Lightweight Women’s Double Scull – A FINAL – 11.33am (7.33pm)

Alice McNamara (VIC) and Bronwen Watson (NSW) enter the final of the lightweight women’s double scull after two good performances in their heat and semi-final.

McNamara and Watson, who have been crowned world champion twice as part of the lightweight women’s quad scull, will aim for a medal in their first appearance in this boat class.

Great Britain, Greece and Germany hold the middle lanes for the final while Australia will row from Lane 6. Other crews to feature are Poland and Canada.

Men’s Quad Scull – A FINAL – 12.33pm (8.33pm)

Dan Noonan (NSW), David Crawshay (VIC), Jared Bidwell (QLD) and Nick Hudson (NSW) face a tough challenge in a red hot field for the men’s quad scull title.

They have improved with each race this week after finishing fourth in the heat. They turned this around with a win in their repechage and then finished second behind world and Olympic champion Poland.

Poland will enter the final as favourite to retain their title but this field is very talented with the young Croatian crew also eager to taste success.

Australia will race from Lane 2, while Germany, Italy and France are also in the final.
