Sarah TAIT (AUS) after she and Kate HORNSEY (AUS) defeated New Zealand's Juliette HAIGH/Rebecca SCOWN in heat one of the women's pair at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Sarah TAIT (AUS)
On beating the favoured New Zealand crew:
"We rowed well in the middle of the race and they will have seen we didn't have to push too hard."
On coming back from injury:
"Word of my surgery got out around the world - I was surprised - so they thought I was coming into the Games injured."
Viorica SUSANU (ROU) after she and partner Georgeta ANDRUNACHE (ROU) came third in the heat of the women's pair at Eton Dorney on Saturday, missing direct qualification for Wednesday's final.
Viorica SUSANU (ROU)
On her supposed injury problems leading up to the Games:
"No, there have been no injuries."
On trailing the field after 500 metres:

Heather STANNING (GBR)
On the race:
"We have discussed the race. It was a solid performance. We were controlled in our boat. The final is the one for us."
On the crowd:
"This was the biggest crowd ever. It was a fantastic, lovely atmosphere."
"We were very much in our own boat, we enjoyed the noise but stuck to our race plan and did not get distracted by the noise."
"We had trained with our coach shouting through a megaphone and all the staff making noises around us."
On the finals, to be held on Wednesday 1 August:
"Today there was a bit of a tail wind. If it could stay as a tail wind it would be fantastic."
"In the finals we will bring out everything."
Women's Quad
Britta OPPELT (GER) and Carina BAER (GER) after their win over the United States, Poland and China in the first heat of the women's quadruple sculls on Saturday.
Britta OPPELT (GER)
On racing different boat classes this season:
"Racing in the (women's) double sculls is different. It was something we tried to see how it worked out. After that, we decided that the quadruple sculls was the priority boat class for Germany."
On what she thought was necessary to beat Ukraine, who have been dominant this season:
"We just have to win. Yes, it's that simple. We will see what happens. It is going to be tough. There's no free rides in the Olympics."
Carine BAER (GER)
On whether or not she was happy with the race:
"Yes, I am happy. But in the finals we will have to do better."
On what the crew needs to improve on:
"Our final sprint to the line needs to be better. But I am optimistic."
Megan KALMOE (USA) after finishing second behind Germnay in her heat of the women's quadruple sculls at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Megan KALMOE (USA)
On the race:
"Nobody comes here to not win. I think that we've been able to learn a lot. This was our first race in this crew racing internationally. It was very exciting."
On the noise of the 25,000 spectators:
"It was okay. I've had better. No, just kidding. We talked about the last 500 metres being loud. I did manage to hear Tom (coach Thomas TERHAAR, USA). I probably have some special frequency attuned to his voice."
On whether she watched the Opening Ceremony on Friday:
"Nope. Didn't watch it. I went to bed early, I was probably asleep at 8:45 (pm). I'll probably catch some highlights on the internet. We're here to perform well."
On the rowing and canoe sprint village in Royal Holloway during the Opening Ceremony:
"It was very quiet. There were a couple of minutes (of noise) where the Aussies and the Dutch team created their own little opening ceremony, but that was only for three minutes."
On how she feels before a race:
"It's part of my routine to be nervous. The noise, distractions, people everywhere. But I just have to get out there and do my job."
Frances HOUGHTON (GBR) on the Great Britain crew's fourth placing behind Ukraine, Australia and New Zealand in the heats of the women's quadruple sculls at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Frances HOUGHTON (GBR)
On the mentality of racing having trained to reach the Olympics:
"The physical hard work is done but this is where the mental work comes in during the next few days. At least we're underway now, Monday (the repechage) is going to be the biggest race."
On the transfer of the buzz (support) of the crowd to the rowers:
"Yes, I mean of course, with all these people willing us on you do sort of go 'aargghh'."
Kerry HORE (AUS) on her crew's second place behind Ukraine in heat two of the women's quadruple sculls at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Kerry HORE (AUS)
On the atmosphere of the race:
"It was pretty cool to have Team GB in our heat, I haven't experienced a roar like that before."
On the race:
"It was a solid race, we have been improving over the last few weeks, every training session we have got better and we work well together."
