That would imply Australia will actually win another gold.

Tomorrows mens 4 is theirs isn't it?

Must be a while since NZ were above Australia in table this many days into the games though.

Yeah, with the swimming medals usually coming in thick and fast.

Right. Come on, Mahe. You can do it.

Let's enjoy this while it lasts.

All this gold's weighin me down!!

Go Mahe! Come on!

Oh, you ****ing legend. Five-time world champion; Olympic champion.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Yeaaaaaah!

**** me that was scary when he almost lost his stroke with 100m to go.

Brilliant

What a race, a New Zealand journalist on radio said coming in they had their best rowing team ever, they have backed it up with the medals.

Nice one Campbell on the medal for GB.

MAHE!!!

Feel gutted for Synek, great guy, and it must hurt to get silver twice in a row.

 

[Flem274*]

woohoo NZ!

 

[straw man]

Mahe Seems like such a good guy too

 

[Meridio]

Mahe!!

Stoked with that. So well deserved.

Outstanding performance by NZ in the rowing. Three gold, one bronze.

NZ 10th on the medal table, atm.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well done Heather Stanning and Helen Glover & Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger. Ms Grainger gets her gold at the the 4th attempt.

& hats off to NZ. Bond & Murray must be pretty much the perfect pairing. Awesome.

Love that our bronze medallists are callled Satch & Nash too. A gift to rhyming slang enthusiasts.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So the Aussie rower keeping with his countries tradition and being sent away after causing criminal damage. Disgraceful.

How likely are we for more rowing medals tonight, rowing geeks?

 

[uvelocity]

Uru & Taylor are expected to be right in the medals in the men's lightweight double - they're close second favourites on the TAB (like Cohen and Sullivan were...)

Twigg fourth favourite in the women's single. Hope she can sneak a bronze.

Is this rowing course built and owned by Eton school?

Drew Ginn in this final.

Won a gold at Barcelona in 92 or Atlanta 96 with the Oarsome Foursome. Should be a good race.
