One of these days Paul O’Donovan might let his guard down and slip in something serious and maybe then we will know whether Fintan McCarthy is laughing with him or at him.
In defending their European title here at the old Munich Olympic regatta venue in the northern outskirts of the city, adding another gold medal to their World and Olympic titles, they seemingly toyed with the other five boats, allowing a young Swiss crew to take an early lead, while the Italians initially gave chase.
At the halfway 1,000-metre mark O’Donovan and McCarthy moved into second, still utterly unbothered by the Swiss crew who were clearly giving their all. McCarthy wasn’t bothered by the fast start of the Swiss either: “I think we just kept a consistent pace the whole way through to the end which I guess the other crews didn’t. We pushed it on in the last 500m. I’ve had a good year. It worked very well. I pushed on a bit and Paul is obviously phenomenal, and we’re getting better individually and then that makes the double better.”
They likely wanted more than two medals won here too, O’Donovan and McCarthy’s gold on Sunday following Saturday’s silver medal won by the Irish women’s four crew of Eimear Lambe, Aifric Keogh, Tara Hanlon and Natalie Long.
