There's always been something suss about that London 2012 games and all the medals they won as well. Cover ups all over the show.

Go on the lads

Well done Ireland.

The GB team get £24M per year off the lottery cash; these two Irish lads have probably won gold with funding a fraction of their GB rivals.

Ministers Martin and Byrne wish Irish Olympians success in Paris

This is Government press release. I guess as 'total State funding ' it includes any State Lottery funding. €89m for Paris - biggest ever Team Ireland competing and showing fruits.

Are GB currently down on expected golds at the moment? It seems like they're regularly winning silver/bronze in events with good gold opportunities.

Damn it, forgot I was watching the rowing on a delay, you all ruined it for me

 

[ToffeeTim]

Great effort in the rowing from the Irish and British teams

Nick Mullins is such a great commentator.

Watch a lot of the Rugby so knew he was very good from that. He really paints the picture of the individuals journey and personalities perfectly as you go through the race. Brings the viewers who know nothing about the athletes as people right into the races.

No wonder this Chinese diving pair of Long/Wang look confident!

Even allowed to compete in the women's event.

Great news. Couldn't watch live but just watched the replay. Didn't realise they had missed out on a medal in Tokyo by 0.01 seconds. Clearly worked as great motivation
