Martin Sinkovic and Valent Sinkovic, who won gold in the double sculls in Rio and were pairs world champions in 2018 and 2019, pulled away from the field almost immediately to win in 6:15.29, 1.29 seconds ahead of silver medallists Romania, with Denmark taking bronze.

Tokyo Bay again dished out windy conditions and the heat continued to punish competitors, with temperatures hovering near 36 degrees Celsius Thursday morning, as the sun broke through early cloud cover.
