  1. Romania a huge shock there, slowest qualifiers and the Dutch were odds on to win it. The lads did well to come back strong at the end though

  2. Said in the mega thread, but that Romanian run was absolutely ridiculous, I have no idea where they found that upper gear. Fair play to them.

    Well done to the lads as well, they had a great run and solidified a medal in the final stretch.

  3. 4 medals now, I’d say we might win the whole thing at this rate

  4. Probably left it a bit late to pull on and get that silver. But what do I know, a fantastic achievement by the boys. Delighted for them and another medal in the bag for Ireland.

  5. Disappointing. And our gold medal count’s not looking too hot. Hopefully Kellie will do the business.

  6. Not getting the same exposure as it was on so early in the day but it’s some achievement

  7. Not Irish, but I’ve seen you win swimming gold and now rowing bronze in person. Let me know if you need me to attend any other events 😂

    Edit: Back here tomorrow hoping for repeat Irish gold.

  8. Well Done Lads ! The hard work has paid off , what an achievement !

  9. Amazing to get a bronze but honestly feels like a missed opportunity from us for silver at a min. Romania really shocked us and the Dutch by flying off. Thought they would have died come 1500.

    But I’m being selfish here given it’s only our fourth medal at the games. Fucking delighted for the lads.

  10. The guy on the right looks more like a member of a morning radio duo.

  11. Did he just say “nearly barfed my ring up on the podium” live on RTE 😂

  12. If someone could drop a link to the race it would be much appreciated 😅
    Delighted they won a medal but from watching the semis they were the fastest time! But from reading comments the Romanian team really pulled one out of the bag so fair play to them.

  13. These lads are the most Irish looking rowers you could ever imagine. Fair fucking play, what a performance.
