This gold will change gymnastics in Ireland, what an impact this will have on our youth. Well done!

That was so tense watching. Can’t imagine actually trying to perform under that pressure with the memory of the last Olympics in your head. What a beast.

Legendary stuff!
Never ever thought I’d be nervous about a gymnastics event. But here we are 😂

Might be the sweetest gold yet, laid to rest the ghost of Tokyo.
Doesn’t seem real that we’re doing this well at the Olympics! Used to doing ok if we won an odd bronze or silver, 3 athletes getting golds and counting (and no asterisk as well). Unbelievable

Just sensational!! What a colossal win.

Tiny Ireland is now ranked 13th on the medal table. We are punching so far above our weight, it’s fantastic. Those athletes are doing everyone so proud

It was worth watching the whole final, it was really good. Rhys was excellent. Well done.

It’s hilarious how invested I’ve become in the pommel horse over the last 30 mins.
Felt a bit guilt cheering when Korean lad fell off the pommel horse after they showed the poor fella in tears!

Wow for such a small country, Team Ireland has been so successful so far, that’s ties our most ever with another guaranteed from kellie right?

It’s everyone’s favorite plastic paddy again…
I’m still not Irish, but that’s 3 Irish golds and a bronze I’ve seen in person these Olympics. What a performance!!! I was so nervous and absolutely delighted to see him beat my countryman (and the guy from Kazakhstan) for another Irish gold.

Giddy up! 🐎 Amazing performance! What a week it has been, and more to come hopefully

This is the gold I hoped for the most given the torture he’s had.
Eurosport won’t shut the fuck up about max Whitlock …they ve been fine with keeping balance in their coverage in general but the gymnastics pundits are taking the piss.

Hearing the anthem played in the gymnastics arena has me sobbing, never thought we’d see the day

Twice in a week seeing the flag hoisted aloft and the anthem playing. I could get used to this!!!!!!!

County Down going to have to compete as their own nation if they keep this up that’s 1.5 gold medals in a week.

Well done! What a great showing. BBC article not mentioning he represented Ireland oncoming
Brine-O-Driscoll on
Couldn’t get over how calm the RTE commentators were. He absolutely pommelled the horse.
Unreal achievement from McClenaghan. Think that equals our Olympic record of 6 medals in one games now too.

Amazing. And this is how our flag should be flown.

Fuck it let’s have a public holiday and a parade when they come home
