Easy in the end. On the board now and watch us go.

 

[straw man]

Gutted we missed the silver by that margin. A medal's a medal though.

 

[Spark]

Immense effort in the last 200m by Hornsey/Tait to pull a silver out of that one. Grats to Team GB, never looked like losing it.

Never has"'that's a paddlin'" been so appropriate.

They were good, almost as impressive as the NZ pair looked in their semi, almost but not quite.

 

[Burgey]

Well done to the Pommie girls. Solid commonwealth trifecta that. Massive pressure release for the home team.

I have high hopes for mighty Mahe in the singles final after his solid win in the semi earlier. He deserves it after that day in Beijing.

 

[Burgey]

No coincidence the Poms and Kiwis do well sitting down going backwards

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Ze Germans are coming!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ukraine were good then. Wow.

Wiggins to hopefully follow it up later and then we on a roll.

Great effort for the Aussies in the Female 8, considering that they only all teamed up as a ramshackle mob a month or two before the Games.

 

[_Ed_]

Oops, the announcer got the NZ pair the wrong way around at the medal ceremony.

 

[MW1304]

Why are there no podiums? Bet its a health and safety issue or something.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That anthem was lovely, just for Burgey.

God save your Queen.

 

[MW1304]

This is an incredible effort. We aren't going to do it but a brilliant effort.

Hold onto silver!

 

[MW1304]

Bronze... great effort for the first 1500 metres though.

 

[Burgey]

In keeping with sporting tradition, Germany edges England in a close run event.

must feel wierd to be that jockey in the back telling the boys to row harder. they win and theyre all ****ed and he wants to high five em.
