Dorney water looking a bit mucky today isn't it?
Time to wind it up....
Howfreakingclose???? Top stuff from South Africa, Danes hanging on for dear life.
Jesus!!
The Danes must be gutted. Closest top 3 yet?
Awesome from the Saffers!
Difficult interview for the Brits.
Go girls.
😐
Men's quads are off.
Brave effort. 🙁
Hard fought bronze... 😀
Come on Grainger!!!!!!
Did one of the commentators just say, 'I slept with your stepmother' to one of the athletes?
😯
What a sublime exhibition of sculling. Well done girls. 😀
And who wouldn't have wanted that, eh? Wonderful stuff 🙂
fantastic effort by the girls. Campbell up next in the Mens singles - Come on the big Norn Iron man!
Good effort from Campbell and a Bronze. The Kiwi was outstanding in that race.
Another medal, this is getting a bit embarrassing. 😳
Give the guy a chance to recover FFS! I'm not interested in an interview with an athlete who's struggling to catch their breath. 🙄
He really gave it everything, poor guy is wrecked!
What an amazing night for the rowing last night - Eric and hamish then Mahe getting redemption from Beijing. Mahe particularly deserves respect - he was knocked off his bike 8 weeks ago and had a shoulder problem from that. He is a tough boy though. And yesterday's double was insane, they finish fast normally but jesushchrist that almost gave me aheart attack. And best of all as I sit here sipping a cuppa we are ahead of the Aussies on the medal table booyah 😀

Some quite spectacular sculling. If I wore a hat, I'd take it off.
Actually the biggest surprise last night was my wife's revelation that she had put $500 on a series of bets naming all medalists in the key races. She is an ex rower of note but it was quite a revelation, she made a decent return as well afaik.
GB v Australia plus a couple of other countries...
Gary Herbert v his larynx and blood pressure! 🙂
Nice position when you can see the next boat...
Boom the GB squad are AWEOMSE!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooolllllllllllld!!!!!!

We all guess well after, who's going to win the next races?? 😛
Awesome middle 1000 from the British 4. Aussies looking left early on, Brits eyes ahead from the start. Always a good sign.
Greeks have blown it..
What a SUPERB morning for British rowing! 🙂
Loving the reaction.
Dusty in here today....
Something had gone on the eigth stroke, no?
Ah the rowing equivalent of falling off your bike. Wife is adamant he has just fallen off his seat.
Out walking. Wha happen? I'm picking up from twitter that the "mishap" happened after the first hundred.
Seat came off the runner or jammed or he threw it so the restart could be a bit faster or he saw an alien... Opinion seems to be jammed seat.
Well, who could've predicted that?
😯
Jammed seat but as in first 100m can re-start. Now lost their Olympic crown and got silver, so gutting! They looked broken, but those Danes were quite good looking chaps!
OMG look at hunter and Purchase being interviewed it's heart breaking... feel so bad for them.

Yes, a very raw interview. Felt it a bit inappropriate given their state, although Inverdale clearly noticed that and kept it short and was clearly moved himself.
