Ellen Keane catches up with Mags Cremen fresh from winning gold alongside Fintan McCarthy in the Mixed Double Sculls at the recent World Rowing Championships.

Let us know what's on your mindA new boat, a fresh medal, and a partnership built on trust, this conversation dives straight into how Fintan McCarthy and Philip Doyle are reinventing Irish rowing momentum on the road to LA. We pull back the curtain on their whirlwind post-Paris year: Philip navigating shifts in the emergency department before rediscovering his competitive fire, Fintan shifting from lightweight to heavyweight without chasing “dead weight,” and the two of them finding speed after only a handful of rows together. The Shanghai story is bigger than a bronze. Fintan and Mags Cremen snatched a world title in the mixed double with a one-spin warm-up, proving that shared technique and fearless execution can trump rehearsal. Then comes the moment that hits hardest: Jake McCarthy's breakthrough podium in the single, a long-awaited result that Fintan counts among his proudest career highlights. It's high performance shaped by real life—family, grief, and the choice to let emotion sharpen, not shake, the blade.If you're curious about how elite teams actually build speed—through honest conversations, evidence-led training, and hard-earned trust—you'll feel right at home here.

Joining me is a two-time gold medal Olympian who played a big part in Team Ireland's record performance at this summer's Paris Olympics.It gives me real joy to welcome Fintan McCarthy, Irish lightweight rower and double Olympic gold medalist…

On this week's episode, WHOOP Founder and CEO Will Ahmed is joined by two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Fintan McCarthy. The Irish Lightweight rower has been dominating the sport for several years now alongside his partner Paul O'Donovan. McCarthy started rowing professionally when he was 15. He's won 3 European Championships, 3 World Championships, and two gold medals at the Tokyo and Paris games. Will and Fintan discuss how Fintan became a rower (1:45), breaking through the pain threshold (3:54), how to effectively train (5:03), training cadence as a pro (6:35), breathwork techniques (8:16), Fintan's Olympic experiences (13:10), his WHOOP data in Paris (18:35), sleep tips (22:30), winning gold with his partner Paul O'Donovan (26:51), external factors while rowing (31:17), in-race communication tactics (33:09), Fintan's guide to recovery (37:46), and winning a gold medal (40:55).Resources:Fintan's Instagram Follow WHOOPwww.whoop.comTrial WHOOP for FreeInstagramTikTokXFacebookLinkedInFollow Will AhmedInstagramXLinkedInSupport the show

PAUL O'Donovan might have chosen to take some time off after winning his third Olympic – and second gold – medal in Paris during the summer. He would have been well within his rights to rest, recover and let everything sink in.Instead, he travelled to Canada just a couple of weeks later and won his seventh World Rowing title. He also started working as a doctor in the interim.His recent achievements, along with his European and national titles got us thinking, at Star Sport HQ, is Paul O'Donovan the greatest Irish sportsperson of all time?There are plenty of contenders to the title: Roy Keane, Katie Taylor, Henry Shefflin to name but a few.O'Donovan has dominated a sport like no other Irish person has, and has raised the profile of a sport in a way perhaps only Katie Taylor can match.We're obviously biased down here in West Cork, but spoke about why he just might be Ireland's greatest sportsperson of all time on this week's podcast.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

In today's Podcast, we are kicking off a new series that I have been really looking forward to.  We spend a lot of time focused on youth but life is a spectrum and in The Voice of Experience we will be chatting to those who have made a significant contribution to the places we find ourselves in now and who have an informed perspective on how things might go in the future.Our first guest in the series is Richard Hills who got into the sports game in the late 1970's and became the European Director of the Ryder Cup overseeing the tournament's transformation into the massive event it is today.We speak about the ‘Martini-driven' start to his career, the influence of Severiano Ballesteros, the shock of 9/11 and the things he would like to see change in the modern game.  We also have a great motto to live life by and more so without further ado let's head to Wicklow and get down to the chat.Next up on the Podcast is The Road to Paris series, in partnership with Permanent TSB.  We'll be chatting next to Fintan McCarthy, Three-time World Rowing Champion and Gold Medal winner in Tokyo.You can subscribe to this podcast which drops every Tuesday and Thursday across a wide range of sporting areas on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts from.  There are over 40 interviews to listen back to already as well and if you like it give us a nice review and we will name-check you on a future episode.
