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

He has two Gold Olympic Medals, World Champion Gold and is the Irish national champ, and Fintan McCarthy is still on cloud nine after Paris 2024. He joined Dave to chat about his secrets to success, the TV show that kept him busy during the games and if he washes his legs in the shower

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.

Tá bonn óir Oilimpeach buaite ag Kellie Harrington na hÉireann i gcró na dornálaíochta sna cluichí Oilimpeacha. Fuair Harrington an ceann is fearr ar Beatriz Ferreira as an mBrasaíl sa gcomhrac ceannais 60kg i dTóiceó Dé Domhnaigh. Tá Harrington ar an tríú dornálaí as Éirinn a chroch bonn óir abhaile ó na Cluichí Oilimpeacha, chomh maith le Katie Taylor i 2012 agus Michael Carruth i 1992. Is as Baile Átha Cliath í Harrington agus oibríonn sí mar ghlantóir go páirt-aimseartha in Ospidéal Ollscoile Naomh Uinseann. Bhuaigh Foireann na hÉireann ceithre bhonn ag na Cluichí.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/yfd52aab Tokyo 2020: Gold medal won by Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy. Tóiceo 2020: Bonn óir buaite ag Paul O'Donovan, Fintan McCarthy. Irish rowers Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy have won an Olympic gold medal in the doubles paddling tournament in Tokyo. Tá bonn óir Oilimpeach buaite ag rámhaithe na hÉireann Paul O'Donovan agus Fintan McCarthy sa chomórtas céaslaire beirte i dTóiceo. Although the Cork duo were the popular choice before the race, they did not hold fast to the gold medal, and the German team stretched to the finish. Cé gur rogha na coitiantachta a bhí sa dís Chorcaíoch roimh an rás ní raibh daingean acu leis an mbonn óir, agus bhí foireann na Gearmáine sínte leo go dtí an deireadh. The Italians came in third. Is iad na hIodálaigh a tháinig sa tríú háit. It took the two men from Skibbereen six minutes, six seconds to finish the race. Sé nóiméad, sé shoicind a thóg sé ar an mbeirt fhear as an Sciobairín an rás a chríochnú. That's 0.86 seconds ahead of the Germans, a little over halfway. Sin 0.86 soicind chun cinn ar na Gearmánaigh, beagán níos mó ná leathfhad. This is the second medal the Irish rowers have won at the Olympic Games in Tokyo to date after the women's team won a bronze medal in the quarter-finals last night. Seo an dara bonn atá buaite ag rámhaithe na hÉireann ag na Cluichí Oilimpeacha i dTóiceo go dtí seo tar éis d'fhoireann na mban bonn cré-umha a bhuachan i gcraobh na gceathrar arú aréir. Speaking to RTÉ after the race, Paul O'Donovan stated that the duo followed the normal course of business during the race. Ag labhairt dó le RTÉ i ndiaidh an ráis, thug Paul O'Donovan le fios gur chloígh an dís leis an modh oibre a bhíonn acu de ghnáth le linn an ráis. He said they expected fierce competition from German and Italian rowers but always had confidence in themselves. Dúirt sé go raibh siad ag súil le géariomaíocht ó iomróirí na Gearmáine agus na hIodáile ach go raibh muinín acu astu féin i gcónaí. Irish President Michael D Higgins congratulated Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy. Rinne Uachtarán na hÉireann Michael D Higgins comhghairdeachas le Paul O'Donovan agus Fintan McCarthy. He said he was a great hero and that his achievements give courage to young athletes in Ireland. Dúirt sé gur sárghaisce a bhí ann agus go dtugann a bhfuil baint amach acu, go dtugann sé misneach do lúthchleasaithe óga in Éirinn.

Skibbereen duo Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy have continued their dominance of the lightweight men’s double sculls after another gold-winning performance on Sunday morning at World Rowing Cup II in Lucerne.
