I don't know that much about rowing, how bad is :GBR doing right now? I feel like so far it's kinda catastrophic for them and also not good for :GER

For Germany (compared to expectations):

One medal less than expected (women's quadruple sculls had a safe silver and then they made a mistake and dropped to 4th or 5th)

 

The two by far biggest gold medal chances (men's single sculls and men's eight) are still to come.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

That has to go down as one of the all time great rowing race.

It was awesome indeed, too bad that it was largely decided by such a mis-hit though :( 

 

Sort of like that German boat yesterday that threw away a medal by a mistake.

:ITA  finally met a similarly unlucky nation in a fight for the gold in Tokyo, :NED, now it makes sense why the curse was lifted for them. 

So far one gold in the rowing is not bad, although it could just as easily have been four, so that leaves a bit of a taste :d Especially considering that no matter how many golds they win, that of course won't help those that just miss out.

Did someone in Gb curse the rowing gods? Five fourth places must be some sort of sad record for a games. Easy to see Paris and LA being worse through as I can see GB rowing getting a major shock when funding is reduced to well below what they thought was even the worse nightmare.
