Great day for Team GB rowers

Report by Mark Morris

Saturday was a great day for Team GB's rowers after two British teams won gold medals at Eton Dorney.

GB won the men's four and the lightweight women's double sculls in sensational style.

Andrew Triggs Hodge, Pete Reed, Tom James and Alex Gregory beat arch-rivals Australia to win Britain's fourth consecutive Olympic title in the coxless fours.

In the very next race, Sophie Hosking and Katherine Copeland, who only came together this year, won Britain's fourth rowing gold medal of the Olympic Games.

Britain also clamed silver in the men's lightweight double sculls. Mads Rasmussen and Rasmus Quist of Denmark won gold.
