not a chance in hell.

The reasons for the us sprint team's hatred of bolt and his teammates is well known

i know because the American sprinters wouldnt touch performance enhancing drugs, but you obviously know more about it than the testers

That was the most stunning Olympic moment for me since Bob Beamon's long jump in 1968. Same sort of gasp-inducing performance.

Unreal performance in the 100 metres.
Felt he could have beat the world record by a lot more if he hadnt been cruising & showboating in the last 20
Awesome as the yanks might say......

If you were such a big fan surely you would know.........

Had Bolt not decided to sit down, have a cup of tea and scratch his arse before crossing the line he could have finished the 100m before he started.

Can we believe it was a clean win?

If is isn't then it's time to cancel the Olympics and divert the funds to promote hurling in Leitrim and Sligo.

Never actually said I was a "big fan"!
I made a simple request on a public forum, and if you couldn't help then why did you feel the need to reply with a sarcastic comment?

I actually have a life an cannot keep track of the Olympic schedule and times hence the reason I post on this thread and ask how the Irish are doing, atheletes etc... are not my forte (more a GAA and soccer man) I enjoy the Olympics but the times do not suit me this year, hope that helps!

I have not found the definitive schedule listed anywhere.
But you can go to the RTE Olympic site

and click on the picture and you will get all the Irish track and field athletes listed

Boxing though is not there.
I think that starts Tuesday.
