Fintan McCarthy has hinted that himself and Paul O’Donovan could combine with fellow Olympic medallists Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch for the Games in Los Angeles in 2028.

McCarthy and O’Donovan successfully defended the gold medal in the men’s lightweight double sculls that they won in Tokyo in 2021 but the event will no longer continue beyond the recent Paris Games.
