2024 World Rowing Championships - Lightweight Men's Single Sculls - A-Final

[@Kadiontherock]

Paul O’Donovan is Ireland’s best athlete of all times! Congratulations, Skibbereen Abú ❤

[@fenway7794]

He was in the conversation a month ago but its put to bed now and the man still have a few years left ...definitely irelands best sports person ever 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Kadiontherock]

@@fenway7794 he’s an absolute beast, RTÉ Sports Person of the year award is in the bag I reckon. Your man wins an Olympic gold in doubles then goes to casually win a world championship on his own and still plays it down.

[@tomgreene1843]

He is the best by some distance ...but not given due credit by Irish media in my view ...

[@Kadiontherock]

@@tomgreene1843 that’s because he has no time for their narrative and doesn’t play the media game, fair play to him! He does his job and then disappears 😂

[@noelmadden1920]

​@@Kadiontherockthey'll give him the team award so they can give the solo award to another gold medalist, probably Wiffen

[@seamusweber8298]

Congratulations Paul. We are all rightly proud, and privileged to see your unique achievements. Thank you

Congrats Paul, fantastic rowing and congrats to all competitors.

[@munsterfloyd]

Incredible performance from Paul.

[@fuzzy1237]

While this race was happening Irish tv decided to show a pre season nfl game and a college game Disgraceful Ireland’s greatest sportsman and couldn’t be bothered showing it

[@tomgreene1843]

You are correct he does not get his due ...but he fails a few tests to be their darling!

[@fuzzy1237]

@@tomgreene1843 yep He doesn’t play their game After Rio the media tried to make him a clown figure Now he barely gives them anything He’s a very intelligent man I’ll be at homecoming next Sunday in skibereen Incredible athlete

[@helenheeney2284]

Couldn't agree more outrageous that they didn't show this

[@tomgreene1843]

@@helenheeney2284 Just think why that might be the case. World rowing have the race on utube ...but none of our brave AHTE presenters ...as yet!

[@joemaloney8911]

The fact that they didn't even have a car to pick the lad's up after flying into Dublin after the Paris Olympics says all you need to know .

There's no doubt or argument over the fact that paul o donovan is the greatest sportsman this country has ever seen

[@tomd1459]

Well done Paul

[@patrickforde5314]

Well done

[@tracyharrington6976]

When commentary is your JOB. Please please show some respect and learn the athletes NAMES and proper pronunciation.. 😖

[@ryk1265]

Yup, as a Filipino almost nobody get the correct pronunciation of my last name the first time. It used to frustrate me when I was younger but I finally gave up, but on a televised international event there is no excuse. You're either don't give a crap about someone or you're an idiot!

[@ryk1265]

5: 49 PAPAKONSTI-NU-NU! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Kadiontherock]

@@ryk1265I was shouting in front of my telly « it’s not THAT difficult to pronounce!! ». The poor Greek lad, he did so well and they couldn’t even do justice to his name

[@tracyharrington6976]

@@ryk1265 I think I'm biased as all the Irish Sports commentators do a fantastic job at pronouncing foreign names. They do their homework and get the names right but the odd time they will apologise prior to saying the name if its super difficult.

Very bad commentary..its like he knows NOTHING about rowing

[@avoycendeether8869]

I don't know who the announcer was, but he absolutely sucked!

Paul is the 2nd greatest man in the world,,only behind donald trump
