1000 times the support for Rhasidat Adeleke at Morton Stadium today than the racists will ever manage to gather if they tried for years. Such a light in Irish sport right now. She is one of the best of us.

C'est donc à 22 heures exactement que le ballon porteur de la Flamme s'est élevé, doucement, silencieusement, magnifiquement dans le ciel de Paris, à l'admiration de la foule.

WE’LL NEVER FORGET THIS MOMENT 🥹 An all-Black podium graces #OlympicGames gymnastics for the first time ever.

I’m a doctor originally from Afghanistan who is now proudly serving people of all backgrounds in NHS. Despite the fear of violence against my faith & background, I won't be intimated. UK is my home & I will continue to help anyone who needs it. We shouldn't give in to racism.

“Sport can change these communities.” Bernard Dunne absolutely spot on last night on the need of further investment.

Enough ?

One of the finest Irish athletes ever, yet still so young, can’t wait to see her in Friday’s final. A super ambassador for our country. 🇮🇪

Hearing and reading stories from home about how Rhasidat stopped a nation in homes and pubs around the country for her final last night. She’s a great connector, I hope she knows that.

Generally Team Ireland should be incredibly proud of everything that has been achieved this last fortnight. Easily Ireland’s greatest ever Olympics.

Please please can we build off this success at the Olympics rather than allow it to paper over the cracks that exists in Irish sport? It’s amazing having these top class talents but we need to invest in them and then invest in facilities and infrastructure to keep it all going

And for everyone who's following the Olympics right now and already wondering what will they do with their lives!!! Don’t forget that from the 28th of August to the 8th of September the Paralympics are on and they're also absolutely worth watching!!

One standout feature of these #Olympics has been the number of Irish surnames among athletes from across the anglophone world - the UK, US, Australia, a bit of New Zealand, even Hong Kong! If there were a diaspora team, we’d crush it. 😃 #Paris2024

This is why we all love Andrew Cotter and Mabel and Olive

I’m listening to #sophiefromromania during my own dog walks - it is inspiring but the heartbreak experienced by Rory Cellan-Jones during Sophie’s journey is not hidden. Thoroughly recommend!
