reflected glory
Here's how Twitter reacted to Katie Taylor's triumph
The Twitterati went through a range of emotions while watching the boxer’s moment of glory this afternoon.
Russian had a face like a melted welly – warmed up after though for the pics
Oscar De Le Hoya and Lennox Lewis both congratulated on her twitter too. Worth a mention I reckon as they are both legends of the sport.
She couldn’t believe she lost. Think the 4th round was awful scoring but fair play to her
Bad manners for the presentation though – very obvious
Agreed great to win gold, and great for Katie.
I can see the Russians point of view however, the 4th round looked like a big win for her, can’t understand how it was scored a draw. Hopefully she won’t appeal and will just take the decision.
Hey guys I think this story needs an update to include the tweet by the coolest guy in Hollywood, none other than Samuel L Jackson who says on Twitter-
All of IRELAND raise a pint for Katie Taylor’s gold medal Russian beatdown !
You go Sam ! Marcellus Wallace would be proud too=)
Chuck Norris checks under his bed for Katie Taylor before he goes to sleep.
Love it, classic.
Just waiting to see all our useless politicians trying to get a photo opportunity with the “Golden Girl” herself, where were they when she needed a toilet and shower in her gym, or are they only allowed in golf clubs?
Evidence today (if we even needed it) of the power that sports has over the entire country. Katie Taylor lifted everyone and has us all buzzin! Gotta love it
Very true and our fans done us proud once again over in London. Hope the lads keep the gold rush going
Couldn’t agree more Peader!
Samuel L. Jackson tweeted that we should raise a pint to her victory :-D Go Katie!!!!
Piers Morgan is donating £1000 pound to charity because of the Irish fans lifting the roof off the arena singing the anthem.
You HAVE to include this: Minister Sean Sherlock, finger on the pulse of a nation… https://twitter.com/seansherlocktd/status/233595669720485888
I think you’ll find the obligatory political tweet is photo #12
His finger is hardly on the pulse………..it opened a week ago!!!!!!
Val,try writing in English cos your German ain’t great!!….. I’m assuming u meant to say das golden madchen ist unser Katie.!!!
German girls are interesting due to what’s transpired in the past they share a value of independent informed (telling of tales ) that is concurrent in other parts of the world where the follow-ups can have repercussions especially in a work area.
Who is Jenifer o Connell?
Used to be one of the journals crew if I remember rightly
hi everyone, just finished work, saw the end of the fight but missed the medal presentation, nyone know where I can find it , RTE player does’nt show it.
BBC website
eh, hello o o, all i did was ask a simple question, thanks for the thumbs up , but why the thumbs down???
Probably because you missed it, how very dare you!! But we did too, fish and chips in Killarney distracted us :D but we heard the roar when she won so we figured it out. Try rte player if you have UPC or perhaps YouTube in the morning might have it? I’m sure even the BBC player thing might have something. They should be all updated by morning. There are always people who upload things when the beers the night before wear off. And jaysus sure the beer will be plenty tonight I reckon.
Nice to see that Steve Redgrave, Nick Clegg & Kate Middleton also turned up to support Katie. Steve Redgrave was practically biting his nails.
@John, Thanks pal.
Ein gold girl ist die russin
Sorry Vlad, the results in both the World Championship and now the Olympic’s say the Russian got her ass kicked by Katie, the Champion. Both times. Deal with it.
Nein, ein sour grapes girl sit den Russian. Deal with itski
She was beaten, no manners, no class!!! Get over it!!!
