SARAH DINEEN: O’Donovan brothers gunning for more glory in Racice

Gary and Paul O’Donovan will be defending their European lightweight double sculls title at the 2017 European Rowing Championships this weekend, writes Sarah Dineen.

More than 500 top rowers head to Racice, Czech Republic (near Prague) to compete in the championships, which run from Friday May 26 to Sunday May 28.

Teams from 34 nations have entered, and the Irish team remains the same as World Cup I in Belgrade, Serbia just three weeks ago, where the Irish won two medals.
