Tomorrow sees the start of the medals races with the Finals of the Men's and Women's Quadruple Sculls and the Women's Pair.
The Men qualified for their Final through the repechages and are only 4th fastest of the 6 crews.
The Women do not have an entry in the Quadruple Sculls, but have a serious Gold Medal chance in the Pair where defending champions Heather Stanning and Helen Glover are unbeaten in the last 5 years. Despite a very ordinary day (by their standards) in the heats, they still had the fastest time of the day and row in the Semi-finals tomorrow lunchtime. The Final is scheduled for 4.30pm.
