And a third medal to wrap it up for NZ. Olivia Loe and Brooke Donoghue take silver in the double scull, behind Lithuania. Strong display through 2nd 1000. That gives NZ a total of 3 medals at worlds, their poorest return since 2003. Tough thinking ahead.

A second medal for NZ, with Chris Harris and John Storey taking bronze in the double scull, behind France and Switzerland. Thrilling late charge to get third in last 250m.

Three has become two chances for medals for NZ. Robbie Manson 5th in single sculls final, same placing as last year. Never in it. Had been fancied after winning the two world cup regattas. 6:46.110, well back on winner Kjetil Borch of Norway, 6:38.310.
