On day one from Paris, Erika Fairweather just misses out on a podium spot and our rowers are off to a strong start. Video / Cheree Kinnear

Fantastic day for our rowers. Only our single scullers were main medal hopes in rowing but hopefully our other boats can secure an upset. Sad that Erika just missed out on the medals but it’s unfortunate she competes in such a mad competitive event. Go back 5 years and she could easily win the gold. Good start to our equestrian team too

Every country should have pulled their contestants and every athlete should have willingly walked out after that abomination of an opening. Even companies have pulled their Olympic funding.
