It was a good day for Greek sports on Tuesday as both men's and women's
rowing teams made it through to their respective finals in Rio's Olympic
Games. First, it was Anastasia Asoumanaki and Katerina Nikolaidou who
advanced to the finals of the women's double sculls, after qualifying
first in the semi-final race with a time of 6:51:99.
The team will claim a second Olympic medal for women's rowing after the

lightweight double sculls in London's Olympics.
Shortly after them, Stefanos Douskos, Spyros Giannaros, Yiannis Petrou
and Panagiotis Magdanis finished third place in men's lightweight
four. The team was competing at the second semi-final and achieved a
time of 6:23:95. Both finals are scheduled for Thursday (August 11),
