The fastest row men’s lightweight double sculls is 6 minutes 5.33 seconds achieved by Fintan McCarthy and Paul O’Donovan (both Ireland) at the 2020 Olympic Games Regatta in Tokyo, Japan, on 28 July 2021.
This was one of six world-best times set on the same day at Sea Forest Waterway. McCarthy and O’Donovan set their record time in the semi-final of the men’s lightweight double sculls and went on to take gold in the final. World Rowing acknowledges "world best" times rather than world records, owing to fluctuating environmental factors involved in outdoor rowing. All times cover 2,000 m races.
