This was the comeback season for Drew Ginn following back surgery that kept him out of the 2000 Games. It was also the first international outing since those Games for James Tomkins. They raced the heat and semi final to perfection and looked likely to take the gold. However the other crews had different ideas and James and Drew missed out on a medal by 0.05 seconds in a very tight race—less than half a second between silver and fourth placing. The crew failed to handle the rough conditions on the finals day.

This was the first start for Dan Stewart in this very tough event. The Australian crew started well winning their heat and keeping the eventual bronze medal winning Danes in second place. They repeated this in the semi final but were beaten into first place by the Germans. The final was disappointing for the Australians but shows the depth and toughness of these fields with the Danes picking up bronze and the Germans missing out of a medal.
