Rowing - Heats, Men's Single Sculls [-31 hours]

Thankfully, despite this stream being over four hours; there are bookmarks to those athletes from Gb and Ireland. I intend to start watching from the beginning but it's a guess how long before I start jumping, if I get the stream to play. Though I believe it'll be on the TV record so I might try that.

The TV coverage begins on heat 2 on the single sculls; guess they won't show heat 1 but I doubt I'll go back. The backdrop for this is amazing, much nicer than the usual rowing lakes.

After seven minutes of rowing (or 2 on a fast-forward) the defending champion looks dominant.

So this is just the best pick of the races on the main coverage channel; first Brit in a boat in lane 4, heat 4, also dominating his heat. But more excitingly there is choppy waters in the middle of the lake, a proper challenge.

And the Tv coverage switches to focus on the men's cycling race which I shall watch later.
