etc...

An eel would have been ok this is a doing the lad no good, I'd have finished that swim before him and I'm not a strong swimmer

[haranguerer]

Its hardly doing him much harm - hes competed at the commonwealth games which is more than any of us can say.

[imtommygunn]

Yeah well it was a worry with eric the eel in the olympics whether he would drown swimming the distance he had to swim and then they made him do it twice...

There's A and B standards and then it's up to the countries themselves if no one makes either of these. At least I think that's the way it works in the athletics. Triathlon may be a bit different though not 100%.

Well I don't know about you but being lapped in the first discipline at this level is a big thing. Fair play is right but I'd have thought to get on at these games there would be some sort of qualifying time before entering a athlete don't you think?

I'll be lying up in Vegas while that one is one MR! No, haven't done any this year. Did the marathon and a lot of cycling but never had time to do any triathlons so far. Hopefully get at least one in before the end of the season. I go on holidays on the 3rd of aug and back on 17th so any before or after that then let us know.

Conor went to St.Pats Benny, has a Dalton Cup medal. Was in the same class as my wee bro, was always a great swimmer. Remember him doing well at the Triathlons at school level. Did he recently take it back up again or has he been plodding away all along.

Don't know but he has plenty potential, what age is he? Thought he was brilliant on Thursday and may have potential to push on to the elite stuff.

The brownlee boys just have it great swimmers very good on the bike but the running is up there with some top runners over that distance. How they sprint so hard for the first mile after the bike run is the difference to opening up a gap, class

He'd be 29 or so. Just an observation, does he suffer from Alopecia? I remember years ago noticing he had issues with his hair growth. I ask as my 11 year old daughter does suffer from it and its great for her to see athletes doing so well. She watched the English track cyclist Joanna Roswell win gold yesterday which gave her a real lift.

He would be good mates with a few of the boys from Tuna Triathlon club in lurgan. I think his da is one of the coaches at the club as well.
