Katie Taylor, Olympic Gold Medal Winner & Local Hero

(AUDIO is quite LOUD... adjust your volume downwards!)
Katie Taylor winning Olympic Gold Medal at London 2012 and the reaction from the crowd in her home town, Bray, Co. Wicklow, Ireland! KATIE YOU LEGEND! The wait after the bell was total agony.... Thousands gathered to see the match, to see the local girl crowned Olympic Champion! Jubilation all round.... A true living legend, a national hero. Inspring a generation.

I'd have been jumping for joy myself only for I was trying to record the reaction while balancing a kid on my shoulders! ;-)

Prior to this, Katie Taylor has won 4 World Amateur Championship titles, 5 European Amateur Championship titles and 4 European Union Amateur Championship titles. But, the one she always wanted, Olympic Champion, was only made possible this year with the inclusion of Women's boxing in London2012. She is a true champion in every sense of the word.... a Living Legend! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katie_Ta...

listen you Brit bastard here is some facts for you....Britain has a population of 62 million ye won 65 medals Ireland has 4.5 million and we won 5 medals going by that if we had a population of 65 million we would have more medals than ye but due to the murder,rape,famine caused by the British of population is still only recovering from 8.5 million in the 1800s so go watch drug cheat Dwaine Chambers videos and by the way most of the G.B team are of black decent cause you brits are shit!

"More of a realist than a racist" - yet you describe all Irish people as stupid, ginger and living in caravans? Maybe you should look up the meaning, along with it the correct way to spell ASIAN. Now maybe you should be checking ebay there might be a life you can bid on, as you don't have one.

US economy is not a saving one, low interest, and foreign investment is the way it is set up. I know this is not what you have heard on conspiracy videos, David Icke sorry to burst your bubble. "Little or no social skills" Irish are renowned for being friendly, you have got to be the biggest moron I have ever witnessed. "Terrible accent", not what girls here think. Oh well, enjoy your conspiracies, delusion and racism.

1. I am not from USA, just live here. 2. Look David Icke, every country has debt, the difference USA's economy is large enough to repay it. Well looks like the UK is trying to breed out any native race, it's been so good at doing that around the world for years that it's doing it to itself. You could be the mouth piece for this - "I am so retarded we have to get immigrants in to do everything". Mind you nothing new there.

[cadnewham]

Insignificant? Ever heard of the USA? Yes the most powerful country in the world. How many people there claim Irish heritage? Who funded the IRA. "Speak coherently" you should take a trip to East London where the games were held and talk to the locals, well the ones that aren't from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which isn't many. More than half you're medals were won by immigrants, why don't Ireland just say Usain Bolt is Irish in that case.

GB medals that came mostly from people that dont even have English ancestry. Fuck you cunt! Mongrel English cunts will never beat the Irish and if you try it, again we can just as easily put the balaclavas back on and light you up! BOOM!

Just for the record, the contribution from this EvilBlackTruth character is not typical of the British reaction to Katie Taylor's Gold. On the contrary, the home fans were cheering just as loudly for her as they were for their own people. I was there and I witnessed it. Thre's always one screwball. Ignore him. He's just craving attention.
