Joe Clarke wins gold medal at the Olympics, random Joe Clarke gets tortured on Twitter

This is the best part of Twitter.

Well, sort of. It's the funniest side of Twitter. Well, sort of. Joe Clarke is a K1 Kayaker for Team GB and, after Wednesday's stunning performance in Rio, he's an Olympic gold medalist. Joe Clarke is also a night-shift worker in Worthing, England. However, of the two of them, this Joe Clarke has the best Twitter handle: @joeclarke. It's simple, no-nonsense, everyone knows how to find you. The only problem is when someone of the same name goes and makes themselves globally renowned - not only that, but they've got a more difficult handle like @joeclarkek1. https://twitter.com/joeclarkek1/status/763427806512578564 So even though the hero teed it up, people still got confused. https://twitter.com/Mistyuk11/status/763446961399799808 And Joe Clarke himself was caught up in Joe Clarke euphoria/confusion. https://twitter.com/joeclarke/status/763446673699897344 But he tried his best to make it obvious. https://twitter.com/joeclarke/status/763445657025802240 This didn't help things. https://twitter.com/BritishCanoeing/status/763444646991294464 Come on Joe. https://twitter.com/matthewcpinsent/status/763418159449767936 We were all rooting for Joe Clarke but what about Joe Clarke? https://twitter.com/cammcgillivray/status/763439094152192000 Eventually, Joe Clarke had to intervene and put the record straight. https://twitter.com/joeclarke/status/763448132390776832 At least Pinsent saw the funny side. https://twitter.com/matthewcpinsent/status/763447834846830594 Low blow. https://twitter.com/SonaliShah/status/763448917795172352 But most people were still cheering him on. The legend. https://twitter.com/larryslord/status/763452724461666305 https://twitter.com/tim_brannigan/status/763480612439293952 https://twitter.com/jeremydowens/status/763451035461517312 https://twitter.com/Blindpete1971/status/763476166816694272 https://twitter.com/OscarTollastUK/status/763475466959355904 https://twitter.com/zoesdevil/status/763463535955480576 Listen to The GAA Hour podcast with Colm Parkinson and Paul Galvin and Senan Connell below.
