Northern Ireland sailing duo's sights set on Rio Olympics

Northern Ireland sailing duo Ryan Seaton and Matt McGovern say the experience of competing at the London Olympics makes them determined to return to the Olympic stage in Rio in 2016.

Seaton and McGovern finished 14th in the 49er class in London and they are competing on the World Cup circuit this season as well as aiming for upcoming outings at the World and European Championships.

"We took a lot of learning points from London and it has made us determined to put that to good use as we build up towards Rio," McGovern told BBC Sport Northern Ireland.

McGovern hails from Bangor while Seaton is from Carrickfergus.
