GER, 1999 World Champions, are projected to win the gold medal . ROM 's comparative
splits from the heats indicate an ability to come from behind LTU (4tha at Worlds) and NED
(3rd at Worlds) in the last 500 to take the silver medal. ROM has the most experienced
scullers in this race, and did not race this event last year at Worlds. The USA's new
combination will be close enough to mount a challenge to LTU and NED in the last 500, if
either of them should wilt.LANE CREW RELATIVE POSITIONS ELAPSED SPLIT
