The British rowers are into the semi-finals of the women's coxless pair, with the final scheduled for Friday.

"Get the champagne ready for this one because, barring injury or food poisoning, Britain’s Helen Glover and Heather Stanning are nailed on to strike gold," former Olympic rower and presenter James Cracknell told Radio Times.

Women's coxless pair semi-finals

Glover and Stanning race in the first semi-final, which was scheduled to run at 12.30pm on Wednesday 10th August. However, weather conditions in Rio mean that the day's competition has been postponed. A new schedule is set to be announced soon.

Sadly the wind has got the better of the Lagoa. No racing today. New schedule will be posted at 14.00 BST.

The second semi-final was also meant to take place on Wednesday. In each race, the top three finishers qualify for the final, with the last three going into the 'B' final.
