    Watching the 3d tracker herself and the other person in first have massive space coming down to the mark should have a really clear leg ahead of her

    And she's into the lead!

    This looks like a storming close race - feck them anyway for not broadcasting it!

    So I'm thinking she's a money athlete, not too shabby to produce your best form in years the first couple of days in the Olympic Games! Long way to go though needless to say.

    Nicholas Quinn giving a very good interview on RTE now. Not downhearted despite narrowly missing out on the Semi Finals.

    He has a great attitude and hopefully that will stand him well in the years to come, hopefully he can build on his excellent performances in Rio.
    Still bad form not showing the race until an hour or so after it was over. Sat talking BS about hockey for ages after the game was over... Could have showed the race either live (pretty much coincided with end of the hockey) or as live ASAP and go back to analyse it later. Pretty skewed priorities tbh....hockwy and Womens Rugby getting huge exposure all week but yer man from Mayo can FRO it seems

    Indeed, full credit to her for hitting form at two Olympics in a row.....she's a great girl

    Tracker is stuck - they've all sailed off the screen.

    Don't think it can cope very well. She's back in 1st now apparently. Or 4th. Or 7th.

    Who knows?

    Yep, got caught the wrong side of a shift according to those who can actually see what's happening.

    5th now, nearing mark 4, although the tracker still hasn't caught up properly so can't see how far to it.

    Sounds like a really messy race, they're all bunched up and positions keep changing.....hopefully she can salvage something

    Yay, the tracker has finally caught up with itself, and is showing the fleet again.

    China in the lead, Annalise in 7th.
