    Thomas Fannon doesn't make it :( 0.1 is margin, 10th fastest.

    HE broke the Irish record today twice. Broke his own record in that race. He can't do anymore than that. Well done to him

    Just saw the clip there. Shameful that a man is being allowed to fight a woman. That Italian girl had her dream robbed by woke nonsense.

    This nonsense again....not a man, she has elevated testosterone (think caster semenya) she shouldn't be allowed to compete imo.

    But look at Khelifs record....she isn't even that good. Kellie Harrington hammered her 5-0 at the last olympics...

    You should use your anger and point it at the corrupt scoring.

    so bored of the swimming to be honest. Does RTE have to cover every single race? Surely they could look at some of the more obscure sports?

    Andy Murrays career done. Came alive when on the way out a bit. Over time to retire for him, but can never doubt his commitment. What a player.

    One possible benefit...I won't ever have to see Judy Murrays sour puss ever again.

    Andy Murray and Dan Evans have lost in the tennis. Twenty year career has come to an end. He looks in discomfort walking.

    Not to drag this thread into a long discussion but the reports I read indicated that they are a biological man and that it's not just about higher testosterone levels.

    Supposedly one of the reasons she's so good is due to often boxing with men from the age of about 15, and that's because there were few Irish women strong enough to match her.

    Which proves my point: there are almost no women of her level in Ireland, but plenty of men. And they're nowhere near as famous as she is, because a man boxing at the same level as Katie Taylor is at best a decent boxer. She is a great (female) boxer.

    Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls@UNSRVAW "Very concerned about these statements by the IOC at Paris2024 There are multiple international treaties and national constitutions that specifically refer to#women and their fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination, so the world has a pretty good idea of what women -and men for that matter- are. Also, how can one assess whether fairness and justice has been reached if we do not know who we are being fair and just to?"

    Quality of the commentary very poor on RTE. The sound.
