Phillip Doyle and Ronan Byrne face a repachage
Sanita Puspure says there's still room for improvement after booking her place in the quarter-finals of the women's single sculls rowing at the Olympics.
The World and European champion finished eight seconds ahead of her nearest rival in winning her heat in Tokyo this morning.
Puspure rated her performance as "okay" and insists she can go faster next week in her bid to win a medal.
Phillip Doyle and Ronan Byrne face a repachage tomorrow after disappointing in finishing fourth in their heat in the men's double sculls.
Sunita Puspure gets Ireland off to flying start. Great to join Peter Sherrard, CEO of Olympic Federation of Ireland to cheer her on at @Tokyo2020 regatta.
