Impressive run by Mayo's Sinead Diver in the Marathon today - top 10 finish for a 44 year old

An interesting one, grew up in Dingle. Just won silver for GB.

Are her parents Irish?

How does someone grow up in Dingle and feel British? I must have missed that Orange hall when I was there.

This doesn't sound like a Dingle accent to me.

Maybe she's like Dermot Gallagher. Talks like that to a British interviewer. When RTE come along it's "Yerra, lookit Dizz. Team Gee Bee will be the clear underdog".

And only took it up 6/7 years ago. Why though was she able to finish ahead of a 'career' athlete like Fionnuala McCormack? Was she more acclimatized to the hot conditions?

McCormack gave birth 7 months ago. Has had 2 children from she ran in Rio. 25th in that heat for McCormack given all that wasn't a bad result given the circumstances

She's faster. McCormick is a fantastic athlete but she just doesn't quite have the speed to breakthrough at this level. She has as much character as any athlete I have seen with cross country being her game when it's muddier.

Sinéad Diver as in Tom Daly on rte. They can't get our Ulster surnames right. Couid never pronounce Bonner either .

The Irish forms of the names are often helpful for pronunciation, Bonner being a translation of Mac Cnáimhsí, and Ó Duibhidhir giving a guide to Diver.

Yep 100 percent

[StPatsAbu]

This farce 'handball' being an Olympic sport is an insult to the art of real handball

[laoislad]

That was a great fight that was, brilliant from Kellie Harrington.
Gold medal 🥇!!!!!

[Capt Pat]

Great fight. A great performance from Kellie and great scenes from Portland Row. To win the fight after losing the first round was really impressive.

[weareros]

That was as good as you will ever see. She fought brilliantly against a game and cocky opponent. And great scenes from Portland Row.

[gerrykeegan]

The second round was brilliant. She's a class act.

[gallsman]

Brilliant performance in a really tough fight. Worked her out in the first and picked her off at will in the second and third, knowing she'd have to eat a left hand bomb or two.

Congrats Kellie!

[Cunny Funt]

Up there with the best ever boxing performances by a Irish person in the Olympics. Well done Kellie
