PHILIP DOYLE AND Ronan Byrne finished fourth in the men’s doubles B final at Sea Forest Waterway this morning.
The pair crossed the line with a time of 6:16.89. It means they are tenth overall.
Coming in first was Russia, clocking 6:13.74. New Zealand took second with Romania finishing third and just .03 seconds ahead of the team Ireland rowers.
Doyle and Byrne had been tipped as medal contenders at these Games given they finished second at the 2019 World Championships but missed out on a final spot after a disappointing semi-final performance where they finished sixth.
