Ireland will send 13 crews to the upcoming World Rowing Championships in Czechia where the duo of Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy will be defending their lightweight double sculls title.
The pair won gold last month at the European Championships in Munich. They will be hoping to keep that winning form.
Rowing Ireland have confirmed that, “crew selection is still ongoing and entries… may have slight changes prior to racing,” but as of now, the highly successful crew will be representing Ireland at the Racice International Rowing and Canoeing Course.
Sanita Puspure, who won single sculls gold in Austria in 2019, will travel as part of the double sculls pairing alongside Zoe Hyde.

Team Ireland won silver in the men’s heavyweight double sculls three years ago. Philip Doyle is retained from that team, but he’ll be partnered this time around by Konan Pazzaia.
