Rebecca Shorten is into her second Olympic final after stroking the Team GB women’s four to a comfortable heat win.
The quartet - Shorten, Esmee Booth, Samantha Redgrave and Helen Glover - pulled clear by the halfway point and eased to victory over New Zealand to move on to Thursday‘s final.
“We knew everyone was going to step up their game, it is an Olympics after all, but we were always confident we could move on and we did that,” said Shorten.
”We’ve definitely had the mindset of being favourites all the way through the season but if we worry about anyone else then we won’t perform to our best.
”It’s just about how fast we can go. I’m really looking forward to Thursday.”
Aughnacloy’s Rebecca Edwards and Chloe Brew found themselves in a very tough heat of the women’s pair. They finished fourth and will go into the repechage on Monday.
The Irish duo of Aifric Keogh and Fiona Murtagh did clinch one of the three automatic places into the semi-finals.
Making their Olympics debut, Fermanagh’s Ross Corrigan and Nathan Timoney found themselves in a real scrap in the last 500m as four boats chased three places in the semi-finals of the men’s pair.
With a final sprint the Team Ireland duo edged out New Zealand for third and so avoided the repechage.
”We knew it was tight so all you can do is keep pushing hard for the line,“ admitted Corrigan.
”It was good to release some nerves and get the first race out of the way. We can now relax a little bit for the next couple of days but we are really looking forward to the semi-final. We are we’re we want to be,” added Timoney

Aidan Walsh is out of the Paris Olympics after a defeat by France's Makan Traore in the last-32 of the men's 71kg.
Four judges favoured the French fighter, while one official scored the fight as a draw.
When the result was announced, Walsh held his opponent's arm up in the air as Traore took in the acclaim of the home support, who had been raucous throughout the bout.
Walsh, 27, was awarded a cagey first round, in which both fighters had to be reminded to engage - much to the disgust of the French support.
Traore was the aggressor in the second round, but every attempt to set upon Walsh was met with a resilient counter punch. However, all but one judge favoured the French fighter.
Walsh was caught early in the final and deciding round as the decibels rose in the North Paris Arena.
The Irish fighter was then docked a point for holding, and that gave Traore the buffer he required as he unanimously took the final round.
Walsh was the only medallist from Northern Ireland at the delayed Tokyo Games three years ago and returned to the ring for the Olympics after taking 14 months away from the sport to focus on his mental health.

McClenaghan tops pommel horse qualifier with 'outrageous' routine
Team Ireland's Rhys McClenaghan has qualified for the final of the pommel horse after a strong qualification round at the Bercy Arena.
He posted the joint-highest score of the day with 15.200, and is safely through to the final next Saturday.
The 25-year-old joins Stephen Nedoroscik of the USA as the top qualifier, ahead of reigning champion Max Whitlock, who recorded 15.166.
McClenaghan had to wait until the fifth rotation before emerging for the pommel, but put in a confident routine with a difficulty score of 6.300 and execution of 8.900.
If qualifying scores were applied to the final and he finished level with Nedoroscik, McClenaghan would take gold due to a higher execution score.
GB gymnast Whitlock won gold in Tokyo three years ago as an error in the final led to McClenaghan finishing in seventh place.
The 25-year-old bounced back to win back-to-back gold medals at the World Championship in 2022 and 2023, and will look to add an Olympic medal to his collection when he returns to the Bercy Arena on Saturday.
McClenaghan is one of three world champions from Northern Ireland to compete at the Games in Paris.

In a rematch of the final pool game in which New Zealand edged Ireland 14-12, Leroy Carter scored a try on three minutes to give the All Blacks the lead.
Ireland replied just before half-time with Chay Mullins evading the challenge of Carter and racing through on the left-hand side to touch down.
Mark Roche was accurate with the conversion to give James Topping's side the lead at the break.
However, New Zealand roared back in the second half with Brady Rush restoring their lead, darting through a gap to register their second try, although Akuila Rokolisoa missed the conversion.
Moses Leo extended their advantage by darting down inside the posts as New Zealand claimed fifth place.

Ireland rugby sevens produced a late fightback to beat USA 17-14 in a dramatic placing play-off semi-final.
They were 14-7 down with just 50 seconds to go but late tries from Zac Ward and Terry Kennedy secured the win.
James Topping's side will now play New Zealand, who beat Argentina 17-12 after extra-time at 17:30 BST today in the 5th/6th place play-off.
Ireland, who were looking to bounce back from their quarter-final defeat against Fiji, which ended their medal hopes, went ahead early through Hugo Lennox.
He raced clear after collecting a pass from Sean Cribbin and then nailed the conversion.
USA, who lost to Australia in their quarter-final, drew level on the stroke of half-time with Aaron Cummings scoring a try in the corner and Steve Tomison converting from range.
They then edged ahead as Perry Baker touched down two minutes before the end with Tomison again accurate from the tee.
Ireland kept pushing with Ward powering over to bring them within touching distance of USA, but Mark Roche missed the conversion.
They managed to recover possession from the restart and with just one second remaining Kennedy held off a challenge and crossed to seal the victory.

Ireland have lost 2-0 to Belgium in their opening game of Pool A.
The defending champions scored a goal in each half from Tom Boon and Alexander Hendrickx.
Ireland started well and were comfortable in possession but struggled to create many dangerous circle penetrations.
Irish goalkeeper Davy Harte was in world class form with a number of big saves that kept his side in the game.
“I think we started well and I think we were comfortable and settled into the game, but at the end of the day, I don't think we made enough chances,” said Irish captain Sean Murray.
”I think we need to be a little bit more direct in the next game to look at where we can try and find little areas around the circle, around the final third, and create a few more chances.
“We defended well, Davy had a fantastic game but we needed to created more chances.”
Many of the Irish players, including Murray, were making their Olympic debuts.
”It's been a long, long journey and it's always going to be a very special day with your friends and family over, maybe a few nerves, of course, it's only natural, but also just ready to compete and show what we can do on the world stage and the pinnacle of hockey.”
Ireland’s next game is against Australia on Monday,
“We've done our homework on each team and with Australia again, it's about going out and fixing little things. I think we have to be a little bit more direct and hopefully get a few goals.”

The hockey is getting underway at the Yves-de-Manoir Stadium in the north west suburb of Colombes.
Ireland’s men take on the defending Olympic champions Belgium in Pool A at 0930 BST.
This is the site of the 1924 Olympic Stadium so you feel touched by history that this is the place were Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell won their gold medals in the 100m and 400m respectively.
Their story was chronicled in the 1981 Oscar winning film Chariots of Fire, incidentally the first film I ever went to see in the cinema.
It also saw Ireland parade at the opening ceremony as an independent nation for the first time.
Back to the hockey and Ireland beat Belgium twice recently in the FIH Pro League.
Can they do it again?

After arriving in Paris today, you can immediately sense the buzz around the city. Paris is more than ready...despite the weather.
The streets are lined with the vibrant colours of different nationalities, including some Brazilian fans dancing up the street and a crowd of Americans giving shouts of 'USA, USA, USA!' which are echoing off the historic Paris buildings.
The first people I bumped into was the family of Dean Clancy, who is the first of 10 Irish boxers in the ring.
Given he is fighting tomorrow he won't be at the ceremony, but his family are looking forward to tonight's festivities before heading to watch Dean in action tomorrow.
Boxing is the most successful sport in Ireland's history and more medals are expected to come during these Games.
