Only realistic chance of a medal is in show jumping (Jessica Curtin) I reckon. Let us hope the horse isn't on drugs again this time round

Paul Hession could make a final the way he's been running recently.

 

[headhunter]

Heard of him, but don't know much about his recent form. Will give a look-up.

Stephen, you do realise that Jessica Kurten is currently challenging a positive drug test against her horse, and because of that her participation isn't exactly guarranteed

 

[headhunter]

And yet still is probably our best hope of a medal tbf.

 

[Steulen]

No distance runners this time?

 

[headhunter]

Nothing that would trouble the medals. Eileen O'Keeffe our best hope in athletics came 6th in the hammer at the worlds last year.

An Irish boxer got through to the next round, he won by something like 19 points.

 

[headhunter]

Kenneth Egan 20 points

A good day by our standards. Our first male swimmer in 100 years to reach a semi-final (Bree) and we had Eoin Rheinisch going so close to winning a medal in today's Olympic Kayak K1 Slalom final. Finshed 4th beat into that position by the last guy to run

Paddy Barnes into light-flyweight semi-final......MEDAL!!!!

 

[headhunter]

Another MEDAL!! Egan wins 7-0
Hession finshes 5th, hard luck to him, great performance.
