And after when he was running away a bit.. Tres nervous I was..
Bah! All part of the plan. Take a count and you waste 8 valuable seconds. :P
And his defensive performance in the last 30 seconds of that round when he was shattered was excellent IMO.
Yeah, Cuban lad next, will be an extremely tough fight, Nevin will have to produce another top class performance to win. I think he has the skill to do it, but everything will have to go his way on the day.
Katie our next fighter now I believe, and Annalaise Murphy in with a decent shout of a medal of any colour tomorrow as well.

Gutted for Annalaise Murphy, so close. Typical that when there were 4 going for 3 places we'd finish 4th. :P
Judging by the interview she just gave on RTE, she knows she made a mistake going on the inside of the course (or was it outside? I forget.
)
But I think hopes were inflated by her outstanding performance in her first 4 races, I don't remember anyone tipping her for a medal coming up to the Olympics, so to come as close as she did was a brilliant achievement. And she's only 22, so there's realistic hope for her in Rio.I'm gutted for her, thought she had at least bronze.
This isn't aimed at you JamJam but RTE's talk of Rio is starting to get annoying. Some of our Olympiads who really should have reached their peak by now have no business going to Rio never mind having hopes of medals...
It's more frustrating than annoying IMO. I'll be the first to admit that I don't really follow athletics or swimming outside of the Olympics (bar the odd Euro Championship that's shown on RTE) but it seems that we've been saying for the past 3 games that "Oh they've got their experience now, next time around they'll come out of the blocks flying and will have a realistic chance."
Taylor up in a few minutes, will be a hard bout, but I reckon she can do it. 0 -

How the hell did she get so much support in the arena when she was fighting an English girl? :eeK:
It's a shame she met Jonas so early, that would have made a superb gold medal fight. 0 -

Cian O'Connor goes clear in the first round of the individual showjumping. Only 4 others have had clear rounds. Fair play to him fo putting in such a performance when he was only added to the final this morning.
Is it wrong that I get happy when other riders get 4 faults? Probably, but meh!0 -

This came from The Daily Telegraph, awkward.
Ah shur you'd have to have pity for them, they're innocent out. :P
Another great performance by Taylor.
Silver in the bag!
Final Score: 17-90 -

After a heartstopping jump off Cian claims bronze medal for the individual jumping.
SOOO unlucky. .02 away from being in a jump off for gold, and bringing down the last fence even though he had a time lead of 3 seconds was heartwrenching.
But what a comeback story from O'Connor. Delighted for him, he seems to be a nice guy.
4 medals now. This has been one of our best Olympics ever (which is hardly surprising given it's basically our home Games).0 -

Barnes was shocking in the last round, but he was so good in the first two that I reckon he was the well deserved winner.
He was kinda losing the run of himself a bit blagarding.. Like the Indian was trying to frustrate him but he didnt need to keep answering back to it -.-
Glad he won though, was defo the better overall.. Would LOVE to see him beat the Chinese fella after the muck up of the 15-0 score..
Also well done to Cian O Connor, some man, not even supposed to be representing us in the Olympics, not supposed to have gotten through to todays round and then to get a medal 0
