Aussies claim bronze in double sculls

Australian rowers David Crawshay and Scott Brennan have won a bronze medal in the men's double scull at a World Cup regatta in Munich.

Crawshay and Brennan finished two and a half boat lengths behind Great Britain and Germany in a time of 6minutes 59.94seconds.

"We have had a good build up to this regatta and it is great to win the bronze medal," Crawshay said.

"We know that we still have a lot of work to do before (the) Beijing (Olympics) but this is a good start to the season."

Australia will feature in the four more finals starting from 10pm AEST.