On the crew's results at the Munich world cup this year:
"We were fourth in Munich. We came here expecting to reinforce Munich and build on that."
Men's Eight
USA rowers Ross JAMES, Guiseppe LANZONE and David BANKS after winning their heat of the men's eights at Eton Dorney on Saturday, ahead of Australia, Poland and Ukraine.
Guiseppe LANZONE (USA)
On competing in London:
"Well, we had an opportunity and we just seized it. London has done an amazing job, this place is beautiful."
Ross JAMES (USA)
On how it feels to be at the Olympic Games:
"It's my first time here at the Olympics, it's the biggest stage, so there are bigger expectations."
David BANKS (USA)
On their preparation and their race:
"Everybody knew that just one crew goes to the final, so we rowed just like in the final.”
On the importance of the men's eight to the United States:
“The eight is the flagship event of the US.”
Brett NEWLIN (USA) after winning their heat of the men's eights at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Brett NEWLIN (USA)
On winning their heat:
"We knew this was a chance to go straight through to the final. Everything was executed as planned. There was a nice tailwind, and we were controlled."
On racing the men's eight compared to the men's four, in which he raced at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, coming in ninth:
"It's incredibly exciting. It's the premier event, and I'm glad to make it to the final - finally."
On what was necessary to beat reigning world champions Germany, winners of the second heat of the men's eight:
"You have to establish yourself. Don't let yourself trail the field in the beginning."
On getting inspiration from the Athens 2004 USA men's eight, who became Olympic champions:
"The crew from 2004 is a huge inspiration. I mean, (the stroke of that crew) Bryan VOLPENHEIN (USA) is here, he's the coach of the lightweight men's four. It would be great if we could follow in their footsteps."
Cameron McKENZIE-McHARG (AUS) after coming second behind USA in heat one of the men's eights at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Cameron McKENZIE-McHARG (AUS)
On the race:
"We were probably a bit too cautious. You've got to be agressive all the way down the track. We jumped out of the box all right, but we maybe tried to find too much of a comfort zone. I suppose, with these early races, you have to take those lessons and move on to the next race."
"We know we've got speed, but you can't take your foot off at all. We probably did that a little and missed an opportunity. But this gives us another race and we'll be pretty aggressive on that one."
Constantine LOULOUDIS (GBR) after Great Britain finished second behind Germany in heat 2 of the men's eight at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Constantine LOULOUDIS (GBR)
On the race:
"This is my first big international race. It was a big stretch for me. I am really happy to get it under our belt. We've got a big task ahead of us. We're in a good position for the silver medal."
On what needs to be improved:
"All the hard work has been done. We need to tweak things to get our heads in the right place."
On how he felt returning to Eton Dorney, the place where he took up rowing as an Eton schoolboy:
"It's not that I feel daunted. But it's exciting. I'm pretty proud. It feels surreal."
Malcolm HOWARD (CAN) after his team finished fourth in their heat in the men's eight at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Malcolm HOWARD (CAN)
On his crew coming in fourth, forcing them into the repechage:
"We're unhappy. We didn't do what we set up to do. We'll have to improve on Monday (in the repechage)."
On whether his crew decided to take the foot off the gas after things weren't going according to plan:
"That's not a conscious decision."
On being holders of the world best time giving them confidence:
"There's no doubt about our speed."
Rogier BLINK (NED) after his team finished third in their heat of the men's eight, behind Germany and Great Britain, at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Rogier BLINK (NED)
On the result:
"We can do better. We still have to get used to racing. (In our training camps,) we've been doing some racing, but it's not the real thing. We were only a second or so down."
"We didn't take our foot off the gas during the race, but there's sprinting and there's sprinting."
"We just have to be neater (in the repechage). We're very close."
On the Americans winning the other heat:
"They're racing with skinnys (a type of oar) so they're queer anyway. No, I mean, there's nothing you can say. The Aussies opened in 1:22, that's something you clock when you have a headwind. There's nothing you can say about the results."
On the New Zealand pair of Eric MURRAY and Hamish BOND rowing a new world record time in their heat of the men's pair:
"It was 6:08? I thought they'd do a 6:10. Everyone knew they could do it. I talked to them, and they were really pissed off about Bled (the 2011 world championships), not knowing that the conditions were good for a record attempt. You can tell that they really went for it (this time)."
