Rowing is great to watch. Should get to bed but really enjoying these races.

<p>Halfway thru and they're away and gone, smashing it.</p>

<p>Bond and Murray well ahead.</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>5 seconds clear with 500m to go</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Fark these guys are shit hot.

<p>Gold!</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>Gold by 3s over the Saffers, Italy third.  :good1:</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>They won in 6:59, walk in the park considering their world record is 6:03 </p>

[Unco]

<p>Worth staying up for. Those two are brilliant.</p>

<p>6:08 but not really comparable because London had much more favourable conditions.</p>

[canefan]

Yessss. Slow start but Hamish Bond and the White Jules Winfield win another gold and it's not close

[Billy Tell]

Well that was satisfying. A balm on the 7s wound.

[Bovidae]

<p>Ditto.  I don't know if I will get to sleep now.  :)</p>

<p>Hopefully this is the first of many medals from the rowers.</p>

Congratulations to Bond and Murray on another Olympic Gold Medal. Unbeaten since 2009. Ruthless Kiwi champions.

[Mofitzy]

<p>So from this list we have got 1/2 predicted golds so far, 1/1 predicted silvers and 1 unexpected silver, and 0/1 bronze.</p>
