Wiffen in the 1500 final before 6pm is our next realistic gold shot, Harrington in boxing final so guaranteed silver with a good shout at gold too

Rhasidat Adeleke and some of the other amazing women runners that did so well in the recent European championships.

Do we have a chance in taekwondo? RTE made an ad about him so must be decent.

I think since Kellie is guaranteed either a silver or a gold this is already our best ever Olympics.
Wiffen in the swimming is probably the next medal. He is favourite for gold.
The only other realistic possibility today is an outside chance that McIlroy will pick up a medal in the golf. He is only 3 shots outside the medals at the moment despite being 8th.

Haven’t had this sort of boost since the 90’s

McIlroy timing his charge to perfection here. I’d say we could have our next medal before the swimming.

Is Kellie Harrington our only realistic upcoming gold medal chance in the remaining games?
