Dude, you came in 7th in an Olympic Final for pommel horse! I’ve done pommel and it’s hard and requires years of dedication and hard work. You’re going to keep on rising Rhys. Can’t wait for the next Olympics! 👍❤️🇨🇦💚🍀
"first" olympic experience is right - this is the first of many! you did us all proud over there, rhys. you had all of our tiny country behind you while you showed the world what you could do. you've a bright future ahead of yourself. can't wait to see what you have in store for paris 2024!
Rhys - you are such an inspirational role model. You are philosophical, wise, resilient and positive. Thank you for sharing your processes and journey with all of us. You are an Olympic finalist in your first Olympics!! So proud of you. This New Zealander appreciates your candor, video style and attitude. Pleased to hear videos don't end with Olympics - looking forward to what's next!
Awww thank you! 🥺 Jk, Mr. McClenaghan is an amazing man, so proud of him! Definitely has so much to take and celebrate from these games (including a booming TH-cam channel!). - A fellow Rhys
Agreed. His interview after his immediate disappointment was one of the most moving and inspirational you will ever find. It should be played over and over for young sports men and women EVERYWHERE. This is the true Olympian spirit.
So proud of you Rhys! The fact that you didn’t get so disheartened by the result and instead took this experience into your stride is truly inspiring. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you, keep going lad we’re all rooting for your success! 🇮🇪🤸♂️💚😁
Thank you for your hard work. It feels like something is missing in Tokyo, where you are gone. Please come to Tokyo again. お疲れ様でした。あなたの居なくなった東京はなんだかとても寂しい感じです。また、是非東京に来てくださいね。
Hi Rhys! I’m a viewer from Taiwan. Just want to tell you that another gymnast Lee Chih Kai who is from our country also fell when he was competing in Rio 2016 ( he’s first Olympic game and the first person in Taiwan ever made it to the finals). Just keep having faith in yourself! I feel very hopeful for you to win the medal in the future as he did this time!
Big congratulations to Lee for winning Taiwan’s first gymnastics Olympic medal! I hope he can be world and Olympic champion soon, and I hope to see Ting hua-tien medal on beam as well 💜 台灣加油 💪🏼🇹🇼 Love from Australia
Im from Tokyo living in Ireland, it is shame that you couldn’t properly experience Tokyo due to COVID. Hopefully you would visit again. Wish the best luck for your future!
I hope you know that most of us here are simply INSPIRED BY WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON, no matter the result. I am just so glad to have found you in this Olympic 2020. Best wishes to you, be safe and stay happy ^^
Gutted for you and what happened in the final. But you showed that you are a true Olympian. You kept your dignity and held your head high. That counts for so much. Very proud of you Rhys! Strength & Honor! 🇺🇸🇮🇪
Yeah, Rhys! U are a good person deep inside. I can see it in ur eyes everytime you vlog in ur videos. U have a great passion for the craft. U will excel more in it. Congrats for representing ur country well & u made 🇮🇪 proud. 👏👏👏
What a great guy you are - to have achieved so much in sport but also in life is wonderful. All the very best Rhys - I'm looking forward to supporting you in your next endeavours in the sports arena and am so confident your life will be great, whatever may happen :)
Thank you for your positive attitude and inspirational blogs. You will go far Rhys! Tokyo was only a launch pad for many successes to come. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻☘️☘️☘️
Am not Irish. Am Filipino-Español, but am one of ur supporters here. Fantastic job, Rhys! U did well! U represented ur country in the gymnastics well…. Congrats & kudos to you👏👏👏
You’re such a positive person! I love your attitude. I’ve never been that interested in male gymnastics before but you’ve showed me s new sport to love!
From the USA, so proud of you. This video inspired me at a time I really need it. You are such a wise young man and so talented. Really happy you will continue sharing your journey with us and congratulations on your achievements!
Looking forward to seeing you perform in future competitions. I believe in your abilities and talent. Your healthy attitude toward the present situation and your desire to enjoy life is impressive. I will continue to follow your life as you share with all of us. 75 days to your next competition and I will be cheering for you from Michigan USA ☺️
What an inspiring speech!! Thank you for sending so much positive thoughts even the final outcome isn't perfect. Knowing and for sure that we'll see you again after 3 years in Paris, I'll definitely keep supporting you. 🇹🇼🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
British guy here who is very proud of you bro. You are an amazing gymnast and I think you're going to do so much for Irish gymnastics. In a couple years when Ireland have a great team... it's gonna be because you inspired young Irish people to push gymnastics forward. You have an amazing future ahead of you. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
You are modest,wise,persevering! And your thoughts inspired me a lot.Hope you can put the best foot forward In the next stage !! PEACE from Taiwan 🇹🇼 (Chinese Taipei)
This video makes me soo emotional! I know Rhys is keeping such a great attitude, but I know deep down he is hurting, he is definitely hurting. The sacrifices...every day... for years and years and years to reach a goal, and achieve the goal, only to have the slightest of slipups keep you from the ultimate goal. I can't imagine everything going on inside his head. I just hope he has the best support system around him now, and people he can talk with and get out all those feelings and emotions.
