Olympic Games Paris 2024 - AH Thread [Thread banned posters listed in first post.]

EDIT: Double post

Most successful Olympics full stop: Most medals ever, most golds ever.

Ireland up to 12th in the medal table.

Winning one of those is incredible but, fack me, 2 of 'em!!!!!

Don't kno has this be story mentioned already , apologies if it has.Legendary Brazilian footballer Zico who is part of Brazil Olympics delegation had a briefcase robbed in Paris valued at 500k . A rolex watch , diamonds and cash were in the case ! Surely that was going to be used with no goodness behind it !

Hope she boycotts Newstalk now cause of that muppet.

Not too sure about that Irish gut got 2 in the hammer so joint. But Smith still has her 3 and still on Irelands list of golds and bronze

Edit: now realise it about irelands total and not 1 person

I thought it was pretty close albeit Harrington obviously won.

It was an Olympic final FFS, it was never going to be a cakewalk

Is she retiring? I know she's 34 but it would be nice to see her go pro and get a few big pay days before calling it quits.

Thats a real shame, but Paris can be prone to this sort of thing…I remember getting mugged also….

Think it was a Casio watch, a packed of Apple drops and 20 Francs (At the time)!!

And my security guard nowhere to be seen!!

4th on medals per capita.

Retiring completely - says she is finished with boxing.

don't think she comes across that likeable, not that she'll care but probably hurts her financially
