Ireland rowers Daire Lynch and Philip Doyle took bronze in the men’s double sculls with a fast finish at Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
The pair were down on most of the the field through the first 500 metres, but slowly made their way through it to force their way into medal contention.
With Romania and the Netherlands in a battle for gold, Lynch and Doyle went for broke over the last 500 and reeled in American pair Ben Davison and Sorin Koszyk to take bronze.
Doyle and Lynch recorded a time of six minutes 15.7 seconds with Romania, in lane one, taking gold to upset second-placed Netherlands second.
Romania’s winning time was six minutes 12.58secs with the Dutch just over a second behind.
