  1. For the first time ever, Ireland is broadly pro-Israel – don’t love that, but do love him. Gwan you legend.

  2. I was asking my wife to guess the name of the Irish athlete who did 100m in 10.17 seconds.
    She said – โ€œtennerโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚
    (We both are immigrants to this beautiful country.)

  3. Olatunde credited the women in his family for his speed. Me too, often had to leg it from my mother when I was young

  4. Genuinely shocked that there are only 3 deleted posted in this thread (at the time of posting). I was expecting there to be far more racist, bigoted posts here. It’s nice when this subreddit surprises us

  5. Iโ€™m Black and from England and I would always ask my mom if Ireland had a large native Black population. Does anyone know?

    Edit: why am I being downvoted?

  6. I recall there being a partially sighted para sprinter who was so fast he competed for Ireland in the able bodied competitions as well. Anyone know what his pb is?

  7. he does not even need a car to come to work.

    jokes aside, well done ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

  8. What a crazy fast time, dedication and training is what that is sheer discipline I’m proud he’s representing the country well done man!

  9. Lads he’s 20. Reece Ademola is 19. Rhasidat Adeleke is 19. Irish Athletics has a really bright future. That’s only naming a few off the top of my head.

  10. Pffft I could do that. The one and only reason is that I’m choosing not to.

    Honestly though it’s unreal. Nice to see the Irish doing well in athletics again!
