Time for the 4's. On heat times, GB start favourites in Women's and NZ in the Men's (GB for bronze potentially).

Crazy that Spoors and Francis each had a baby between Tokyo and these games, and they just said that they didn't win a single race in between times until their heat this week.

What is the point of B Finals in the Rowing? You weren't very good, so have a race against other not very good teams. If you come last in this, maybe consider a new sport?
Similar the plate round in the rugby 7s.

Yet other sports you get like a minute or less in qualification and your whole Olympics could be over.

Stunning finish, that.

Stoked with NZ sneaking bronze after an equally tight battle with Romania. Fair bit behind the gold and silver, though.

Guess it's fair after we pipped the Dutch yesterday
Yeah, just felt like they didn't play to their strength. If you're more about all round stamina than sprint finish, why not go out harder?

But yeah, after stealing one off the Dutch yesterday, can't really complain.

It’s odd that some sports persist with this and others don’t. It’s a bit like the 3rd place play off at the football WC. I sort of see it as a carry over from some sort of golden age of amateur sport where a consolation prize mattered.
