Olympic silver medalists, unstoppable comedy duo.
Ireland's first medal at Rio 2016 was claimed by two brothers who have well and truly won the hearts of the nation on their route to the podium... Where they got to put on their podium pants and all.
There's not much left to say about them, but when we thought we had seen the best they had to offer, they cracked us up once again with a live feed to the RTE studio, where they laughed at Neville Maxwell for crying at the race's conclusion, and left Darragh Maloney in sticthes.
Podium pants and pizzas out in Rio but the O’Donovan brothers are missing a 'national holiday' back in Skibb! https://t.co/zkeny9a7my

Outstanding.
They are a national treasure. We can only hope they get their own documentary or something upon their return to Ireland, but for the moment we'll just hope they enjoy the celebrations, as we are sure they will.
