Tom Laurich had a slow first 1000m and although he finished the race off well, he was unable to catch the medallists. The start was too much of a deficit to remedy.

The Australians had a slow start and rowed back into the race gradually throughout the race. However the slow start gave too much to the gold medal winning Romanians and so settled for silver.

Men's Eight
The Australian crew raced very well. However the Germans put in a devastating second 500m to take a 3 second lead which was expanded in the third 500m but clawed back by the Australians in the final stages of the race. The battle for silver against the Americans was worthy with the Americans putting a blistering last 500m to come within 7/100 of second of the Australians.
