 an utter embarrassment, only the men’s Four have anything like a real medal chance. 

Vicky Thornley certainly has a medal chance. but it seems clear something has gone very, very wrong in the prep. Seems Grobblar's departure has led to disaster, which given how long he was there, and how long there was to secure institutional memory of him knowledge and skills is pretty unforgivable. Expect an inquest post Tokyo.

Very exciting finish to that first repechage of the men's lightweight double and great to see making a semi-final

[Makedonas 2,155]

Great race by Christina and Maria to finish first out of four and advance to the semifinals. Now the pressure is off and they have nothing to lose. I had a feeling after the heats that there was no way China would survive the repechage.

James Cracknell hinted they had messed up the altitude training.
