Irish Olympian(s) of the Day - Paul and Fintan

They were cutting through the records like their blades through the water as Fintan McCarthy and Paul O’Donovan swept to victory overnight in Tokyo.

Ireland’s first-ever Rowing Gold medal.

Paul O’Donovan only the second Irish person in history to win medals at two Olympic Games

We fell in love with his languid wit and charm in Rio and it is happening all over again now that he has gone one better.

One poignant touch which Paul revealed in the post-race interview is that his brother Gary was on a plane out of Tokyo as the race was run, having travelled as a reserve this time around but not getting a place on a boat.
