    Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet, but what an unbelievable effort from Alan Campbell. Rowing is one brutal sport.

    I wasn't sure if that was a replay that I didn't know about or it was live. But was still cheering like mad.

    Now the girls are winning. Come on

    wow that interview with the two GB guys has cut me up a bit. nothing worse than people that give it their all but feel they have let people down.

    They certainly didnt let anyone down. Well done lads.

    Our 2 guys absolutely spent & devastated at "only" winning silver.

    Don't beat yourselves up, guys. You rowed your hearts out ! There's always Rio to work towards if you can face that challenge .If not, just look back on a fantastic 2 Olympics and hold your heads high !

    Are we the only country who can win one medal but get three iterations of our flag hoisted ?

    Probably....also Union Jack on the flags of Turks and Caicos Islands, St Helena, Montserrat, Fiji, Falklands, Cook Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands and Tuvalu.....it was also on the old flags of both South Africa and Hong Kong.......

    exceptional performance from the rowing squad - all 13 boats reached the final and 9/13 medals. Pretty stunning

    Did Steve Redgrave say its the best rowing haul since 1908?
    Looks like they have secured their funding for Rio, which can only be good news.

    Gutted for Mark Hunter. Partner beating him in all down the course. They knew it in training, why didn't coach change something?
