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.

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

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

flibbertyjibber · 01-08-2012, 05:28 AM

That anthem was lovely, just for Burgey.

God save your Queen.

MW1304 · 01-08-2012, 05:35 AM

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

Hold onto silver!

MW1304 · 01-08-2012, 05:36 AM

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

Burgey · 01-08-2012, 05:36 AM

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

uvelocity · 01-08-2012, 05:38 AM

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.

Burgey · 01-08-2012, 05:39 AM

Have to say, rowing is a quality event to watch. And the better cameras now keep the places of the boats in perspective all race long.

flibbertyjibber · 01-08-2012, 05:40 AM

Great race, well done Germany. Medal is good, better than Australia though Burgey.

Absolutely, it's an awesome TV sport. Might be a bit **** to watch live, though - you wouldn't see much at all for most of the event.
