    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

    That's bloody brilliant hearing the anthem and seeing the flag flying highest.

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