The rowing brothers aiming for another Olympic gold

When you think of sporting siblings you may think of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams, footballers Kolo and Yaya Toure or boxers Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko.

But Martin and Valent Sinkovic can also be added to that list for what they’ve achieved in rowing.
The multiple world and European champions are three-time Olympic medallists – including winning back-to-back golds first in the double sculls at Rio 2016 and then in the men's pair in Tokyo, the discipline in which they will compete in Paris.

The brothers tell Sportsworld’s Lee James about their relationship in and out of the boat, what it means to be competing at a fourth Olympic Games and how they’re aiming for a third gold in Paris.
