Katherine Grainger won British rowing's first medal of the Olympic regatta and the last one of her career when, along with partner Vicky Thornley, she took a hard-fought silver in Thursday's double sculls final.

This followed a season where the duo had failed to medal and posted some lacklustre performances. But there was nothing lacklustre about today's race.
