France break Men's double sculls Olympic Best
New Zealand's Emma Twigg won the sixth and final heat of the women's single sculls, quite comfortably it must be said, to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Back to the men now and the two-person crews in double sculls.
And it's a new Olympic Best time for France's Hugo Boucheron / Matthieu Androdias in 6:10.45, breaking the old mark of 6:11.30 set by New Zealand at London 2012.
(In rowing, there are no World or Olympic Records, only best times due to the difference in water conditions from course to course.)
They are joined by China and ROC in the semi-finals.
