  • The guy is lovely too, he has a YT channel where he upload content about his training, his competitions, etc. He is a great athlete and a very kind and respectful guy. Very very likable, with a very Irish joviality and sense of humor. Kudos, congrats, and many more to come.
  • The first ever gymnastics medal for Ireland, and it's gold!! Well-deserved, his performance was simply stellar. Hope to see you in LA 2028, Rhys!
