Phase Reports

On winning women's eight silver
Heidi Long (GBR)

On winning silver:
“I don’t know exactly what happened in the race, but it feels it was a similar pattern to what happened in the heat. We were a bit slow off the start, but then built our rhythm and then found a real solid pace in the middle of the race. We didn’t have quite enough gears to hold the Romanians off in that brutal race into a brutal head win.

“We gave it our best and think we stepped on from our heat. Not quite enough but the Romanians had a great race.”

On racing in the eight as well as smaller boats:
"It was great to come together as a bigger group of us. We've been training together hard as a team so to race together was really fun.

"The culture of the squad has driven us to be able to produce a good eight, not necessarily the other way around. The fact everyone pushes each other one, wants the best for each other, not just themselves, is what allows us to come together like this."

Rebecca Edwards (GBR)

On leading before Romania rowed through:
"I'm not going to lie, we're competitors and we wanted to win so then it stinks a little bit. But I think we have to be proud of what we've put out there."

On winning gold
Ioana Vrinceanu (ROU)

On the race:
"It was a good race for us. We are very happy for this. It was strong."

On their last 500m:
"We very much hope for that. The last 500 is from all our team."

Simona Radis (ROU)

On racing in both the women's double sculls and women's eight:
"It's the first time I doubled (up). I won gold yesterday and today another gold so that's great for me."
On winning bronze
"Everything that was left in our legs, we just put it out in the water."
