In Saturday's final, the team was second at the half-way mark and finished third behind the Polish and Italian doubles to claim bronze. The pair was prepared by Dr Zoltán Alföldi, a lecturer at Széchenyi University and head coach of the rowing department of the Győr Athletics Club.
They were joined by the Szentpáli brothers, Gergő and Balázs (Ferencvárosi Rowing Club, Eötvös Loránd University), who won the bronze medal for Hungary in coxless pairs.
