PAUL O’DONOVAN SHOWED his intent at the World Rowing Championships in Canada with a comfortable qualification for the A/B semi-final of the Lightweight Men’s Single Sculls.
Fresh from his Olympic heroics alongside Fintan McCarthy in Paris, O’Donovan’s hunt for a seventh world title began with a first-place finish in a time of 6:41.98 in the fourth heat at St Catharine’s.
It was slower than Italian Niels Torre who earlier set a new world best time in 6:39.65 as the pair prepare to face off later this week.
O’Donovan has already won two world single scull titles, in 2016 and 2017, and is aiming to deliver a famous hat-trick to cap another memorable year.
He finished seven seconds clear of Mexico’s Alexis Lopez Garcia, while Norway’s Oskar Soedal was further back in third.
Brilliant!!!
Love this…hate Gatland.
Agree!
You’re welcome lads ;-)
Brilliant, no one had the heart to tell him BOD not on the bench. I for one hope Johnny has the game of his life and delivers a victory for Lions supporters who are shell shocked today.
These were funny for about 10 seconds, 5 years ago.
These things have been done to death! Reminds me of when people were standing up on buses saying “i dont know what a tracker mortgage is” or something along those lines for about a year after the joke was funny.
This one is still funny.
You shouldn’t laugh, I mean IT’S HITLER, but… even a broken clock is right twice a day and that’s damn good.
While you’ve never been funny!
Sooo funny,but sad.Such a decorated career to end this way…..LETS HOPE THIS DECISION WON’T COME BACK TO HAUNT GATLAND.
I hope it does
Keep um comin
Lmao
