@ClareBentata Thanks very much Clare, that’s really kind of you. It was great to go back and see the school. So much is still the same as when I was there! Lovely to see some familiar faces too.

Incredibly proud of @VickyThornleyGB in her single. Raced in the team with her for a number of years and she is an incredibly tough competitor and has one of the best work ethics I have ever seen. Amazing achievement to be 4th in that field of athletes.

Congratulations to @PaulStannardRow and boys in the quad. Long time coming that one - chuffed for you guys. Top racing from the double too - left it all out there and can be very proud of that. Well done all GB crews overnight, Olympics can be brutal, all deserve massive credit

Top work by the @BritishRowing sculling boys overnight under big pressure conditions. Great to wake up and see them all safely through. Rest up for Wednesday - we will be shouting for you!

I will be running a marathon next Sunday with @HarryLyons in aid of @YoungMindsUK. All @RadleyBC boys and coaches are raising money doing various personal challenges over 19th-21st. If anyone is feeling generous any donation would be gratefully received! justgiving.com/fundraising/rc…

@RowingVoice @Graeme_Thomas No trouble, and glad rowing is getting a bit of coverage! Have a good week, and fingers crosssd for the GB boats.

@samwtownsend Yes - my mistake (and so sorry @Graeme_Thomas!) - but I’m very surprised the sub editor didn’t fix it esp as they have the team list.
I’ll get the online piece corrected at least.
Don’t blame my addled OAP brain while on deadline for mixing up two nice guys & great scullers!

To my astonishment y’day pm the Teleg sports desk rang saying they’d had a change of heart & want a piece every day this week. Pls share, retweet, comment - even better if it’s direct from the online piece & not via my Twitter feed. Do criticise - no need to be kind, just react.

The very best of luck to the @BritishRowing team taking on the @WorldRowing Champs this week, and looking to qualify as many boats as possible for Tokyo. Can be a stressful regatta but the team will be ready!

Well done to all crews who raced today, and in particular the two quads taking out gold. Really is amazing to see GB sculling go from strength to strength. Good luck to all racing tomorrow.
