Corkman inspires Greece to rowing bronze

Corkman John Holland has given host nation Greece what he narrowly failed to secure for Ireland at Atlanta 1996 - a first ever Olympic rowing medal.

The 57-year-old coach, who agonisingly watched Ireland's lightweight four fail to close a four-second gap on bronze medalists Denmark eight years ago, has been working his magic on Vasileios Polymeros and Nikolaos Skiathitis, at the behest of the Greek Rowing Federation, for a year-and-a-half.
