2023 European Rowing Championships Review
LM2x (Lightweight men’s doubles)
The ever-competitive light doubles, now definitely in their penultimate year as a top event, was a total bunfight, featuring a lot of good oarsmen. The latest Italian incarnation is Gabriel Soares with the evergreen Stefano Oppo, who won the heats along with Switzerland and Ireland. The latter featured Hugh Moore here alongside Fintan McCarthy because Paul O’Donovan has only just finished his medical exams and wanted to go to his graduation.
