Irelands most likely Olympic 2012 Medals

By far the best ever result by an Irish athlete. Might have to bump her up the 'likely' medal table

Fantastic there by Aileen, she is really getting it together now...the last race I seen her she was 4th out of the water, usually her weakest discipline of the three but faded on the run....she's getting the balance just right now, really exciting prospect.....it's not exactly out of the blue though, she had arguably a better result at Hamburg World Series race in 2010 where she finished 3rd....Hamburg is always one of the most competitive meets of the triathlon season.

Very well done to Aileen!

Do we have anyone else in the women's triathlon? And do we have, and do we consider 'domestiques', where we may have one real medal hope?? Saw San Diego and the interviews with the Team GB Triathlon coach who said it was all about medals, and potential Olympic triathletes would have to decide if being selected for The Olympics meant going to try medal Helen Jenkins. These triathletes agreed they would take this role if it meant getting there.

I know there was a recent discussion on this re cycling.

Aileen Morrison is the only Irish woman who can qualify for London. Emma Davis who was Ireland's first triathlete in Beijing 2008 has been injured pretty much on and off since then and doesn't compete to often on the elite stage now, which is a shame.
Gavin Noble is on the verge of making the men's triathlon for London. Bryan Keane was unlucky due to miss out due to injury but he should be back to challenge for Rio 2016.

At the Modern Pentathlon World Cup Series Final in Chengdu Arthur Lanigan-O'Keeffe is battling hard to finish high up the standings to improve his Olympic ranking and hoping to move into the Olympic qualifying positions. He has made an excellent start and after 2 events (fencing and swimming) he lies in 6th place. He moved up 2 places after the swimming and now moves on to the third discipline, the riding event (showjumping).
Eanna Bailey is also competing at the event and is in 35th place.

According to the OCI 24 may 2012 ", 52 athletes have made qualification standards or have qualified a place for Team Ireland."

It's now 54 team members.

About time I updated this table:

Athletes in bold have achieved the A qualifying standard.

Athletes in red have achieved the B qualifying standard.
(A) = A standard
(A*) = Athlete achieved the A standard but missed out on selection as more than the maximum quota of athletes have met the A-standard for that event.
(B) = B standard
(B*)= B standard but A standard has been achieved by another athlete in that event.

Is Roisin Mcgettigan injured? No time recorded on the chart, is she trying to qualify?

She was out for the 2011 season as she had a baby. I believe she's training away over in the States now but it's difficult to know what her chances are. She's going to have a crack at qualification anyway as far as I know but time really isn't on her side.

Gavin Noble is Ireland's latest member of the ever growing London 2012 team. He has qualified for the men's triathlon event and will be the first Irish man to represent the country in men's triathlon. Brings up 55 in terms of Irish team members for London.

Kieran Behan finished 7th in the European Gymnastics Championships final for the men's floor apparatus. His score was down on his qualification score but he may have opted for a more difficult routine for the final. Anyway it has been a successful championships for Kieran and I'm sure he will take a lot of positives from his performances this week.

[Quote=Dan man; Dan, some of your tables have the right-hand half obliterated on screen. I dont know if this is a problem specific to me or if it's at your end or if anyone else has the problem. Maybe there's nothing to be done about it, and anyway it's not the end of the world, but I just thought I'd tell you about it. Well done again on all your splendid work.

Which tables do you mean? Is it the one with athletics qualifying standards? All the info is on screen anyway.

Yes, e.g. at 11.24 yesterday your posting reads:
Athletics - event - olympic stand
Jason Smith - 100m - A= 10.18 secs. B = 1
and so on down.

I think you must have an issue with formatting on your device I'm afraid, it's fully displayed on mine.

Not an important issue, but the table is truncated when I look at it using my iPhone too!

Now on to more important things......Joe ward. where does he stand in the pecking order of getting an invite? And why? Is if based on rankings or is it discretional? Is there any precedents that says he will/won't get an invite?

I'm also viewing it from my iPhone and all the info is displayed. If you can see as far as the column titled personal best then you have the full table.

Joe Ward should be first in line for the invitation spot. The reason why is that the tripartite commission cannot award the spot to developing nation as none in Europe meet the criteria.
What should happen under the rules outlined in the qualifying system is that the place is then re-allocated to the AIBA (international boxing federation) to be re-distributed. The rules in the qualification pathway states that it should go to the highest ranked non-qualifier from the 2011 World Championships. Joe Ward fits the bill.
