        It was the live video so I don't think you'll find it after the event, which is a shame.

            Fantastic. How anyone can row a boat at that speed at all, never mind doing it continuously for 7 minutes, is beyond me. They're all superhuman.

            You do not have to be resident in the UK to be BRITISH and compete as British
            so it is not the UK Population, but the number of elegible BRITISH PEOPLE in the WORLD

            Hmmph :-)

                I realised that's probably what you meant shortly after I posted, but then I thought all that does is makes it even more exceptional to be in team GB as the percentage I quoted would be even smaller.

                  Or to put it another way
                  ONE of Ten Thousand, from a possible 7.3 Billion people

                  She did good
