Irish Paul and Gary O'Donovan are world champions after winning the gold medal in the World Championships in Bulgaria September 15 2018

The O'Donovan brothers are world champions following victory in Bulgaria.

"We were very strong and very fit. We trained hard all year. We got two summers this year, we went to New Zealand and Australia. I'd say a lot of people thought we went down there for a bit of a party. We went down there with the priority to work hard." 

The Olympic silver medalists romped to glory in the lightweight double skulls in the World Championships. 

The Skibbereen duo looked comfortable throughout the 2km race and, as usual, finished strongly in the final 500m to secure the victory ahead of the Italian crew with Belgium in third.

Following the race, the brothers admitted that it was one of their best-ever peformances.
