Strong placings for Claire Lambe and Paul O’Donovan at Lucerne World Cup

UCD Ad Astra graduate Claire Lambe and current student Paul O’Donovan continued their preparations for the Rio Olympics with 7th and 4th place finishes respectively at the Rowing World Cup II in Lucerne.

Paul and brother Gary again showed that they have the speed to challenge for medals in the LM2x, finishing 4th to the three most recent World Champions and just a second off bronze. Combined with their 2nd place finish at World Cup I in Varese, the O’Donovans are in with a chance of winning the series if they can place highly at World Cup III in Poznan beginning 17th June.

Claire Lambe and her crewmate Sinead Lynch won the B Final of the LW2x, placing 7th overall, as their form continues to improve promisingly at this vital part of the season.
