When you're at the top of your physical peak and your condition, you really feel it and

you can feel the difference from other races.

And we got through that semifinal and we kind of both said to each other how excited we

were to get going because we didn't need to dig into our energy reserves to win and we

won that semifinal by quite a lot.

this episode, gold medalist Finton McCarthy. The Irish lightweight rower has been dominating

the sport for a number of years now alongside his partner, Paul O'Donovan. McCarthy entered

the professional rowing world at the age of 15 and has since won three European

championships, three world championships, and of course back-to-back gold medals at the Tokyo

and Paris Games. Fenton and I discuss how Fenton got started in rowing, the mental aspect of

embracing the struggle that is rowing, Fenton's unique breathing technique while racing and breathing

techniques you can do. His Olympic experience in Paris. His whoop data and his sleeping tips.

And then we look ahead to Fenton's pursuit for another medal in L.A. 28. A reminder, I want to let

everyone know that we've got our best sale of the year that's

right around the corner, so please take advantage of that. And if you have a question, what's

with gold medalist, Finton McCarthy.

Okay, Fenton, welcome to the Woo Podcast. Thanks, thanks for having me.
