The O'Donovan brothers gave up considerable distance through steering corrections. As a former 'lighty' I was hoping they'd knock the 'heavies' off. Keep pulling like dogs, boys!

[@48forks]

ofc the O'Donovans are more "punchy" its hard to have an incredibly relaxed stroke around at their height and still move the boat as well.

[@julikenn]

Lighties will rarely beat heavies! O'Donovan's well beaten!

[@dp9862]

They beat the heavies in the semi final…

[@askiff1415]

@@dp9862 they weren’t equivalent heavies. Groom and Beaumont are. The saying goes a good heavyweight will always beat a good lightweight and so it goes.

[@phawkins1966]

Such biased commentary. Very disappointing.

[@rf1283]

Horrible commentary.

[@dp9862]

It’s because they’re British, they have some sort of agenda against Irish people.

[@user-hj6tt7jf8w]

@@dp9862 that’s just not true is it

[@dp9862]

@@user-hj6tt7jf8w it is very much so true

[@Skybar23]

now you see the big difference between light weight and the heavier class. Blown apart

[@stephsagit1]

The Brits know how to stay calm and steady, yet keep their pace up.

[@donnachakeeley1818]

They are heavies that's why....

[@dp9862]

Look at the Irish brothers semi, they stayed calm and steady too but it’s just the pure weight difference between the two boats that’s the problem. The Irish team are lightweight and the GB team are heavyweights

[@mickr007]

Weathered well, that comment! :)

[@thesaint8400]

How is rowing still legal in 2018? It's barbaric to make men row until they collapse. Slavery 2.0

[@cathallawlor989]

The Saint The Saint we row if we want. It’s not forced. Quit when you want, if you want. The real slavery is in South America and China.

[@thesaint8400]

Hardrive33 this is enabling, PURE and SIMPLE

[@Skybar23]

how is it any different to a triathlete, marathon runner or any contact sport where they can get brain damage from collisions

[@cathallawlor989]

The Saint it’s called free will. I can quit at anytime I want, a slave can’t. As mentioned by the other commenter, why isn’t other triathlons, athletics, rugby etc stopped? They all ‘enable slavery’ in your eyes. Why are you not asking to stop them too?

[@patrickslingo1811]

This is the most stupid comment I've seen on youtube in quite some time
