Hope she goes on now and makes a few bob for herself after a brilliant achievement. She’s sacrificed so much over the years for her sport that she deserves everything that’s going to come her way. Brilliant sportsperson and an even better role model for kids. Only 1 in a generation comes along like Katie, lovely person too.

Tears in my eyes looking at the photos. She really deserved it and her all her team and Irish people supporting her. Very very proud. I only wish, I got to see the match.
-
She would never have done that without God? I think she would though!
-
Given that she’s just won a gold, don’t you think she can say what she wants about her own skills & achievements?. If she’d given all credit to her Dad, would it have bothered people? It’s like ‘we love you Katie, now just don’t say things that embarrass us’. She doesn’t strike me as a lady who’d bow down to that peer pressure! Lol.

Not sure you read my comment Noirin but of course she can say what she wants and I’m not bothered or embarrassed by anything she said! Not really sure where you got that from but I just think she has finally got that amazing medal and should give herself more credit for huge personal sacrifices , ability and self belief!

Somehow i watched the final in a business meeting in california , the network software allowed this fight to stream live some how….i listened with one ear plugged in , but i think my game was up when my eyes watered up with irish pride… well done Katie great moment.
