Margaret Cremen more commonly known as 'Mags', and Aoife Casey were only 21 and 22 when they qualified for the Games in Tokyo. They ended up not making the 'A' final but were eventually second in the 'B' final.

The pair then won their first senior medal, securing bronze at the World Championships in 2022 but at underage level the pair won European Junior silver in 2017 and repeated the result at under-23 level in 2021.

Cremen finished second in the European Championships in April, competing without her partner in the lightweight single sculls. The pair reunited and went on to finish fifth in the World Cup II in May.

They secured their place at their second Olympics by winning the 'B' final at the World Rowing Championships in Belgrade in 2023 after narrowly missing out on the 'A' final.
