@soso151064 Have a great time up there Christian. Hope it goes well and the team have a good camp

@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.

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

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

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

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!

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

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! https://t.co/x7D5dfmLcI

@RUboatclub Great effort all, well done

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

@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.

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

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!

[Sam Townsend @samwtownsend]

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.
