  1. From the cheers there in the intro, half of Ireland are over there. We got nearly as big a cheer as the French.

    Sickeningly close to get another 4th, but a hell of a performance from a group who weren’t even expected to get to the final.

    If you ever want to see just how fast Adeleke is though, all you need to do is watch that race. The Americans walked it by 50+ metres, but I would honestly not be shocked to see if Rhadisat posted a faster individual time than any of them.

    Heart is broken for them, so close. And Ciara Mageean. Bring on LA 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

    A weak first and 3rd leg. Asked too much from the other two. So blooming close. Great effort but just not enough gas in the tank.

    I thought that was brilliant running against a strong lineup, that’s just fantastic

    2 really classy legs, the others fought hard but were a level below that required. Must be so frustrating. We should now rename our country to Ireland Fourth instead of Ireland.

  7. I have to ask… would a short back & sides have made them a bit more aerodynamic & lighter to get that single second advantage???

  8. Mawdsley is a machine. Kept up with Bol. Another few feet and the Brit was caught too. Incredible race.

  9. You can’t fault a team that brings home a national record.

    Well done ladies.

    Are the full team professional? I think some of them aren’t full time athletes. I know they won’t medal as individuals so funding is probably limited.

    Might be worth funding them given that there is obvious medal potential with this bunch backing up Adeleke.

  10. What a performance, well done girls. Imagine being disappointed 2 nights in a row at the end of an Olympics in Ireland. Who’d have thought it!? Incredible stuff from them.

    More money into athletics (and other sports) and less into racing dogs and horses!

    So close again, they did amazing and watching them tear up is making me tear up they should be proud

    The future for the Olympics for us is looking so good
