It was much cooler today! A colder morning was expected compared to the rest of the week at the Nautical Stadium of Vaires-sur-Marne. However, with the stands packed and the rowing fans’ excitement palpable, the atmosphere was electric. The water activities started early. Despite regattas beginning at 9 with 'F', 'E', and 'D' finals, the main events started at 11:30, with a highly anticipated medal distribution.

The men's double sculls race was highly anticipated due to the Sinkovic brothers, and they did not disappoint. They did it again. What a race from the legendary Sinkovic brothers, now officially Croatia’s most decorated summer Olympians.

An incredible victory on the water for Martin and Valent Sinkovic in the pairs rowing event. The brothers are now consecutive Olympic champions in this discipline. Great Britain continued their strong performance, securing a decent silver. The bronze went to Switzerland.

It was then the women’s turn. Ymkje Clevering and Veronique Meester from the Netherlands did not disappoint either. Gold for the favorite pair, overcoming Romania’s Ioana Vrinceanu and Roxana Anghel (a pleasant surprise), while Australia took bronze thanks to Jess Morrison and Annabelle McIntyre.

The last two events were lightweight men's doubles. The Irish combination achieved a legendary victory in the lightweight men's double sculls. The battle for second place between Greece and Italy was marked by only a 0.11-second difference between the two crews.

The final highlight of the day came from the trending duo in women’s rowing, Emily Craig and Imogen Grant. The British pair rowed relentlessly, breaking away from the intense battle behind their boat. Romania and Greece surprised with two medals after a spectacular morning for the Mediterranean country.

Tomorrow will continue with the last rowing finals. A grand day featuring single sculls for men and women and eights, also in both categories.
