Is there any other potential medal winners for Ireland to come?
How are we 12th? Is that just in golds? The overall tally has NZ, Brazil, Hungary, Sweden etc all higher than us.
Still an absolutely incredible performance! I cannot believe how well Ireland is doing, and in so many different sports. I’ve just seen this table before and I don’t understand it.
Top class🇮🇪🥊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻👊🏻
For reference US would need 264 gold medals to match Ireland per capita, and China would need over 1,151 golds.
How are we ahead of Brazil? They enter so many events! Unbelievable achievement from our athletes.
Kelly’s boxing tonight was quality, her style reminds me of Lomachenko “the Matrix.”
Swim & gymnastic medals are unheralded for Ireland. These have been an amazing Olympics for us. If Adeleke could somehow gain any colour medal then that would add to the swim & gymnastic medals as unbelievable.
Great to see.
Hopefully this isn’t a high-water mark for Irish performance at the Olympics. This is the last time there’ll be a lightweight double sculls, and there’s a possibility that there will be no boxing in 2028 too. That said, lots of young athletes are getting good experience this time out and will be more competitive in LA.
