Ireland are 14th in the Olympics table, not a bad showing at all so far

if China cheated, they would've won more gold medals in the swimming, instead of solely doing well in the heats and semi's and then ultimately flopping in the finals


as for Korea, idk if they cheat, they just seem very hard working, very strict in their training routines

Amazing for the Swedish pole vaulter guy !!

He had the gold medal already won but raised the bar and made another jump to beat the Olympic record .. incredible .

Olympic gold AND an Olympic record!!

But THEN he decides to take another jump , raised the bar past the world record and went clean over comfortably !!


What a guy , what an evening , what a lucky audience !!

thankfully Sifan Hassan only a bronze


the fake dutch finished the kenyan duo, was put into silver position however one of the kenyans successfully appealed against her dq, the ethiopian tsegay was dq'd instead after looking back on the footage where tsegay was the one pushing not the kenyan

Great bronze for Sky Brown in the skateboarding

Amazing what these girls are able to do. They're pretty much all 14-18 years old. Wonder what it is that stops people being able to perform so well when they get a bit older?
