Last updated at 11:41, Friday, 03 August 2012
Despite a valiant effort, Hexham's Matt Wells has missed out on a second Olympic medal.
The Beijing bronze medallist and his Great Britain quadruple scull could only finish fifth in the final.
They were lying third after 1,000m, but faded in the second half of the race.
Germany trook the gold, Croatia silver and Australia bronze.
