• The re-formed women’s quadruple sculls of Pia Greiten, Sarah Wibberenz, Frauke Hundeling and Lisa Gutfleisch earned bronze behind the Netherlands and Great Britain.
• The Deutschland-Achter missed the A-final after placing third in its heat and losing out on time to rivals from the other heat, and will race the B-final on Saturday.
• Germany’s women’s eight advanced directly to the A-final after finishing second to Great Britain in the heat and placing ahead of the United States.
• Single sculls Olympic champion Oliver Zeidler won his quarterfinal and races the semifinal on Friday, with crosswinds and heat from typhoon remnants prompting lane-fairness concerns.
