Intro:

Great Britain picked up three more medals on the last day of the Olympic regatta to confirm their position as the top rowing nation at London 2012.

Script:

Great Britain confirmed its status as world rowing's dominant force by picking up three more medals on the final day of the Olympic regatta at Eton Dorney.

The home nation already had six medals to show for their efforts but added another two golds and a silver to take their overall medals tally to nine, including four golds.

Dominant displays by the men's coxless four and the lightweight women's double sculls sparked more scenes of jubilation at Eton Dorney as Team GB recorded their best medals tally for an Olympic regatta for four years.

Alex Gregory, Pete Reed, Tom James and Andrew Triggs Hodge went out hard from the start in the men's coxless four and were never passed, beating main rival Australia into second place as Great Britain won the discipline for a fourth consecutive Games.

SOUNDBITE (English) Andrew Triggs Hodge, Olympic gold medallist in men's coxless four:
(Comparing success in last two Olympics). "Beijing, obviously my first gold medal - such an amazing feeling to finally be able to do it and to become an Olympic champion. To do it at your home event it's something else completely, and just... again, so proud. And that's probably the most humbling part, we do have a nation standing behind us."

Saturday was also a good day for Denmark as Rasmus Quist and Mads Rasmussen piped the British pair of Mark Hunter and Zac Purchase to gold in the lightweight double sculls.

SOUNDBITE (English) Rasmus Quist and Mads Rasmussen, Olympic gold medallists in lightweight double sculls:

"We knew that we had a good sprint. The sprint had been a problem for us during the World Cups, but in the training camp we learned how to handle this - and it worked out very good for us here at the Olympics, so it was the perfect day to have a good sprint."

However, the Olympic regatta belonged to Great Britain as they continued their domination of rowing at the Games.
