Team GB's Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger win gold in the women's double sculls.

Team GB's Anna Watkins and Katherine Grainger have won gold in the women's double sculls.

They produced a dominant display and led from the start to win gold ahead of Australia and Poland.

The Team GB pair were 0.7s up a quarter of the way through the race and the lead was extended to over a second at the halfway point.

The advantage had been further extended to 2.6s with 500m to go, and with the gold medal sealed, they eased to the line for a famous triumph.
