Great Britain's Helen Glover and the women's four had to settle for silver in a thrilling final at the Paris Olympics.
For a moment, it looked like Glover's dream of a third Olympic gold medal would come true, but the Dutch edged them out on the line to win by 0.18 seconds. She came an agonising fourth in the women's pair and once again stepped back from the sport, only to be tempted back to compete in France. The British crew started steadily and were second to defending champions Romania at halfway, but the Dutch boat powered into the lead and had the strength to hold on with the final stroke.
