    BBC are so excited and pleased for us. If only we would be as gracious when their sportspeople win.

    Ahh will you stop. The two lads even said yesterday they were delighted to knock out the British crew. Typical west cork lads fair play to them.

    Why would that be typical of West Cork lads?

    the irish are very ungracious to the english in sporting ventures.

    team gb rugby team had no love in sevens thread.

    especially hard to believe when fiji are one of the most niggly , spoiling for fights teams you'll see.

    Its the inferiority complex again.

    You can shout for whoever you want to. They are grand lads I agree and lads who said in their interview they were delighted to knock out the Brits yesterday! You are kind of contradicting yourself!

    I hate that phrase. It sounds so shallow and something you'd hear from meat headed jock high school American who has a bit of maturing to do. Biff from Back to the Future. No brains, all brawn

    That will surely be the performance of the games, to break a WR by 14 seconds!

    Women's 10k world record has been smashed. Some performance by the winner.

    It's a pity more weren't there to see it, it was a bit odd scheduling this race in the morning time. It should have been raced tonight under lights.

    im praising the winners of the event in question, which is my country of residence.

    if someone congratulated the irish boys on boards.fr is that trolling?

    There's a decent enough crowd since about 3pm our time. Wonderful to see such a magnificent run and all the better in daylight in my opinion. I always preferred being in the crowd during daylight sessions.

    Congratulations to the French. Thoroughly deserved and what has been a turbulent 9 months for France makes it even better. Those rowers were classy guys. No need for the stupid prom queen Americanism though. Your better than that

    That has nothing to do with the fact they're a dirty team. Late and cheap hits, love to come in high and have been in their fair share of scraps. I love watching them play but I'll admit they're a dirty team.
