Brilliant from English. Gambled and if he didn't have to tangle with one or two lads might have been in. with a chance of higher.

Reminded me of centro. Don't mind the box. Stay on the rail and it'll open up.

Lavin a small q. Small chance that she'll medal tbf. Yeah, would like to see Gressier win. Optimistic with that top 6 or 7, Guapo.

Agree with your eloquent English comment!

LOL, I've been away living in a tent the week of Ireland's best athletics meet in a very long time. Two medallists, a host of finals, PB;'s, national records and loads of new emerging talent being shown how to do it by the old-timers. From 100m to 10,000m, there's hope all the way through.

I've been stuck to YouTube all day catching up. Epic stuff.

Delighted for English and Mageean - what superb tactical races they ran - both very focused on the favourites in their races and the tactics those favourites were likely to employ. Real effort and real racing intelligence from them both, they make you proud to be Irish.

Three of the RTE commentators all previous medalists Sonia Rob and Dervla are Cork and the only Gold is won by two Corkmen Reflection of Corks inordinate contribution to Irish Athletics
