Watch as Skibbereen erupts at the O'Donovan's silver medal win

Read More:

The two brothers from Skibbereen have become the nation's favourite Olympians thanks to their laid-back attitude, tales of schteak and schoup and a uniquely-Corkonian knack for a turn of phrase.

And everyone is absolutely thrilled that they've got their medal.

Huge congrats to the O'Donovan brothers from Skibbereen!! #rio2016 #silver #PullLikeADog

Cork produced greatest footballer, hurler, athlete, horse-racing trainer, and now rowers. There'll be no talking to them.
