Final A
New Zealanders Eric Murray and Hamish Bond , who won all three world championships held in the Olympic cycle, as well as showing the new best world time at the preliminary stage, were considered the main favorites of the final doubles race for men. Also contenders for the medal were the silver medalists of the 2008 Games, Canadians David Calder and Scott Frandsen [2] .
After 500 meters of the distance, the French crew Germain Chardin and Dorian Mortelett , who were 0.37 seconds ahead of the New Zealanders, took the lead. However, by the middle of the race, Murray and Bond took the lead, ahead of the French by one and a half seconds. Going third, the debutants of the competition, the British George Nash and William Satch , lagged behind the leaders by more than 4 seconds. 500 meters before the finish, New Zealand rowers confidently walked towards Olympic gold, ahead of all rivals by more than 5 seconds. The fight for the remaining medals unfolded between the teams of France, Britain and Italy. Most strongly of all, the final segment was Charden and Mortelett, who became the silver medalists of the Games, ahead of the finish of the British rowers by 0.66 s. The Italian crew did not have enough strength to finish the spurt and they finished only fourth. Fifth, athletes from Australia came to the finish line, and Canadian rowers closed the final.
