Sean Lawton, wearing the Munster singlet, got a good start and settled in well and held his position throughout the race and with 200m remaining put in a late surge and gained an extra two positions to finish in a super 13th place overall, just missing out on a top 12 finishers individual medal. Sean won two team medals, silver representing Munster and bronze representing Cork. Fionn who was wearing the Cork singlet finished in 99th position out of a field of 164 finishers.
