🥉 Bronze for Ireland!

Martin O’Grady & Donagh Claffey (University of Galway) took 3rd in the U23 M2x A Final at the World Rowing U23 Champs in Poznań — just 0.01s off silver!

Led at 500m & powered through a thrilling sprint to the line. Incredible performance!

Amongst the huge Irish crowd here at Vaires-sur-Marne to watch the Olympic Games I was lucky to meet two very special rowing people: Tom Fennessey of Clonmel and Eleanor Casey, a Skibbereen coach; her daughter Aoife an A Finalist, her husband Dominic the Ireland lightweight coach

Kathleen Noble grew up in Uganda, the daughter of Irish missionaries. She was the first white person ever to represent Uganda in the Olympics in any sport and she heads to Paris to do it again. Loved chatting to her about her unique Olympic story.

Take a look at the great CityxChange initiative we have been involved in and how it has helped us become a more energy efficient club which is contrubuting to a more sustainable future 🌳☀️

Thor was instrumental to the development of Rowing Ireland and many of our members have very fond memories of his dedication to Irish Rowing. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

The stories are true:

Reasons for a youth athletic development program...

The stories of the soccer players who can bend it like Beckham but fail to balance on one leg are true.

The stories of 11 year olds dropping curve balls but can't hang from a bar for more than 30 seconds are true...

The stories of college level athletes who can't skip in place are true...

The stories of children sitting in class all day with minimal physical outlets are true...

The stories of shortened recess and physical education in schools are true...

The stories of empty neighborhoods and playgrounds because kids are sitting inside or at practice are true...

The stories of young children playing sports that involve throwing, hitting, and kicking before they can actually throw, hit or kick are true...

The stories of 6 year olds playing elite-superteam-travel-allstars all year are true...

The stories of children who play contact sports but don't know how to fall, roll, or tumble are true...

The stories of children quitting sports altogether at age 12 or 13 are true...

The stories of uncoordinated children who then become exercise averse adults are true...

Celebrate a great performance! Ireland's Margaret Cremen and Aoife Casey won their B Final and took the one Olympic qualification spot available from this race for the lightweight double at World Champs. Well judged and brave: 6 Olympic crews and one Paralympic through so far.

[liam gorman @lmgorman77]

Another brilliant morning for the Irish here at Belgrade. Ireland's Zoe Hyde and Alison Bergin have just qualified the women's double for Paris with second in their World Championship semi. Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch did exactly the same earlier. See https://t.co/1hdpCaJt8J
