I’d been looking forward to this Olympic Games highlights experience all day but wasn’t expecting this.

First of all, one of our rowers fell into the lake by the Lewisham Way war memorial and swam – slowly – back towards the boat where his fellow competitor waited. As he climbed back into the boat he was completely coated in mud. I had forgotten that this is what happened to the Great British rowers in the heats – and yet they progressed to win the gold medal.
