 A wide spread of medals characterized the first day of finals at the Rio 2016 Olympic Rowing Regatta in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Of the 18 medals awarded in the six finals contested, 15 countries featured.

Covering Europe, Africa and Oceania, the medal spread included two medals for the Polish women's team. Polish women rowers took their first medals at the London 2012 Olympic Games and, in Rio today, Magdalena Fularczyk and Natalia Madaj won Poland's first Olympic gold in women's rowing. Poland also took its first-ever Olympic medal in the women's quadruple sculls. The Polish crew led the favourites, Germany, for the majority of the race but Germany prevailed at the line earning Olympic gold; improving on their London Olympic silver. This gave Germany's Anne Katrine Thiele her third Olympic medal and first gold.

The German men made it a double gold day by also winning the men's quadruple sculls. The defending Olympic Champions, with three members of their 2012 crew on board, made no mistakes leading from start to finish in this Olympic final. Australia won silver and Estonia took bronze.

Croatia's Sinkovic brothers, Martin and Valent, scored gold in the men's double sculls - the first- ever Olympic rowing gold for Croatia. The second-placed double of Lithuania's Saulius Ritter and Mindaugas Griskonis was the best-ever result in Lithuanian Olympic rowing. This boat class also earned 40-year-old Olaf Tufte of Norway his fourth Olympic medal. Tufte and partner Kjetil Borch took bronze.

Denmark has now medalled at every Olympic Games since the lightweight men's four was added to the Olympic programme in 1996. The Danes finished second to Switzerland with France in third. For Switzerland it meant their first Olympic gold in rowing since 1996.

One of the most significant finals of the day was the men's pairs featuring New Zealand's Hamish Bond and Eric Murray. The New Zealand duo earned their 69th straight victory in the pair. They have not lost a race in this boat class since coming together in 2009. Bond and Murray also won at the London Olympics making them only the third pair ever to successfully defend their Olympic title. For silver medallists, South Africa, it meant an amazing comeback for Lawrence Brittain who overcame cancer to get to these Olympic Games. Brittain raced with Shaun Keeling. Italy won bronze.

A stunning day at the Rio 2016 Olympic Rowing Regatta on the iconic Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas saw rowing's blue riband boat classes -  the men's and women's single sculls and men's and women's eights - take races to breath-taking finishes and one Olympic Best Time.

Rio de Janeiro, 13 August 2016

A capacity crowd cheered on the best rowers in the world at Olympic rowing's final day of racing. A photo finish and an Olympic Best Time determined the men’s single sculls. New Zealand's Olympic Champion Mahe Drysdale was challenged by single sculling newcomer Damir Martin of Croatia to the very last stroke. The photo finish gave Drysdale gold and an Olympic Best Time. Martin, who is a silver medallist from London in the men's quadruple sculls, was just three centimeters (one inch) away in silver position, followed by 2015 World Champion Ondrej Synek of the Czech Republic who took bronze.

Australia's Kimberly Brennan raced a bold race in the women's single sculls leading from the start and held off all competition until the finish line. Genevra Stone of the United States rowed to a silver medal and world bronze medallist Jingli Duan of China earned bronze.

United States women's eight made it three Olympic golds in a row today. The crew of Emily Regan, Kerry Simmonds, Amanda Polk, Lauren Schmetterling, Tessa Gobbo, Meghan Musnicki, Eleanor Logan, Amanda Elmore and Katelin Snyder continues the unbeaten record in this category since 2006 under the guidance of coach Tom Terhaar. The United States had to push through a fast-starting Canada to get in the lead. Great Britain took silver in the country's first-ever medal in this boat class and 2004 Olympic Champions Romania won bronze.

Finishing off the day of racing, Great Britain with Scott Durant, Tom Ransley, Andrew Triggs-Hodge, Matt Gotrel, Pete Reed, Paul Bennett, Matt Langridge, William Satch and Phelan Hill led from start to finish in the men's eight ahead of defending Olympic Champions Germany. The British last won gold in the eight in 2000. The Germans held on to silver with the Netherlands taking bronze.

Overall Great Britain topped rowing's medal table with three golds and two silvers from the 14 boat classes contested. Germany and New Zealand tied for second both winning two golds and a silver. Australia was fourth with one gold and two silvers and the Netherlands was fifth with one gold, one silver and one bronze.

Overall 21 countries won medals from the eight-day regatta that began on 6 August and went through two days of postponements due to windy weather that made the regatta course unrowable. Today was sunny with light winds to end the regatta on a high note.
