Ep.8: Heartbreak for Katie Taylor, Rio's Jesse Owens

Hotline Rings: Rio 2016

16 August: On today's show we analyse Katie Taylor's shock defeat yesterday, from the loss of key figures in her corner to overly-ambitious expectations. We also look ahead to our last boxer, Michael Conlan, who will fight an old nemesis later today. Annalise Murphy's medal race yesterday was delayed , and if it is delayed again, Murphy will automatically win the bronze. Sinead spent yesterday with Murphy's family, who almost had to leave the party. And finally we will look at French pole vaulter Renaud Lavillenie who bizarrely compared himself to Jesse Owens after losing yesterday, to much criticism.
