Twigg's lead after 1500m is 2.73 seconds. Will it be enough?

[Virgil]

great row there!

Started strong and just kept inching ahead!

But man, that looks like hard work!

[Rapido]

Awesome. Delighted for her. After 2 4ths, would have hated an Ostapcuk sort of moment. So good.

[Bovidae]

An Olympic best time from Twigg.

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.

@crucial give them golf carts, speed it up too!

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.

Women’s eights about to go.

[Machpants]

It's wierd seeing men in the women's teams

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!!

Where’s lay down Sally when you need her?

[Machpants]