Men's Double
Nathan COHEN (NZL) on winning heat three of the men's double sculls ahead of Great Britain at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Nathan COHEN (NZL)
On winning the race through a sprint in the last 500m:
"It wasn't our plan to leave it to come through in the last quarter. Everyone out there is really strong so we just need to go back on work on a few things before the next race."
Stephan KRUEGER (GER) and Eric KNITTEL (GER) after winning their heat of the men's double sculls ahead of Lithuania and Slovenia at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Stephan KRUEGER (GER)
On whether he realised they had won their race:
"No, I didn't. I was just racing towards the line, hoping that it would come soon, and I didn't know in what position we were."
Eric KNITTEL (GER)
On the margin of victory over both Lithuania and Slovenia:
"What was the margin? Just 0.04 of a second? And it was a dead heat (between Lithuania and Slovenia)? Wow, that's close. I mean, I'm not surprised, there's always just one second between a lot of crews."
On Australia not finishing in the top three:
"You still need to be wary of them. They are the reigning Olympic champions after all."
Luka SPIK (SLO) after he and doubles partner Itzok COP (SLO) finished in joint second place with Lithuania in the heat of the men's double sculls at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Luka SPIK (SLO)
On the result, and being overtaken at the end of the race:
"I would be more happy to be first. The goal was the first place. The plan was going well until the last 300 metres. Maybe we slept a little bit, because we were half a boat ahead of the Germans."
"My biggest fear is that the position will count for the lanes in the semis. With bad wind that could be difficult."
"Even today - our race was the slowest, but the closest - I think if you look at the wind, it was influencing the result."
On whether or not he was surprised to see Australia, 2008 Olympic champions, trailing the field and finishing fourth:
"(I was a) little bit surprised. We were counting on Lithuania to have a fast start, and maybe drop back in the middle (part of the race, but that didn't happen). Maybe the Australians thought that as well. They couldn't keep up with the pace."
On Australia still being dangerous:
"This is the first race. It is tricky. We are one month after (the world cup in) Munich and you need to come back into your rhythm. It's easier to be good in the first races, but it doesn't say anything if you're bad. Australia in the semis will not be easy."
Cedric BERREST/Julien BAHAIN (FRA) after they came third in their heat of the men's double sculls behind Norway and Italy at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Cedric BERREST (FRA)
On racing at the Olympics:
"We are training very hard for four years now to have the chance to compete in it and give it a shot. Now the important thing is to get into the finals. It is very exciting, but that is what we like."
On inspiration from the gold medal won by France at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games:
"It was my first experience at Olympics and I was racing in the quads and lost and came 13th. I was in the grandstand that day of the gold and I was like a kid and I thought that was what I wanted to do. I was 19 years old then and the doubles and quads were in the same training camp, so that was good."
Julien BAHAIN (FRA)
On the chance of a medal:
"Every year no one is giving us a chance to get a medal, and every year we get a medal. You cannot predict anything."
Light Men's Four
Lucas TRAMER (SUI) on winning the first heat of the men's lightweight fours at Eton Dorney on Saturday, beating South Africa, Denmark, Italy and the United States.
Lucas TRAMER (SUI)
On being asked if he expected more competition:
"Yes. We are the youngest of all 13 crews but have been top four or five in the world all year so we knew we could do well but we did expect more competition."
On coming back from injury:
"I have been injured for a long while and got bumped (out of the boat) in Lucerne and Munich so am very pleased to be back here."
Nicolas MOUTTON (FRA) after his team won their heat of the lightweight men's four ahead of Netherlands, China and Poland at Eton Dorney on Saturday.
Nicolas MOUTTON (FRA)
On France's race plan:
"We had a good start and it is tough to get a good start because the Chinese are very good in the first half."
Morten JORGENSEN (DEN) after coming third in their heat of the lightweight men's four at Eton Dorney on Saturday, behind Switzerland and South Africa.
Morten JORGENSEN (DEN)
On the race:
"This heat was not the best we can do. The wind was against us."
