Ayling and Edward, who had been in such fine form in the leadup to the Games,

 came home second in their repechage, behind the Dutch pair and with plenty up

their sleeve at the finish. They felt they had addressed a few technical aspects of

their row and said they felt "comfortable" as they tried to conserve as much energy

as possible.
