Irish rower Mark O'Donovan impressively weight-lifts and dances at the same time

AN IRISH rower hoping to reach the 2016 Olympics in Rio has become an internet hit with his impressive skills that combine weightlifting with Irish dancing.

An Instagram video has captured Cork man Mark O'Donovan - who narrowly missed out on qualification for the A final in the world senior rowing championships in France last month - in action, as he showcases an unusual new method of training.

Whilst Mark may be attempting to step up his training regime with this light-footed display of strength, it probably shouldn't be tried at home.
