The Best Thing We Shared Today

The best chances of victory still lie ahead for Ireland’s hockey team, but this Eugene McGee howitzer was the highlight of their Olympics so far.

On The Record

“You want to come to the Olympics and swim a PB, but that’s so hard to do. So to come in here and win that heat, I felt I left everything in the pool, so I’m happy from that point of view.”

Mayo man Nicholas Quinn spoke with us after emerging from his 200m breaststroke heat.

Where We Were Today

The Journal’s Sinead O’Carroll is with the Murphy family as Annalise took on race three and four in her Laser Radial class in Rio today.

Fixture List

Ireland’s lightweight double sculls pairs (Jennings, Lambe and the O’Donovan brothers) are on the water again tomorrow afternoon. Michael Conlan and Joe Ward begin their assault on the Games.

Not into the Olympics? Bray take on Dundalk in the Airtricity League at 8pm.

Showbiz, Baby!

And we go back to hockey because a pre-match power failure meant both Ireland and Germany had to sing their anthems acapella and the result reminded us so many night clubs.
