Joint 38th according to the official olympic site. There are two in joint 33rd who didn't qualify though. Not sure what's going on there, maybe they pulled out straight away or something.Quote:

Very nervous about Katie's fight. We know Irish sport. Seldom is anything plain sailing (the Estonia qualification game aside). I will watch it with the sound turned down as Jimmy Magee awards her the fight before she even gets in to the ring. Fighting a Russian soldier. God.
Was Morgan's tweet fake?
I've been enjoying the Irish commentary, especially Jimmy from Louth. He's acting like he's out of his head, probably realising this is his last Olympics, and going out with the craic. He's never been a particularly good commentator, especially on boxing, but when he said the other night that a fighter was from "Ulaan Bator, the capital of Outer Mongolia" I cracked up. I bet that (won't say it) Nugent was smashing his peeled face off a studio wall. Bill and Jimmy should be retired, Bill is only stirring now, Jimmy is going to get himself into trouble (the slag about the boxer's boots only being visible in a dark room was funny in a 1980's way).
Thats a good reply geysir, thanks and fair comment.:DQuote:

Come on Katie!
Get in there!
Gold! I'll just be dancing my way home now!
Great win, but I don't like how the studio (RTE) have forgotten we had a silver medal 20 years ago too! Man, that was too close! Now I'm in serious trouble, a Tajik yesterday, a Russian today!
Osarusan, we started the road to this gold :-)
