Watch as family and Skibbereen react to the O'Donovan's historic Olympic silver

They've done it.

With the entire country cheering them on, Gary and Paul O'Donovan pulled like a dog and won silver, narrowly beaten by France.

The two brothers from Skibbereen have become the nation's favourite Olympians thanks to their laid-back attitude, tales of schteak and schoup and a uniquely-Corkonian knack for a turn of phrase.

And everyone is absolutely thrilled that they've got their medal.

Huge congrats to the O'Donovan brothers from Skibbereen!! #rio2016 #silver #PullLikeADog

Cork produced greatest footballer, hurler, athlete, horse-racing trainer, and now rowers. There'll be no talking to them.

The O'Donovan family also watched on in delight as Gary and Paul collected silver.
