This is how the BBC closed their coverage of Tokyo 2020. You have a heart of stone if this doesn't bring a tear to your eye:- Notice they snuck in Kellie Harrington's gold too! Do the BBC have a separate Montage Department? Time after time they deliver spot-on compilation clips that perfectly sum up big events.

From 0 medals to 5 gold medals in 5 years.
Although Tamberi the high jumper has been very good the last few years.

I see there are some question marks about the Italian Olympic 100m winner Sprinter's remarkable rise in form these past months and he has even now parted with his nutrition expert who is caught in up in a steroid probe.

Same. Similar experience when Katie Taylor won. We're a great little country all the same

HRI & greyhound racing receive a percentage of every sports bet placed in Ireland. That’s the value of lobbying. Football being a working class game has never had the political will to do the same for it.

football betting generates a huge amount, yet we receive a paltry amount of funding.

Fairly easy one to explain - Greyhound racing, along with horse racing, generate the money pumped into it through tax on betting. Additionally, the money provided by government generates a lot of primary and secondary employment in the industry. It is, and should be seen as, something totally different to sports grants.

Greyhound racing, by a considerable margin, gets the most government funding for some reason. Can anyone explain the rational behind that?
Surley it would be better to pump that money into boxing, rowing and the minority sports. The social benefits would be incalculable, never mind the knock on effect to our competiveness at olympic games All in all, our most successful Olympics since 1932
(96 doesn't count, obviously) The medalists will rightly get all the headlines, but there was some fantastic individual performances throughout. Lots of reasons to be optimistic that Paris 2024 will be even more successful for Team Ireland |

Its a wonderful for a nation to be able to share the joy of somebody achieving something excellent. You rarely forget the names of Olympic medalists, and you never forget the names of Gold medalists. Its a special achievement which puts Kellie Harrington amongst the elite of the elite, and the nation can enjoy that success.
Athens 2004 has always made me exceptionally proud and grateful for our medalist's achievement.
