Paris 2024: Men's pair of Ross Corrigan and Nathan Timoney miss out on medal

Ross Corrigan and Nathan Timoney missed out on a medal in the men's pair after a sixth-place finish in the A final at Paris 2024.

The Enniskillen Rowing Club duo were the first of three Irish crews in medal race action but finished 6.83 seconds off the pace of gold medalists Croatia, crewed by the Sinkovic brothers.

Great Britain took silver and bronze went to Switzerland.

Starting in lane six, Ireland were third after the first 500m behind Great Britain and Romania, before dropping back to fifth at halfway.

They remained there at the 1500m mark but slipped back to sixth by the finish line.

Earlier on Friday, Aifric Keogh and Fiona Murragh (above) finished second in the B final of the women’s pair. The duo were part of the women’s four crew that won bronze at Tokyo 2020.

Paul O’Donovan and Fintan McCarthy will be aiming for back to back golds in the men’s lightweight double sculls later this morning, while Margaret Cremen and Aoife Casey will face the women’s final.
