Great Britain trying to outdo China in unfair play? Looks like a genuine mechanical problem to me... but whatever speculate all you like. We don't even know if they are allowed to join in the restart yet... | ||

I know I sound bias because I'm British however if there is a rule you can restart if you have a mechanical failure in the first 100m how would that be fair to those 2 rowers who have spent 4 years training for this moment? If this had happened to any of the countries I would be saying the same thing... | ||
