Daniel Wiffen is the  800 metres freestyle world champion today . Hopefully a good sign in an Olympic year and he can bring home a medal for Ireland.

The British women played for a minute in the third quarter with 12 rather than 11 players on the pitch. Ireland have no way of appeal though, the powers that be have stated.

Silly comment above regarding the hockey team qualifying for the Olympics. Can’t understand anyone criticizing another sport.

You obviously don't know too much about the sport then.

Great win for the Men’s Hockey team. In 2012 they missed out with a defeat to South Korea in UCD. Amazing to qualify . David Harte still playing away after almost 20 years as an international.

And 200.

Considering it's only January and her 1st races of the year, you can expect her to go faster.

As expected both hockey teams lost their semi finals. The women did well but really will not be good enough to take out the Brits in last chance saloon tomorrow. The men were never going to defeat Spain but have a decent opportunity v South Korea to qualify. 
Both sides remind of the football team as in they can't score against top opposition but unlike our lads are able to defend and don't give up cheap scores.

Should have won the game in normal time. Will kick themselves now.
At least they still have another chance.

The men have only played in the Olympics twice: 1908 and 2016.
The ladies qualified in 2020 for the first time. 

Don't know why I thought that then!

Adeleke might sneak a medal, but it will depends on the fitness of the other athletes and her own form.
