    Superb from the Romanian men in the double sculls

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

    Huge difference at that crucial 300-400m stage

    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.

    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.
