    That race was harder than it looked - they really had to battle to get past Germany, it was far from an easy win.

    George has a very inner ear problem where he can only hear voices at the exact frequency of George Hamiltons voice

    Well done to the lads!

    As someone who gets a Vietnam War esque flashbacks when I see a concept 2 rower in the gym. I'll never know how they do it.

    That was some race for the lightweight women's doubles sculls : almost a four way photo finish, with the other two crews close behind

    Bit incongruous to just see the trucks just motoring away on the bridge behind the whole time.

    Puspure had a terrible start, doesn't seem to be recovering it too well past half distance.