Rhys, I'm so proud of you for becoming an Olympian, for making the final, and for handling adversity with perspective and grace. As a guy who's been to the Games as a spectator, watched my friends compete, and saw a bit of the "scene behind the scenes" I know how special this was for you. I feel bad for you and all of the athletes that due to Covid you couldn't have the full Olympic experience in Tokyo, competing in front of cheering crowds, touring around the host city with your fellow athletes and being treated as the superstar you truly are after your competition ended. I hope you can experience all that and more in Paris. I'll be eagerly watching your progress and will forever be cheering for you.
Thanks to the TH-cam algorithm, I got to discover this channel and see how much of a genuinely great person and an athlete you are. I watched you compete and I'll be your fan for life. Sending all my love from France and wishing you luck for the future.
One of my quotes is from the film Cool Runnings. "A gold medal is a wonderful thing but if you're not enough without it, you'll never be enough with it" You sir I believe are more than enough and one day you'll get that medal
Looking forward to seeing your performance in the next competition and next olympics. The TV commentator said, "I'm looking forward to his future." I wish your stay in Tokyo has been a great one. please come back to Japan again sometime:)
Thank you for sharing your journey. It to so rare for people to see a glimpse of the preparation that goes into an Olympic Games or major event. So thank you! Was guttered for you in the pommel final, but I knew it wouldn’t deter you! Stay positive and enjoy the next phase :)
Just keep up what you're doing come back fighting .You'll never walk alone .We all love you and to Ireland 🌈 peace.Your so lovely and down to earth.Your parents should be very proud as we all are.Love Ireland 🌈🌈💚.The luck of the Irish .🇮🇪🇮🇪🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
You are an amazingly grounded young man. Your perspectives are truly interesting and worth listening to. Congratulations on making the Olympic Games as an Irishman.
I've watched the final. When after the first good solid performers the commentator said Rhys Mcclenaghan is the main rival for gold because he will show a very different, high-risk routine I was like "Wait, that's the guy I know from TH-cam." I'm not Irish, but I feel a bit proud of you, too. Well done, take the risk, go for gold, believe in yourself!
Kudos on your amazing achievements in trailblazing gymnastics in your country by being a first in the Olympic world for Ireland as a finalist. Not only that, but all your years of excellence. The dedication that athletes put into Olympic sports and all the sacrifices is amazing. You have a great attitude. Keep living your dream and fighting for your dreams because it is a beautiful thing. And we will be watching. Respect.
What a good saying! I loved watching you from America. I never watched the pummel before this Olympics. Thanks for making it look fun. You are so dedicated
Congratulations Rhys on a huge accomplishment! Olympian and Olympic finalist in your first games. Brilliant job! You have such an amazing perspective on elite sport and life. The best is yet to come. Enjoy the journey to Paris 2024 and beyond!🙌🙌
You’re such an amazing, passionate and optimistic athlete! Glad that you learn so much in this olympic game. Keep it up! I’m sure that I will see you in 2024 olympic✊✊ Btw, hope your wrist get well soon!
I'am so glad you're still going to be doing TH-cam . Just have a good rest and relaxation.Your just a well grounded young man . Good luck in everything you do Ireland should be proud of you.All young people should look up to you to see what they can achieve if you but your mind to it .You'll never walk alone.luck of the Irish.🍀🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚💚🔯💚💚💚💚💚☮️
I am so impressed with your composure and maturity with this. Ypu are proud of your achievements, as you should be, and aren't letting the personal disappointments ruin your mood/next 3 years. You're young and extremely talented, it's clear that you can get there again and show the world your best, and even if you don't win the gold, I think proving yourself really is the goal with gymnastics. Good luck on the future dude, I'll be following you!
You made us proud. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you to Tokyo. Keep enjoying each moment and each day. Being your best self especially on the days that you are not your best. I am cheering you on. The Olympics in Paris will be here soon.
So proud of you, my wee daughter is a gymnast at rainbow gym in Dundonald and i know all the boys squad all really look up to you. Cant wait to see you in Paris.
