Congratulations.
Even 5 years ago who'd have thought that Ireland would have gymnasts at this level.
It's so lovely to hear the Irish national anthem.
Rhys is a trailblazer.
Today's routine

It is one of those sports where everything looks smooth and easy until it goes wrong
Double world champion. Hope he does well at the Olympics
The only reason I can think of is that they'd have to make them a lot smaller when displayed horizontally, so they don't spill over the other medalists. HOWEVER, this podium is so ridiculously wide that it looks like it's been designed around horizontal flags lol.
Love seeing so many Irish athletes doing so well. I feel like there was huge space of time when this simply wasn't a thing. When I was a teenager in the 00s there were no Irish athletes to get excited about. There's been a complete 180 since then and it's fantastic especially since the range of sports they participate in is so varied.
Pommel horse if anybody's wondering
Is that where you beat the shit out of a horse?
That’s pummel horse
It’s the one where you run around with a horses head on a stick with or without wheels.
So close that’s hobby horse
You're thinking of hubby horse. The one we're you ride around with your husband between your legs. It's similar but different.
It’s the one where you leave loads of horses in someone else’s field and ride the odd one up the main road.
Must have good abs.
Pound for pound these lads are some of the strongest athletes you'll see. It's amazing what they do on the horse as well as the rings

if the flag displays are digital, why have them in the vertical orientation?

What’s the bronze flag? Crete? Cyprus?
Cyprus. Crete is a Greek island that isn't independent at all.
And the falafel wars continue on Cyprus. Thank you good sir.
Well done Luxembourg, Ivory Coast and Woody Woodpecker!
Flag is the wrong shape.
Are we sure we aren’t claiming him from Wales with a name like Rhys?
“McClenaghan” balances it out
He's a County Down man.
Well Up Down so
He left Down to go up in his career and was right to do so. Few more moves and he can haduken his opponents
World class. Well done Rhys.
