Everyone is loving this Irish athlete's joyous reaction to winning his race in Rio
IN THE VERY early hours of this morning, Waterford athlete Thomas Barr won his 400m hurdles semi-final at the Olympics in Rio.
It’s already being called “one of the greatest Irish performances” by the pundits.
And his reaction of disbelief and delight when he crossed the line was brilliant
Look at him there
People watching back home were LOVING the celebration
The “wonderful smile” lit up Rio
His time was a new Irish record for the 400m hurdles – and you’d know by the smile on him
Good man Thomas – let’s hope we’ll be seeing the beaming smile return in Thursday’s final
