Olympics Podcast: Wind in rowers' sails and purple track beckons for Irish runners

While the wind failed to blow for Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove in Marseille, the double sculls crew of Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch added the fourth Irish medal of the Games under their own steam.

Also, Jessie Barr returns to preview the first day of athletics, with Rhasidat Adeleke likely to sidestep the mixed relay on the purple track at Stade de France this morning.

Jessie also suffers through Mikey's latest Olympics yarn, about the Czech runner who Sifan Hassan is hoping to emulate.
