Olympics rowing: Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins win gold

Great Britain's Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins powered to a sensational double sculls gold at Eton Dorney.

The British pair put in a powerful middle 1000m to overpower the Australian pair who settled for silver, with Poland taking bronze.

Grainger has won three successive Olympic silver medals and famously broke down after finishing second in Beijing, saying she was always destined to "be the bridesmaid."