On plans for their next race:
"Our plan is to win. Our main concerns are Great Britain and Australia, but we are strong and we now have to show the other crews what we can do. When it comes down to it, we are the fastest crew in this event."
Eskild EBBESEN (DEN) after coming third in their heat of the lightweight men's four at Eton Dorney on Saturday, behind Switzerland and South Africa.
Eskild EBBESEN (DEN)
On the race:
"It wasn't what we hoped for. We had a stressed first 500m. That sets the rhythm for the rest of the race."
"We rowed with our upper arms (instead of using the legs to get the rhythm right). It was hasty."
On being surprised with some of the results in the other heats of the lightweight men's four:
"Not really. China coming in third in the heat was a bit of a surprise. But nothing else."
On whether or not the result in the heat was important:
"Right now it's just the heat. But we need to improve."
Richard CHAMBERS (GBR), Peter CHAMBERS (GBR) and Rob WILLIAMS (GBR) on winning their heat of the lightweight men's four ahead of Australia.
Richard CHAMBERS (GBR)
On plans for the semifinal:
"We will go out to win - and we want to win the final. We've trained hard enough to know that we can do it and we have to deliver. We are going to have to keep a cool head and take on the other five boats in the semi."
On competing in an Olympic Games:
"I do think me having been in Beijing has helped. We were the only crew there that didn't have someone from a previous Olympics. I just keep telling the guys they have nothing to be scared of, to just go out and enjoy it."
On the effect of being in front of a home crowd:
"You can hear them the whole way down and it's like nothing I've ever heard at any regatta before. We'll never get anything like it again."
On competing against the traditionally strong Danish crew:
"We'll just keep doing what we're doing."
Peter CHAMBERS (GBR)
On the negative effect of not being able to hear other crew members because of crowd noise:
"I don't really listen anyway. We know what's going to happen as we've all done so much together, We know what we need to do and we'll be fine. We spend enough time in each others' pockets to know what we're thinking and feeling."
On the effect of competing alongside his brother:
"I think it gives you that little bit extra. You know each of you is going to dig deep."
Rob WILLIAMS (GBR)
On the race:
"We just stayed in our boat and rowed our race. We're very internally focused."
On how it felt moving through the Australians at the third 500m:
"I'm only really thinking about ourselves. The Aussies are a fantastic team but if we can get our boat to go as fast as possible, that will do the work for us - rowing is a non-contact sport. We just row the boat as quick as we can."
On rating the crew's performance:
"I'd give it a solid seven out of 10. It's a heat, not the final and we know the final will come down to winning by a foot (30 cm)."
On plans for the rest day before the semifinal on Monday:
"Tomorrow is about clearing the head, the next day is when we'll start thinking about the semifinal."
On the effect of being in front of a home crowd:
"The crowd were ludicrous. I've never felt anything like it. The British public supporting us makes us go quicker."
Men’s Pair
Germain CHARDIN (FRA)
On the buzz in the crowd and his feelings on the race:
"It was incredibly exciting, the fact that there were so many people there, it just made it unbelievable to race in. It really does increase the excitement with the British being so animated."
Thomas PESZEK (USA)
On the race:
"We can take some positives out of it as this is the first race we've had to push. We are a new pair and haven't had many races together. We weren't far off the pace."
"We had a good start and will look to nail that again."
On the Olympic Games experience:
"It (the atmosphere) fades away when you're racing."
Silas STAFFORD (USA)
On the Olympic Games experience:
"Rowing doesn't get a lot of attention day-to-day but getting off the bus here here gave me goose bumps."
James MARBURG (AUS)
On whether the race went according to plan:
"Well it didn't go unaccording to plan, but maybe we let people go a bit in the middle. The plan now I guess is just to keep positive and work on staying fast."
Nikolaos GKOUNTOULAS (GRE)
On points to work on:
"The first race was a problem and we will take it step by step. We will work on some points like having calm at race pace."
On the semifinal:
"All 12 crews have the potential to get into the final six. If we have wind in the semifinal it will be the same for us if it's a headwind or not."
Eric MURRAY (NZL)
On feeling prepared for the Games:
"There's one thing saying you're really well prepared and there's another to go and show you're prepared, but this has given us a real confidence boost."
