    Pearson or Harper to take gold? too hard to call.

    Derval faded again. Maybe she needs to bulk up a bit more. All the other girls are a lot bigger than her in a muscular sense.

    Disappointing from Derval, ran out of steam very quickly there.

    Thought Derval was going to do it there. She still did Ireland proud though. Getting to the semi's and finishing fifth is no easy feat.

    DOR doesn't have the pace, she is not a flat-track bully like some of the others, needs to work on her speed to medal

    technically she's grand and a fine starter

    if there was an olympic technical event pver 30metres i'd put the mortgage on her but unfortunately over 100 metres she fades faster than my three wood
