"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 UA-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.
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! 👍❤️🇨🇦💚🍀
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
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。
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!
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 :)
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. 👏👏👏
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 ^^
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. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻☘️☘️☘️
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! 🇮🇪🤸♂️💚😁
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!
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! 🇺🇸🇮🇪
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 ☺️
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👏👏👏
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. 🇹🇼🇮🇪❤️❤️❤️❤️
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)
Thanks to the UA-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.
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!
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 :)
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.
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!
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
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 .🇮🇪🇮🇪🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
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
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:)
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.
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!
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. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
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.
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!!!!
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.
you did amazingly Rhys, keep at it and keep doing this youtube stuff too! You'll be a genuine inspiration to many young people on an ordinary day, with your social media presence you're only amplifying that effect!
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.
I'am so glad you're still going to be doing UA-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'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 UA-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!
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👍🏻
Thank you Rhys for being an inspiration to us, most especially to the youth. Your journey to Tokyo Olympics is such a wonderful experience to be cherished and remembered for the rest of your life. I am looking foward to your next journey which is the Paris Olympics 2024. I’ll watch your videos always because I can’t wait for you to comeback stronger when your time arrives! 😊💪🏻
Congratulations Rhys ….. you have given us so much joy in posting your videos…….. will continue supporting and watching you all the way to Paris 2004 👏👏👏👏🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
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!🙌🙌
Your gracious and kind energy has been such a positive light for the Tokyo Olympics. I've enjoyed the Olympics more than ever because you've helped educate me about the process and the sport. I have really enjoyed watching and hearing your insights on UA-cam. I look forward to following more of your gymnastics career. Thank you! 💚
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!
You are such a positive, dedicated and inspirational person! I’ve been really enjoying watching your videos and being able to hear all your thoughts. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and so happy to hear that the videos will continue!! Can't wait to see what's next ☘️🙌🏼😊
Thank you for taking us along with you on the Olympic journey! It's great to see your human side apart from the performance in the event!! And your positive outlook is just awe inspiring!! Wishing you all the best for your future young man!!
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.
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! ✌🏻❤️😎
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!
thank you for this great inspiration rhys!, somehow i realized that it's never easy to achieve success on our chosen career but we do have every chances to try and fight for it. i love watching your vids, it gives me light and positive vibes. i'm rooting for you on Paris 2024! -🙌 from 🇵🇭
Thanks for your great performance in Tokyo Olympic. As a Jaranese person, I'm proud that this special competition was held in my county because a lot of great athletes like you showed amazing performances and it delighted many many people who have been suffered from COVID19. I'm sure that the participants like you will be called a hero. Yeah, you are the hero who delighted us. Thank you so so much!! When the pandemic ends, I want you to visit Japan again!! I'm sorry for my poor English. Keep going, Rhys. I wish you all the best from Japan🇯🇵🔥
Congratulations on all you have achieved! You definitely have the right attitude - these videos and all the memories you are curating will be amazing to look back on (with those close to you, particularly) in many years. You are making these videos for yourself, and it's not important whether 70 people or 700k watch them... I like your style and look forward to seeing what you will do next! I am partial to travel stories (as I have enough for several books, need to sit down and write one :) ) and will enjoy watching your future successes! (Glad I saw your viral video. Honestly, the "fake news" comment was what made me find you!) Looks like there is a Hennesy bottle on the windowsill; lift a glass to what's next and enjoy some time to soak in what you have experienced! Cheers!
あなたの笑顔はとても魅力的です。Tokyo2020に来てくれたことを感謝します。どうもありがとうございます。🇮🇪😊🇮🇪🇮🇪🇯🇵😄

お疲れ様でした！
Thanks for your great performance in Tokyo Olympic. As a Jaranese person, I'm proud that this special competition was held in my county because a lot of great athletes like you showed amazing performances and it delighted many many people who have been suffered from COVID19. I'm sure that the participants like you will be called a hero. Yeah, you are the hero who delighted us. Thank you so so much!! When the pandemic ends, I want you to visit Japan again!! I'm sorry for my poor English. Keep going, Rhys. I wish you all the best from Japan🇯🇵🔥
Congratulations on all you have achieved! You definitely have the right attitude - these videos and all the memories you are curating will be amazing to look back on (with those close to you, particularly) in many years. You are making these videos for yourself, and it's not important whether 70 people or 700k watch them... I like your style and look forward to seeing what you will do next! I am partial to travel stories (as I have enough for several books, need to sit down and write one :) ) and will enjoy watching your future successes! (Glad I saw your viral video. Honestly, the "fake news" comment was what made me find you!) Looks like there is a Hennesy bottle on the windowsill; lift a glass to what's next and enjoy some time to soak in what you have experienced! Cheers!
