Britain take final tally into double figures on Lake Shunyi
Great Britain will have a remarkable 10 crews in the 14 Olympic rowing finals after the lightweight men's double scull and lightweight men's four both progressed.
Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter became the first lightweight British crew ever to qualify for an Olympic final after dominating their double scull semi-final.
And the four - Richard Chambers, James Lindsay-Fynn, Paul Mattick and James Clarke - completed Britain's impressive finals line-up by finishing third in their semi-final.
But there was disappointment for Helen Casey and Hester Goodsell, who came fourth in the women's lightweight double sculls semi-final and dropped into the B final.
Perfect
Greece won the other semi-final in the men's lightweight double ahead of world champions Denmark and China, in perfect racing conditions on Lake Shunyi.
Denmark, traditionally strong in the lightweight events, also won the men's lightweight four semi-final ahead of France and Britain, and the three will race against Poland, Canada and the Netherlands in the final.
China, holders of only two silver and two bronze Olympic rowing medals, also qualified a further two boats to take their presence in Olympic finals to six.
The Netherlands, Finland and Germany qualified from the first lightweight women's double scull semi-final and will face Canada, China and Greece in the final on Sunday.
