Today Ireland got its first Gold medal.. John Michael from the Irish Gymnastic team won gold. What a day. The competition was held this morning, and the award ceremony took 3 hours, with our Alan and John going up and down the podium!!!! Alan took three silver medals and some ribbons and John took a gold and silver and more ribbons. Their results should be on their pages on the website for Special Olympics Ireland.
Carole was busy showing RTE where to find the people to interview, i.e. John Michael and Alan... CEO Matt English was there to congratulate the boys, and watch the girls compete. All adding to the excitement.
Miss universe 2007 gave out some medals.
Gemma Carroll called in to say Hi, much to Caroles delight. Gemma is looking great, she has been seen singing in the corridors with other volunteers. She hopes to be there tomorrow with Kathryn to watch Carole do her stuff. Caroles competition should be at 7am Irish time. That is as much as we know for now.
There is a 48 hr strike in operation until Thursday so our tram service has let us down. The taxi from our hotel took less than 5 mins and cost €3. The tram was free to us and took about 15mins. We were early for a change, fingers crossed we will be early tomorrow.....
We will not get the results from Caroles competition till later tomorrow.
It would have been great to have Lisa and Ruby here, as they were a great team in Limerick.
We miss you Girls
