GB's Katherine Grainger & Anna Watkins broke the Olympic record by nearly 5 seconds to book a place in the double sculls final.

Watkins & 3 time Olympic silver medallist Grainger, unbeaten since they teamed up in 2010, won their heat in 6 minutes 44.33 seconds.
Elsewhere, The British men's four won their heat to reach Thursday's semi-finals & GB men's eight held off a fast-finishing Canada to win the repechage which ensured they qualified for Wednesday's final.

Britain's women's quad - Melanie Wilson, Debbie Flood, Frances Houghton and Beth Rodford - produced a brilliant fightback in the repechage to qualify for the final in third place.
