  1. Jesus that was fucking spectacular! Bag of nervous over gymnastics, lets go the Irish 🇮🇪

  2. The lad moved like poetry on the pommel horse. What an absolute hero.

    Another gold for Ireland. What an incredible games for us. So proud of them all.

  3. We’re pretty fucking amazing at this Olympics eh? Great performance from Rhys !

  4. This gold will change gymnastics in Ireland, what an impact this will have on our youth. Well done!

  5. That was so tense watching. Can’t imagine actually trying to perform under that pressure with the memory of the last Olympics in your head. What a beast.

  6. Legendary stuff!

    Never ever thought I’d be nervous about a gymnastics event. But here we are 😂

  7. Might be the sweetest gold yet, laid to rest the ghost of Tokyo.

    Doesn’t seem real that we’re doing this well at the Olympics! Used to doing ok if we won an odd bronze or silver, 3 athletes getting golds and counting (and no asterisk as well). Unbelievable

  8. Tiny Ireland is now ranked 13th on the medal table. We are punching so far above our weight, it’s fantastic. Those athletes are doing everyone so proud

  9. It was worth watching the whole final, it was really good. Rhys was excellent. Well done.

  10. It’s hilarious how invested I’ve become in the pommel horse over the last 30 mins.

    Felt a bit guilt cheering when Korean lad fell off the pommel horse after they showed the poor fella in tears!

  11. Wow for such a small country, Team Ireland has been so successful so far, that’s ties our most ever with another guaranteed from kellie right?

  12. Main narrative I was following this Olympics, buzzing for him.

  13. And this time we didnt even drug the horse!!! Seriously that was both beautiful and powerful. What a journey he’s had. gwan!

  14. It’s everyone’s favorite plastic paddy again…

    I’m still not Irish, but that’s 3 Irish golds and a bronze I’ve seen in person these Olympics. What a performance!!! I was so nervous and absolutely delighted to see him beat my countryman (and the guy from Kazakhstan) for another Irish gold.

  15. This is the gold I hoped for the most given the torture he’s had.

    Eurosport won’t shut the fuck up about max Whitlock …they ve been fine with keeping balance in their coverage in general but the gymnastics pundits are taking the piss.

  16. God be with the days when medals were like hens teeth.

  17. Will the commentators just shut up during the medal ceremony now.

  18. Omg I am so fucking happy and so proud of him and happy for him

    Well done Rhys!!!!!!

  19. Hearing the anthem played in the gymnastics arena has me sobbing, never thought we’d see the day

  20. Twice in a week seeing the flag hoisted aloft and the anthem playing. I could get used to this!!!!!!!

  21. County Down going to have to compete as their own nation if they keep this up that’s 1.5 gold medals in a week.

  22. He’s finally ready to move up to a real horse! 🥳
