RTE's Ryle Nugent took some flak for not mentioning Carolyn Hayes more in his triathlon commentary RTE ToykoOlympics
An RTE Olympics commentator has explained why they can't be bias towards Irish athletes at the Toyko Olympics.
Ryle explained on Twitter: "Taken a bit of flak for not mentioning Carolyn Hayes more in triathlon commentary. O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy won a thrilling lightweight double sculls final in Tokyo on Thursday to claim Ireland's first Olympic gold medal since 2012. But 27-year-old O'Donovan admits that achievement may not be enough to earn the plaudits when he returns home to see his mum.
"That's the race plan we had, we do it all the time and it seems to work OK for us. Italy and Germany always go hard, you can count on that, and then slow down a bit."Winning today and a silver medal last time, I'll be a bit happier about that. The silver medal is nice but Fintan did the right job and we went straight to the top at his first Games."
