Olympics provide training motivation for Banbridge rower Philip Doyle

Philip Doyle explains how the hope of performing at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021 has helped maintain his motivation for training.

The Banbridge rower is back in full-time training with the Irish rowing squad in Cork ahead of the rescheduled 2021 Games.

Doyle, who returned to the NHS to help out as a junior doctor during the first wave of the pandemic, explains how the second wave of Covid-19 has put major pressure on the NHS.

He won a silver medal with Ronan Byrne at the 2019 World Cup.