I say Thank you .You were the first man showing respect to olympics tokyo's encouragement,like cardboard bed,food and etc. I subscribe your channel. Good luck!
Congratulations on being the finalist at the Olympic. I am Japanese and live in Japan, but I was cheering for you when I was watching your performance. It must have been a tough journey to come to this event for you, but you made it! We Japanese are very proud of you. Please come visit to Japan again! We keep cheering for you!!!
Came for the jumping on the cardboard bed video but really appreciate you showing us behind the scenes at the village and your training and prep. Congrats on making the final!
Really appreciate your perspective and energy, feels like i can relate so much on how important to rise everytime we fall. Honored to be able to be ome of your audience and supporter. Looking forward to your future endeavours!
Congratulations on your 1st Olympic Games! Hope you enjoy your off season!! Was a pleasure watching and listening to you talk about it!! Love that accent of yours!! Take care! ✌🏻❤️😎
Watching the final last Sunday, I was so certain you and Ireland were going to medal with the possibility of the gold, I had that much confidence in your ability to do that well, I was absoluting gutted for you. BUT you still made history that day, first Irish gymnast in an Olympic final and your media interview afterwards was really inspiring, one that shows how resilient you are in your sport. Yourself and Matteo Berritinni (Italian tennis player and Wimbledon finalist) have been such great examples sports people doing something historic for yourselves and your countries, and to come out with resilience following a disappointment and determination in wanting to achieve in the future. Go n-éiri leat!
Great Vlog, I’ve been to Newtownards many times, lovely Town, going again in September, I won’t deny I was rooting for Matt, as he was defending his title, but I knew you were his biggest challenger and still are, when you fell on the Apparatus, I was shocked, but believe you will win the Paris Games, you are still young, Good luck👍🏻
Rhys, please send me your autograph hahha,,, in a postcard or a little souvenir from there. thank you, I am your neighborhood haha, like yeah, a stone throw away from Olympic Village
We are so proud of you! And your attitude and the way you enjoyed the journey. Thank you for taking us along. We will be watching you and keeping up with your progress from the USA. Can't wait to see where you go from here.
We are so proud of you. We are your biggest supporters. We are ready for you to medal at the World Championships. Anyways we are so proud of you and we support you all the way.
You are the BOMB!!!! Was definitely pulling for you at your time on pommel!!! Despite the turn out, you are great at your sport and look forward to you representing in worlds and 2024!!!!
Thank you for bringing all of us with you! You are such an amazing guy, looking forward to more room you! You are helping keep me hoping too … ok mastere Racewalk. Let’s keep going kiddo. You are motivating.
Well, I think the nicest compliment I can give you is that the maturity of thought and sincerity of emotions you display in this video is exactly what you have taught us to expect from you. Well done, and it will be a pleasure to follow you in the various aspects of your bright future.
I followed your videos leading up to the games and so wanted you to achieve your goal. I was absolutely gutted for you and yep I shed a tear or two when you came off and willed you on the finish. I'm a Brit, and I was rooting for you so damn much!!! I really think if you'd have completed your routine you would have challenged our Max for the gold . Look forward to seeing you in Paris Ryhs. Your videos are fabulous to watch. You should be so so proud. Olympian- no more said Bienvenue a Paris 2024, bonne chance !!
You gave me chills. So much effort was on this one single experience. Bravo!! I will be interested in your next life choices. I feel every Olympian has worked harder and longer than I could imagine. However I have my favorite events that make me yell at the tv during the Olympics. Yes, I sighed with your mishap…but I also said BRAVO when you completed your round. CONGRATULATIONS enjoy your time off!
Such a mature head on your shoulders! You're an inspiring dude, really rooting for ya in Paris. At least its only three years away and hopefully we'll get to follow your journey to gold.
And thanks to you Rhys for making all of this video and share with us your story, it was so fun and just keep me motivated to be more passionate in doing things that i love, it was amazing along the way and for sure in future too. Congrats on your achievement man you deserve it!
You have to be so incredibly proud of what you have achieved in Tokyo, you made history there by performing at an olympic final! Not everybody can say that. You have a bright future, Paris 2024 is just around the corner and you will surely have all our support along the way. The best is yet to come Rhys, your rise has only started :)

You gave me chills. So much effort was on this one single experience. Bravo!! I will be interested in your next life choices.
I feel every Olympian has worked harder and longer than I could imagine. However I have my favorite events that make me yell at the tv during the Olympics. Yes, I sighed with your mishap…but I also said BRAVO when you completed your round.
CONGRATULATIONS enjoy your time off!
