Ireland has not had many world records in any sport. Olympics will be interesting.

For a Nation with less than 5 Million of population; not to bad... 🙂

[@MrKernkraft4000]

I thought it was a typo when I saw two Irish "WIFF" on the screen - did not realize he had a brother that was just as world-class! Amazing! Also, his turns are spectacular.

Born and bread in Armagh good lad.

[@TheLoungelizard1967]

I think he was born in Leeds and moved to Armagh with his family at 2 years of age. He said this in an interview. Amazing talent.
