Team Ireland is currently competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics, having secured a total of four medals thus far, including a gold from swimmer Daniel Wiffen and a bronze in men's double sculls from Philip Doyle and Daire Lynch. The lightweight men's double sculls final features Irish rowers Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy, who are favorites to win gold following a strong semifinal performance. In the women's double sculls, New Zealand's Lucy Spoors and Brooke Francis claimed gold, narrowly defeating Romania and Great Britain in a close race.
