    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

    May not be gold, but silver is beautiful, too.

    That's amazing, I don't remember hearing about a NZ 8s crew winning anything since 1972

    Watching the eights up close is an amazing sight. They're quick.

    We're in lane 2. I think Germany (lane 3) or the Netherlands (lane 4) are favourites, but don't know about the rest.

    There’s a big tactical element in play seemingly. Twigg and her coach out thought the ROC (alleged) cheat by putting a much bigger first quarter gap on her than she expected then held that gap until she had no gas.
    Canada did similar against everyone in the eight. Put your big effort in early then grind it out.
