Gary O’Donovan and Paul O’Donovan have opened up about their first time on the water.
The rowers became an internet sensation earlier this year after they won silver at the Olympics in Rio.
Now, RTE has filmed a special one-hour documentary, Pull Like A Dog, about the brothers as they return to their parish of Lisheen and Skibbereen rowing club in the aftermath of their success.
In the documentary, the brothers sit with their father Teddy O’Donovan and talk the beginning of their journey.
“After that Sunday I was probably dreaming of what might be really, rather than what would be,” their father said.
Pull Like A Dog airs on RTE 1 Tuesday 27th December at 9.25pm.
