Ireland did mighty in the Olympics. Seven medals for a nation as small as ours is relatively unheard of. From rowing to boxing, gymnastics and swimming, our team were truly incredible. Their homecoming was a joy to behold and I know they will continue to make Ireland proud.
Tom Cruise closing the ceremony with his stunts was another spectacle to behold as he received the Olympic flame for the USA to hold the Olympics in 2028.

New games such as baseball, squash, surfing, skateboarding and karate.
92FM was discussing on the radio today the games that would need to possibly be added if Ireland were ever to host the Olympic Games. Here are a few of my suggestions
- Turfing- who can cut the most turf in five minutes.
- Guinness – most perfect Guinness pints poured in Ten Minutes.
- Cow Milking – Most cows milked in one hour.
- Slagging – the wittiest roasting match, Irish style.
- Bodhran speed – The fastest bodhran player.
Ultimately, if the above, could be combined to be a circuit I think it would have maximum effect. Starting with the turfing, onto the Guinness pouring, followed by the cow milking, slagging and bodhran playing.
What do you think? Have you any other suggestions?
All the best
Stay fab
