        About 3.5 seconds. She never looked like losing.

          It's funny that rowers obviously spend so much time with shades on that all 3 think nothing of keeping their sunglasses on top of their heads in the most photographed moment of their lives.

            Fuck it’s a hard watch. Droning commentary, slow, no graphics to give an idea of how your country is going…..
            Not a good ad for the sport.

                  Twigg looked like she was out for a practice row. Even at the end all the other competitors were lying back , chests heaving and she was just smiling and didn't seem to be breathing heavily at all.

                  Well done to her. Blitzed them!!

                                  What a row by Canada!

                                  That was awesome by our girls to row past Australia and then hold off a fast finishing China and US

                                        Just saw the Canada cox pull a phone out of her top. Is that legal?
                                        Not accusing them but surely you could have a programmed stroke beep or similar going in that?

                                        Edit: they seem to be allowed smart watches so I guess it’s all ok
