I love the gymnastics, all the equesterian events and the swimming and diving. Irelands best hope for a medal will be in the boxing ring though.

I am so sad the Olympics are over! This was a great family event that we could all watch together. Oh well, a year and a half until the Winter Olympics, right? Time to set my DVR :cool:
