Yeah I read that yesterday - it's all a bit strange. He doesn't seem 100% credible or something.

For sure - we;ll have to do a similar article previewing the Ethiopian selection

Meanwhile, there's hope for us yet lads - Kipchoge has survivied recent poor form the be selected on the Kenyan Olympic team fror the marathon in Paris Kipchoge Munyao Kipruto Kiplagat - 1st reserve Peres Jepchirchir continues her unstoppable run towards the women's title: Jepchirchir Obiri...

LOL, either that or persuade Roy Keane to issue his latest opinion of Erling Haaland at half time and RTE would go full court press

The prevalence of the GAA here and the low-ambition thinking it engenders means stuff like the relay medal achievement will never really be appropriately noted by most. The media are as bad - every successful athlete is analysed in terms of how much GAA they played "before they switched their...

I’d say you’ll need a bit lower than that C. Mid to low 48 I reckon

Nice for Adeleke to whip Klaver in the head to head. Adeleke slaughtered her.

RTE meanwhile, focusing on the main sports story of the day - Keane v Haaland. They are pitiful.

Wow, just wow! 48.45 is nuts! Looking forward to watching the race later - looking a the splits, they were super-close all the way.

If you get a chance, look at mixed relay heat last night at around the the 600m mark - just after they’ve merged and Adeleke is moving to the front. She absolutely towers over the other runners - looks a foot taller than some of them. Surely, being able to harness that extra physical capacity...

Yeah, looks like a complete dope of an official had Barr out in 8 - the lanes assignments are supposed to be gone after 600 metres. Fair dues to Adeleke for seeing him - she had every right to be running straight for the line - there could have been disaster there.She still ran a great split...

LOL, not a word on RTE even this morning.Their "sports" department didn't even bother staying up to watch. In August they'll be all over these teams like they somehow are interested.

Some running from both teams - the women were fastest overall too, although they had a real race of it with the Brits. Two sub-50's for Adeleke in 2 hours. Fantastic. Two NRs (y) Yanks DQ'd from the 4X400 will open that one up a bit...

This is defo the “A” team for the women’s 4X400 - Mawdsley, Becker, Adeleke and the rejuvenated Healy. Mawdsley and Adeleke going in the mixed too, along with Greene and the Peter Pan of Irish athletics, Tom Barr. Come on Ireland 🇮🇪

Just checked her splits there - a smokin’ 1:02 for the ‘fly but a fairly polite 1:18 for the breast stroke.
