Hard to watch her there without crying, tbh.
Comhghairdeas Kellie! Amazing achievement.

Couldn’t be happier for her. Well done!
Amazing stuff, such a class person! Delighted for her!
Amazing
I havn’t been this sporty happy since the Euro final. Great schtuff!
Amazing!
I highly recommend watching the Tommy Tiernan interview she did last year. She is so hard working and humble.
Not to be a buzz kill though… who organised the big screen in Portland Row? I thought the council refused due to Covid?
Was that a private organiser?
Did the media all chip in as they knew it’s make for great scenes?
Thanks for the interview tip Spud!
“Not to be a buzz kill though… who organised the big screen in Portland Row? I thought the council refused due to Covid?

Congrats to Kellie
Well deserved and Congratulations to Kellie Anne.
Great role model for a part of Dublin thats tough to grow up in.
I’m sure mehole and leotheleak will be chauffeured ro the airport for a photo op.
They’d be terrified to visit Portland Road.
No sight of Shane Ross yet!
I’m an aul’ fella and the tears are rolling down my wrinkled cheeks. Well done Kellie.
This is the best day of my summer. And there isn’t a speckle of sunshine where I am.
Fantastic
Nice to see a little positivity on BS for a change. Superb win and gold for Ireland. Kellie is a shining light for her community and Ireland.
I like kittens
how was your 40km this morning Berlanger ? ;)
had to quit boxing (horse riding and the slopes) due to a retina problem unfortunately
that was an answer to berlingo not just a random fact lol
Speaking of 40kms, Kipchoge’s marathon was utterly spellbinding to watch following the Women’s marathon and really enjoyed the medal presentations for both marathons during the closing ceremony.
poetry in motion that one
Berlingo… Hmm, isn’t that the rusty little van your mother does the dogging in? Well, out of, so to speak. How proud you were that first time she brought you with, good times indeed.
Heh, heh, heh.
why don’t you try being that positivity fairy and lead by example for a change, throw the blanleur mask away ?
Well I thought so too, until I saw Glen Gantley’s Twitter shoehorned in there at the end. Never miss an opportunity eh Bodge.
Can’t help himself….
Thrilled for her. She’s brilliant and such a great role model.
Hopefully now, she’ll get the funding and support she deserves to retain her title in Paris 2024. #hakunamatata, you absolute star.
Well done Kellie, great bout – and wonderful scenes from Portland Row, congrats to you all
John Tracey Sports Council get your priorities right. Fund the right disciplines. Track & Field shams need not apply!
I never thought to come on here yesterday, it was a great win! Dublin Live were streaming from Portland Row so I got a great sense of the celebrations – which the BBC were really struggling to convey
