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.

“Not humanly possible” said the Aussie swim coach.

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.

[ACT Crusader]

We are looking good. USA had a huge second 500

[1kiwi]

Come on lads!

[Bones]

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

[1kiwi]

Kiwis making a move!

[Higgins]

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

[ACT Crusader]

USA with a 2nd gear

[Billy Tell]

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.
