Tiarnán O'Donnell claims gold at Para Rowing World Cup
Tiarnán O'Donnell claimed the gold medal with victory in the PR2 Men's Single Sculls A final at the Para Rowing World Cup in Varese, Italy on Saturday. The 2024 Paris Paralympian improved markedly on his time set during Friday's preliminary qualifying phase, shaving five seconds off that row to cross the finish line in 8:36.61. The final had been due to take place on Sunday but was moved forward by a day due to weather-related concerns. But that did not faze the Limerick para rower who established an early lead over second-placed Uzbekistan which he never relinquished en route to a win by six seconds. "I'm delighted with my performance," said the Lee Rowing Club member.
