The men's eight was so tense!

Effectively lost silver trying to get gold but I'd rather go down fighting knowing I had done everything I could for the win. :)

Considering the German team are undefeated in three years and the Canadians were defending Olympic champions, third place is a fantastic effort!

Well done men!

Were Helen Glover and Heather Stanning the same girls that were miles ahead and came first in a heat on monday or were there more than one rowing pair for GB? Reason I ask is that I didn't really recognise their faces today but I guess they must be the same girls? Brilliant job though getting gold!

Three finals coming up today:

Men's Double Sculls, Men's Lightweight Four, Women's Eight

Our best bet of a medal is in the lightweight four at 12:10.
