Olympic bronze medallist Aifric Keogh supports World Rowing’s decision to exclude Russia and Belarus from international competition and feels all sporting bodies and athletes have a duty to use their platform to oppose Russia’s attack on Ukraine.

"Everybody is talking about it and sport makes it easier to pay attention to what is going on and to understand it,” says the Galway oarswoman who was part of Ireland’s historic bronze-winning Four in Tokyo.
