Olympics: a realistic dream for some |
Among those taking part were Niall Kenny (21), a Galway rower now based at Friar's Walk in Cork. Niall rows full-time and aims on building on his success to date. Niall was a silver medal winner at the U-23 World Championships in 2010 and is training hard with the ambition of going one better this year and taking the gold at the upcoming World Championships in Amsterdam.

Rowing Ireland athletes based in Cork benefit not only from top-class, unrivalled facilities but also from the presence of experienced full-time Rowing Ireland professionals Mark McElroy (performance director), Adrian Cassidy (chief coach) and Rob Baker (lead U-23 coach). To be the best, you need the best; 2012 now looms large.