Hamish BOND (NZL)
On sensing their position during the race:
"You don't really have a sense of how fast you're going down the course, you have an indication but it's not accurate, so we had no idea about the record until we saw the time, but yeah, it's awesome."
Scott FRANDSEN (CAN)
On the race and the fact other crews closed in in the final stages:
"It was a solid race. A good first step. We got into the race, got well into our rhythm and were in control. We knew where the finish was."
"We were not distracted by the Olympic hype."
On their main competitors, New Zealand (Hamish BOND/Eric Murray, NZL), winning their heat in a world best time:
"It's definitely impressive. But we're not racing times. We're racing them."
On whether or not he wants to race the New Zealand men's pair in the semifinals:
"Part yeah, part no. I'm fairly indifferent."
On the conditions:
"It's swirling. There was a crosswind going from port to starboard at the start. Between (the) 500 and 1500 (metre points) there was a tailwind, and in the last 500 metres the crosswind came from the other direction. I had to adjust my steering a little bit, but nothing too much."
William SATCH (GBR)
On the crew's tactics:
"We've changed the way we row slightly and almost gone back to what we did originally - kept it raw and basic. And the crowd cheering you on gives you a bit of a pump."
On communication during the race:
"We don't actually say that much. George (NASH, GBR) has a few basic calls but if it's going well you can feel it. We try to listen to the boat rather than chatting over it."
On plans for the next stage of the London 2012 competition:
"At a world cup you race every day so it's going to be a bit different and we have to make sure we don't take the foot off the gas, but to recover you have to rest. We're both quite young and we haven't done a full Olympic training programme, but we know how to race side by side. I have loads of confidence in George (NASH, GBR) and I hope he has some in me."
Men’s Single
Lassi KARONEN (SWE)
On his race:
"I cannot be unhappy with a win. I was quite comfortable at the start. Azerbaijan (Aleksandar ALEKSANDROV) wasn't too far ahead. I pushed through him halfway and could ease down afterwards."
On his unisuit, which had not arrived by Friday:
"This is the new uni, yes. It arrived this morning. Just in time."
Hamadou DJIBO ISSAKA (NIG)
On his Olympic experience:
"This is my first Olympic Games. It is very special."
"I only started rowing three months ago."
On the crowd giving him the biggest cheer of the afternoon, even though he was trailing the field a lot:
"That was very nice. It gave me courage to keep going."
Mahe DRYSDALE (NZL)
On his goals for the first heat:
"I had goals, sure. Number one, win that race. Number two, definitely have a good first 1000 metres, it's important in the heats. You wanna get a good blowout straight off but you don't wanna waste your energy right now, if you're at 100% every time then you're gonna drain yourself."
On his rivals after Saturday's races and whether he is worried:
"There are plenty of contenders in the field, Tim MAEYENS (BEL) will definitely be there, the Cuban (Angel FOURNIER RODRIGUEZ) is a real contender too."
On Hamish BOND (NZL) and Eric MURRAY (NZL) setting a world best time of 6:08.50 in the men's pair:
"Six seconds, wow, it doesn't surprise me. It's a great confidence boost to the whole team, I mean if they can beat it by six seconds, then everything has the potential to be much closer than we thought."
Olaf TUFTE (NOR)
On his race, following a disappointing world cup season:
"This race was shit. It was nothing. I was doing good in the training, but this was just like the races in the season."
"There's no point in having a Porsche if you don't know how to drive it."
On progressing through to the quarterfinals:
"The other guys were a lot quicker. Tim (MAEYENS, BEL) did 6.42, I did 7.00. (This race) wasn't much."
On the Norwegian men's double sculls winning their heat:
"They didn't row too good, but they were fast. They will not win, but they have a chance to medal."
Tim MAEYENS (BEL)
On his race:
"I was fighting it out with the Mexican (Patrick LOLIGER SALAS) and then I noticed I was overlapping with the Cuban (Angel FOURNIER RODRIGUEZ). I decided to push through. He was rating 37 the entire race, I was rating 34, so I could still take it up a notch."
"I wanted to win. I wanted to avoid the bad lanes in case we get unfair weather conditions."
On posting a time of 6:42 seconds:
"I've raced to a time like this twice before, so this isn't a personal best."
