Superb from the Romanian men in the double sculls

Interesting that both Romanian double sculls use a very high (comparatively) stroke rate.

Fantastic by the woman!

Men, not so much ... still, made the final so fair play.

C'mon the fours now!!!

Huge difference at that crucial 300-400m stage

Womens Double Skulls - Gold over Romania by a whisker

[MajorPom]

Wow, they just said half the podium for the Woman's rowing are mothers!

Thats quite impressive.

[Bovidae]

Both Kiwi women have a young child.

Both ladies won Silver in Tokyo (separately) now both Olympic Gold Medalists together.

Womens 4 off pace early but now up to third.

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.

[Rapido]

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.
