The time now for the latest on the Olympics. Day 6, of course, in Paris. More medals up for grabs for Team GB in both rowing and swimming in particular. Team GB will be hoping to keep up the momentum of the success from yesterday when five medals were picked up across the games. Let's have a look at the table as things stand. China currently top nine gold medals. They have followed by France and Japan, who both have eight. After yesterday's additions to the Hall, Team GB currently fifth with six gold medals. Our correspondent, Rachel Venables is at Fulham Reach Boat Club, ahead, of course, as we mentioned, a lot of high-profile rowing events today, next to a legend of the sport, no less. Over to you, Rachel.

Yes, I'm back on the Thames. So welcome to this beautiful stretch of water here in West London. I'm told the conditions are absolutely perfect. It's certainly beautiful and calm here. We're just sitting and enjoying and watching as the rowers head out in the morning. This is Fulham Reach Boat Club, which is a club that aims really to make rowing much more accessible to anyone of all abilities and backgrounds. But of course, this is such an exciting day for Team GB rowers, and I am delighted to be joined here by Sir Steve Redgrave. Sir Steve, talk to me, first of all, about how the Paris Olympics have been going on so far for Team GB rowing in general?

The first day of finals yesterday, which we took one gold medal, the two finals and a fourth place. A little bit disappointed with the fourth place, but that sport is going really well. We've got a good day today with four finals, but we're in three of them, and each one of them could win a medal. The Girls Double Scale, will be the first up. They were the last boat to qualify only eight weeks ago, and they've been just storming through the field, got themselves into a final which we wouldn't have dreamed of four weeks ago, and now they got a chance of a medal. Then following by Helen Glover and the Women's Four, the favorites to win. They were still medalists at last year's World Championships and haven't been beaten this year. So hopefully they'll keep that going. And then the men's four, which we have a huge history within, they're going to find it tough. They are raining world champions, but America and New Zealand got really fast for the medals we split between them.

Fantastic. And I know you were just telling me that you used to train from Hammersmith, which is just down past us. You said you must have cast off from there what? Thousands and thousands of time in your career.

Thousands of times trading for the sole Olympics, that one was. Yeah.

And how does it feel, I guess, to be back on the water today and to see the shape that British rowing has taken in those decades. I mean, such an incredible transformation, such a positive transformation.

As a sport, as the whole, we did really bad at the Atlanta Olympics '96, and that's where the lottery, the National Lottery, came on board. And we're able to give out grants for athletes of improving infrastructure, of picking up a set up that at the highest level we can have our teams competing with everybody else in the world, which we have been doing for the last 30 years. But they said grassroots of venues like this is that that's what the National Otter is sporting as well, is bringing on the next generation. Now, maybe in four years time or eight years time, some of these kids could be competing for gold medals themselves.

And how do you spot that talent? Is there a magical solution when you see a youngster pick up the awe and get into a boat and you think they've got what it takes, or is it just about the drive and the determination?

There is a physical demand to every sport of a physical makeup. The heads of school that I went to, the head of the English Department, started the school boat club and asked a few people to row. And he used to talk about the size of their hands and feet. If they had big hands and feet, they're growing to big people. Rowing is a leverage sport, so it chooses bigger people. You got gymnastics, they tend to be smaller. And so there is a sport out there, certainly Olympic sport, of every size and shape of person, and it's finding the right one at the right time and the enthusiasm, the passion to get to the top level.

Fantastic. And then just lastly, for anybody Everybody watching those races later on today, what should they look out for? Is there one particular to focus on or one particular person or story that you want them to know about to really enthuse that?

Well, you got Helen Glover, who's a mother of three. In her fourth Olympics, came fourth for the last Olympics, but two gold medals before that. I think she's going to add to our Olympic gold medal tally from that. Don't be surprised if they're not out in front at the beginning. They might not leave it quite as late as the quadruple skull did yesterday, but the second half, they'll be stronger than anybody else. And I think that's when they'll take control.

Fantastic. So Steve, great. Thank you so much for speaking to us, for coming on the boat this morning as well, for being such a good sport. On that note, we do have a wonderful driver here, Andrew, and a wonder if we can get you down to Hammersmith, can we get you in one more boat? I'll give it a try. Pick up it all one more time.

I think my rowing days are over.

He's going to make a dump for the shore. But thank you so much for speaking to us. Really exciting couple of hours to come for the GB rowing.
