Irish friends, watch this video Alison Oliver and I made about how the @greenparty_ie is about to break its promise and pass a bill to fast-track & prioritise dangerous LNG terminals. Then sign & share the petition telling them to stop it and ban LNG!ย https://t.co/1TugQGHGoY

First Irishwoman ever to win medals at multiple Games - and both are gold.
Kellie Harrington with yet another masterclass.
She joins Pat O'Callaghan, Fintan McCarthy and Paul O'Donovan as the only Irish Olympians to win gold at multiple Games.
Different class.
So so devastated for Ciara!
She is an amazing athlete and ambassador for running, and running with determination and nouse!
Still our champ #CiaraMageean ๐๐๐ผ๐ฎ๐ช

"What Iโd say to the Irish fans is that she could win the Olympic gold medal here. She could medal here, and she could be out of the medals.
"All three of those are all real possibilities."
Fascinating to chat to Michael Johnson on all things track.

Loads could compete at field events for Ireland!
Shot putt=4kg women,7.3kg men,discus=1kg for women,2kg men!
If CF gyms,with the power and athletics clubs with the technique,teamed up,surely there'd be medals there for the takin in L.A!

Took this photo back in 2016 at the homecoming of Gary & Paul O'Donovan (in their Ireland gear) after winning Olympic silver. On the left is fresh-faced Fintan McCarthy, mouth open, watching on, dreaming. Look at Fintan now: back-to-back Olympic gold medallist! Living the dream.
Hard luck ๐ฎ๐ช4x4Mixed Olympians!!
Hopefully their recent success inspires them and more up and coming runners to push for future medal wins?
#Thanks๐ช๐ผ #TeamIreland
Very fitting the last ever Olympic lightweight double sculls title was won by O'Donovan and McCarthy, who have been utterly unbeatable when it matters for so many years.
No matter the rivals, the conditions, the expectation and the pressure, they just keep delivering.
