Men's Coxless Pair

Semi-Final A/B Heat 1

Top 3 crews advance to FA final, others to FB final.

Prediction

GBR, RSA and FRA should qualify for the FA final. Those 3 crews should break away from the others after the 1000 meter mark, led by FRA. That 3rd 500 is where FRA should expect a move from GBR. FRA needs to bear down and stop that move if FRA is to win this race and get the favored lane in the FA final. FRA is the defending World silver medalist and should be able to do this. However, Searle and Coode in the GBR pair are gold medalists in their own right (though not in this event) and also know what to do with a boat in the last 500 . Hard to pick this one, but odds are FRA can hold off GBR and RSA will be 3rd.