Alan CAMPBELL (GBR)
On him looking in control out there:
"We turned a corner. Training has been really good. There's a lot more to come, if anything. I felt very controlled. I looked at the 500 metre mark (and what my position was), and I felt very controlled."i
On Northern Irish rowers performing well today:
"Yeah, it's a one-one. The Chambers brothers (lightweight rowers Peter CHAMBERS/Richard CHAMBERS, GBR) had it much tougher. They had a fantastic race. Hats off to them. But the big performance today was the Kiwi pair (of Hamish BOND/Eric MURRAY, NZL, who finished in a new world best time). They were pretty phenomenal. Unbelievable. I watched that race, it gave me a big boost."
On how to see the rest of the tournament:
"I think, babysteps. Get into the final and anything's possible. I've dreamt that race. Rowed that race a thousand times. I'm not trying to get too far ahead, we have to keep to lid on it. It's Christmas eve on the 2nd of August. Christmas day after that one."
On whether or not something unexpected happened in the race:
"My GPS fell off. I didn't understand what the umpire was saying. He was talking in broken English, and I was like 'Am I being penalised? Did I do something wrong?' Then a guy in a launch gave me a (new) GPS. I guess that you just have to expect the unexpected."
On the noise of the crowd in the tribunes:
"I was watching the races on the BBC and I thought they were dubbing it. I genuinely believed the BBC were putting on a record. And I kept wondering where they were recording it - 'it must be somewhere in the middle (of the tribune)'. I kept thinking of the Crucible, you know, snooker, where you have two tables at the same time and you hear the cheers from the other side when a guy is lining up a shot? It kind of felt like that. 'Did he have the black?'"
"It was bigger than Karapiro (2010 world championships), bigger than Henley (Royal Regatta). Can't remember if the final of Beijing was better than this. It was phenomenal."
On the diversity in the field:
"We've got the universiality rule, and not to take it away from anyone, but some of the guys came in by easier qualifications."
On who he'd like to race in the quarterfinals:
"I quite like to get SYNEK (Ondrej SYNEK, CZE) or Mahe (DRYSDALE, NZL)."
On how he felt coming into a big tournament injury-free:
"This is quite unique. I have not been in this position in the last two years. I had glandular fever, so this is unique. I am very happy about it. I was quite excited when we kicked off today. Everything's has fallen into place very well. I am in the best shape right now."
Women’s Single
Kim CROW (AUS)
On the race:
"It was good to get to the start line and feel the atmosphere of the race. It is early days yet and (there are) so many entrants that we won't see anyone's true colours until the semis. We can't take anyone for granted just yet."
On the next race:
"I've got the double (sculls) on Monday so I'll conserve (energy) until then."
On rowing in two events:
"We have a very firm aim. Monday is our opportunity to say we're here. Whatever happens on Monday I'll keep rowing both (events)."
Miroslava KNAPKOVA (CZE)
On her goals for the heat:
"The plan was winning, so I fulfilled it."
On her expectations:
"We'll see.This was just the first race in this venue. Now I can compare myself with the other girls."
On her feelings when crossing the finish line:
"I felt that it was OK. But we'll see how the next races will go."
Sanita PUSPURE (IRL)
On the race:
"I did a job and got through to the quarterfinals which will be the main race for me to try to get into the semis. I didn't do a lot of hard work and got through without hurting myself too much. The plan was to start off agressive and then settle into my own rhythm. In the beginning it was a battle between me and the Lithuanian girl (Donata VISTARTAITE) but then I ended up battling with myself to keep my eye on my own boat and not to look around. It wasn't a special performance - I'm saving the special ones for later."
On the course:
"The course was all right. The wind was changing every few minutes so we can't even compare times today. It wasn't too bad - I was expecting the weather to be worse than it was."
On her prospects for the remainder of the competition:
"It's going to be tough to get into the semifinal as there's some really good girls out there, but I'll do my best. I'll be happy to get to the B final."
On recently becoming an Irish citizen, having grown up in Latvia, and competing for Ireland for the first time:
"It's amazing. I feel really honoured to be able to do that. It's great to have the Irish supporters behind me, screaming their lungs out today."
