“Mags Cremen and Aoife Casey also reached the final of women’s lightweight double scull, which means that Ireland will have four boats in Olympic finals for the first time ever.”Ireland’s Margaret Cremen and Aoife Casey HAVE QUALIFIED for the Olympic final. The Cork duo finished in third place behind Romania and Greece but managed to see off the reigning Olympic silver medalists, France. A superb row from the Irish pair. The Olympic final is on Friday.
None of the top 15 crews has more than 80 points so all still have a shot of qualifying and the Irish duo will be hoping to keep their scores to a minimum tomorrow to guarantee their top 10 spot and a chance to race for the medals on Thursday., who gave a tactical masterclass in her opening win, is just one victory away from a historic second Olympic medal. She faces Angie Paola Col Valdes Pana of Colombia, a world silver medallist last year, in the lightweight quarter-finals.
