Bronze!. Close run thing at the end.

Neck and neck. NZ just held them off in the last 50m

MajorPom

Wow, so happy with that. Stroke rate at 250 to go, romania were 46, we were 41! Must have been some serious power at the end.

Brilliant!

Someone should have told them to take their sunglasses of their heads for the medal ceremony. Those photos won't be keepers.

Been several thrilling rowing races in a row.

Bovidae

A good half an hour for the Spoors sisters.

I'm calling suss on the Chinese guy who won the 100m free too. In a slow pool he smokes everyone and sets a new WR? yeah, absolutely nothing to see here.

That's a very big call. Not one I would have made publicly.

Of course he'd say that. How are the rest of their swimmers? If they were dominating perhaps one could point to a systemic issue.

I bet if an Aussie or Yank swam that fast they'd be singing a different tune.

Men's Four sitting in second at the halfway mark

Damo

Mens 4 comfortably in second but seem to be slightly falling back off the Yanks.

We are looking good. USA had a huge second 500

Come on lads!

Love the British commentator saying NZ were gone and USA were out of sight. Dick

Kiwis making a move!

Higgins

Another close run thing, this time a silver for the Mens Four

USA with a 2nd gear

Médaille d’argent!

ACT Crusader

Awesome to get the silver

antipodean

Wow. That last 250m from the Americans. I would've sworn with 500m to go they were going to be overtaken.
