Irish Olympic rower Paul ODonovan has done it again.
The athlete went viral at the Rio Olympics in 2016 for the hilarious interviews he gave with his brother and teammate Gary during their silver medal-winning campaign in the lightweight double sculls.
Paul won gold in the same event with Fintan McCarthy in Tokyo on Thursday and went viral once more with a hilariously muted response to a question about the victory, Irelands first gold in the sport.
Gold medal-winning athletes. How does that sound? the rowers were asked on the BBC.
Its alright, yeah, yeah, yeah. You cant complain about it really, responded ODonovan. I wouldnt go around introducing myself like that though.
