Romania with an insane push in the last 400 m to win the 1/2 after being 4th for almost all race in the W doubles  

Lady luck has smiled upon us today. M2x barely made it to the final while M4- beat France with 0.7 s to catch the last qualifying spot to their final. Usually we were the losers in this kind of situations, but lately things have changed.

 

Regarding W doubles, Radis and Bodnar looked vulnerable today; my guess is they tried to make a tactical race and row at a slower pace than usual, as they're doubling up in the eights and need to avoid exhaustion. I also think our girls underestimated their opponents a little bit. Radis said they made some errors during today's race which won't happen again in the final.

Only one  boat in finals, and it is the one that nobody saw coming (at least by our "sport journalists"). 

 

Rowing is clearly a big disappointment in these Olympics for us!
