Four years on from a pair of brothers from Skibbereen in west Cork winning an Olympic silver medal, the tiny village in the Rebel County now has a golden one to show off.
Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy stormed across the line for Olympic gold in Tokyo in the lightweight double sculls overnight.
The lads have made history by achieving Ireland's first ever rowing gold and family and friends across the country stayed up to the early hours to watch them do it.
The feat also keeps the medals flowing for their native Skibb after Emily Hegarty claimed Bronze on Wednesday.
And Corkbeo were live at the 'Olympian Factory' - aka the local rowing club - to watch it all unfold.
A small group of members sat in a huge outdoor tent to watch it all unfold.
The scene was a far cry from 2016 when Gary and Paul won silver, but it was a huge occasion all the same and emotions ran high.
CorkBeo joined the group in those early hours, and speaking afterwards Club President Nuala Lupton, who's been with Skibbereen for 50 years, hailed the "gentlemen" for their amazing dedication.
"The expectations were huge but we were all holding our breaths because you never know.
"If they got hurt, if they got covid, anything, you'd have never known until it was over.
"The lads are gentlemen, I honestly think I've seen the most amazing people come through the club in my time.
"They've flourished so much, they're so confident and respectful."
But our big question for Nuala was, how do you top this?
"We've never gotten too big for our boots in all these years, and we've had a lot of success - although nothing like an Olympic gold, but I don't think the lads are going to get ahead of themselves either - they're so calm.
"It's great for rowing, and it's great to see the interest that's come on in the last five years since Rio too.
"Success breaths success, and when people in this club saw others achieving they knew they could do it."
Secretary TJ Ryan also spoke of his delight and spoke of even more hopes going forward as the current crop are inspiring the next generation of keen athletes.
He said: "Totally ecstatic, I've been at this club over 30 years and I never thought we'd see the day when we'd have Gold, Silver, and Bronze. It's amazing.
"I've watching Finn grow into the club and they're all building off eachother and thriving off eachother.
"A rising tide lifts all the boats, and everyone's always looking to push to the next level."
He then laughs "but where do we go from here"
"There's a great bunch of kids around the club and hopefully they see this as their future. The conveyor belt is still going."
Fintan's parents Sue and Tom watched the race with his siblings at home.
Sue told RTE: "He's been amazing. We've been leaving the WhatsApping to him so he calls when he's ready, and he's been amazingly calm about it all.
"I don't know how they do it."
"It's been a rollercoaster. It's been full of highs and lows and ups and downs and moments of elation.
"Lots of early mornings, lots of eating, but he's always wanted that Olympic dream and they've worked hard to get there."
Tom added: "They deserve every single iota of this. They really worked so hard."
