Australian rowers, empty-handed in Seoul,
won the double sculls ahead of the Austrians
and the Dutch, and the coxless fours. Dimitrie
Popescu of Romania, who won silver with the
Romanian coxed fours in Seoul behind the
GDR crew, swapped his medal colour against
the Germans this time round. In the big event,
the men’s coxed eight, won by the FRG in
1988, the Canadians forced the Romanians
into silver position by 0.14 seconds, the Germans
settling for bronze.
