'It was very overwhelming'
Team GB women's quadruple sculls gold medallists were on BBC Radio 5 Live talking about their dramatic victory.
Lola Anderson said: "I think Lauren Henry, our Bow girl knew first, she was confident from about 600 metres out that we were going to come through.
"Lauren said that she saw on the board GBR and one on the board and she started screaming, it didn't sound like sad screaming."
Lauren Henry said: "I think quite a lot of the cameras caught me crying my eyes out.
"I was lucky to have my team-mates around me to hold me together a bit and also help me celebrate and take in the moment.
"We're not used to this type of media coverage following us around. For me personally, that was very overwhelming, even more so getting our phones back and seeing a huge outreach."

Brit pleased with performance
Joe Fraser of Team GB spoke about his fifth place finish in the gymnastics in such a strong field:
I'm over the moon. I was reminded earlier about the Europeans only three months ago so to finish fifth in an Olympic Games, I couldn't be prouder. It was all about having fun and I definitely left it all out there. The shoulder's been playing up for 18 months and we're still managing to pull out a 14 on rings. On the high bar, I just tried to soak up the crowd and give a show.
