Such an awesome lake to row on. Conditions could get challenging at times but was stunning all the same.

A great 8 by Team GB. What an amazing record-breaking Olympics this was for Britain. 2nd in the medal table, I already loved Brasil and this has given me even more reasons to love Brasil. I thought they were wonderful hosts and such lovely warm and friendly people.

Respect New Zealand with wooden grips.

I've met Phelan Hill. He said they could have won by more, but they were just keeping it controlled in the last 250 with the thought "let's not mess this up"

Well done Team GB. So relieved they held off the challenge from Team Germany and Team Netherlands.
Team USA, Team NZL and Team Poland were nowhere in sight.

They weren't wrong when they said the NZ 8 were prospects for the 2020 Olympics 👏👏

I just started Novice crew and I’m just here to look at the techniques they use. Pretty interesting.

I just realized UK got a weird layout on their boat... number 4 and 5 both have their oars at the starboard

Congrats to Great Britain THEY DESERVED IT

This is my dream, let's hope by the time I am in the Olympics the USA can win it at home during LA 2028.

I imagined them rowing with full beards and with norse tattoos all over yelling "ROW" very angry 😂
Full respect for this sport

[oandrepais]

A vista do Estádio da Lagoa é a melhor!

#This is very cool Im signing up for rowing'

[thelonesculler]

Fun fact: I've spoken with Phelan Hill and he said they could have won by more, but they didn't crank it that much in the last 500 because they didn't want to mess it up
