‘Olympic finalists, fantastic’: Sinead Lynch and Claire Lambe are going for gold

“Olympic finalists, fantastic. It means all the sacrifices have been worthwhile, especially in the last year.“

All eyes are Cork brothers Gary and Paul O’Donovan in the run-up to this afternoon’s lightweight double sculls final.

The brothers’ entertaining interviews have made them national stars, but don’t forget there are two other Irish rowers going for gold today - Sinead Lynch and Claire Lambe were the first Irish boat to make a final.
