Well done Poland. Poor Germany, horrible. China was probably the most assured gold of the regatta.

The Sinkovec brothers aren't as good as they were anymore or what?

I think Germany (and probably Ireland) would have been good enough to fight for a medal in double sculls?

Man, this was frustrating.

Yes, only 4 medal chances and then they throw away a safe silver. German rowing has been declining for a long time now, 6 medals should be the absolute minimum for the importance of rowing, the funding they receive and the population size. There is no excuse for Germany to win less medals than Australia or the Netherlands.
