Medals table on 11:05 - Aug 15 with 2411 views | yescomeon | 2 Golds and 5 Silvers for Wales. Although the 2 Golds and one of the Silvers are in team events. So just the 4 Silvers really. Beating the Irish which is what's important for me so I can wind up the Mrs. Did have to take the English pound to do it, as she will no doubt remind me. | |

I think Irelands superstar is going today ?, a win will guarantee a medal. Been Olympic, World, European champ, been a flag bearer etc but just failed to win a 6th World title in a row this year, Ireland will probably go potty if she can win Gold again. | |

Is that Katie Taylor, don't really follow the boxing, although I know thats where the Irish get their medals. New superstars are the O'Donovan brothers, pair of legends right there. Just looked up the medals per capita, Wales would be 5th. | |

She is a football international as well as boxing star, she is Irish royalty [yes I know] but that would be the only way to describe her, Beckham and the Queen rolled into one. lol. | |

Medals table on 12:36 - Aug 15 with 2333 views | trampie | Because Katie has been so unbeatable for years the photo's of her two recent defeats are classics, the shock, disbelief, joy, disappointment on the boxers faces as the ref holds up the winners hand reminds me of the great 'super Joe Calzaghe' and the 'Barry Bomber' fighting for the Welsh title, the Barry Bomber on his knees with the ref trying to hold his arm up and super Joe looking on in shock and disbelief, that tells you how good Calzaghe was and how good Katie Taylor is, they are so close to unbeatable that if they lose and they can go years and years without losing nobody can believe it including the boxers involved. | |

Because in Lohengrin's world it's 1920 and the Old King still has years in him. | |

Mother time might be catching up with her, I wonder if she will go on ?, she has turned 30 and won something like 5 Worlds, multiple European titles and an Olympics. Haven't seen the bout but the score is being reported as 39-37 Ireland, 39-37 Finland and 38-38 draw with the judges giving the nod to Finland. | |

The Team GB thing winds me up slightly. It is of course the UK team but Team UK probably doesn't have the same ring to it. | |

So are the Northern Irish kicking up a fuss about it. If so, I've not heard anything. And if not, why should we care? They probably feel they are included anyway just like everyone knows that Wales is part of the UK even if the flag doesn't portray that! | |
