• I've done a medals table and Worlds results summary (without times) for today's Worlds racing. Six new record times were set, including the top four crews in the M4- smashing both the Norwegian record and the Danish LM4- record which has been inside it for three years, plus Cracknell and Pinsent taking four seconds off the time set by Pinsent with Redgrave in 1994. Roumiana Neykova chopped a similar chunk off the women's singles, and both the women's double and pair times went too. Marcel Hacker toppled Rob Waddell's men's singles record by 0.35 seconds.
