Great interview by Katie. You could see she was relieved to get the fight over with and is buzzing to keep going to the gold medal.

Cian O'Connor joint 21st with just under 20 riders left to jump. Not looking good.

Whos the girl shes fighting next?

by froggy 8/6/2012 2:23:18 PM
@froggy Chorieva Movzena of Tajikistan. Don't know much about her but judging from her fight just now, Katie has nothing to worry about. As far as I know she only has to fear Sofya Ochigava from Russia who is fighting in the last quarter-final.

by Peter Towe 8/6/2012 2:24:55 PM
@froggy @Peter Towe Katie beat Choroieva very handily in the semi-final of the world championships.

By-the-way, Ger Owens and Scott Flanigan finished 27th in race 8 of the Men's 470 race.

Ochigava gave Katie a really stern test in the world championship final. She'll probably get there again.

16-3 now after the 3rd round to Ochigava. Looks like the Russian is in the semis and could be a repeat of the world final.

I have to leave you now for the day. The highlight was Katie Taylor's stunning success, showcasing her remarkable talents on a big stage at last. Spare a thought for Annalise Murphy though. Fourth best in the world is pretty damn good.

by Daragh Ó Conchúir 8/6/2012 2:52:57 PM
@Daragh Ó Conchúir Thanks for joining us Daragh. A mixed day for the Irish, but one to make us proud.
