M1X final A result at OG Rio de Janeiro

1. NZL  6:41,34

2. CRO  6:41,34

3. CZE  6:44,10

The first two single scullers Drysdale (NZL)

and Martin (CRO) rowed a new Olympic

record time - less than two centimeters

seperated their bow balls on the finish line.

It was the closest result ever in an Olympic

M1X final thus matching the W1X final at

the Sydney Olympic Games 2000 when

BLR beat BUL by a similar tiny margin.
