Turns out you don't need your finishing sprint if you sprint out of the gate.

Matthew Pinsent currently explaining that two years ago the thinking was we might not even enter the event.

Great Bronze, shame Cracknell talks about Bronze medals the same way i talk about changing nappies.

I  don't really know anything about rowing but I liked seeing the women going above 40 strokes. From a rowing idiot's POV it has been frustrating to watch British boats sticking fairly rigidly to 38/39 when other boats have been upping and seeming to out-sprint us.
