#Rowing: Ireland crews at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro must wait at least at day to compete, as racing has been cancelled for the day. The weather also forced the cancellation of the entire programme on Sunday. The Ireland lightweight double sculls of Sinéad Lynch and Claire Lambe and Paul and Gary O’Donovan were due to go into action in semi-finals at 1pm and 1.10pm Irish time. Single sculler Sanita Puspure was also due to compete in her C/D Semi-Final at 3.40pm.
Waiting: Gary and Paul O'Donovan and coach Dominic Casey.
