Emma Twigg started the medal rush by winning gold in the women's single sculls.
Twigg dominated the final winning in an Olympic best time of 7 mins, 13.97 secs.
She led from start to finish and crossed the line 3.42 secs ahead of Hanna Prakatsen of the Russian Olympic Committee, with Austria's Magdalena Lobnig claiming bronze.
Twigg told
Sky Sport she could not believe it.
"All these years many, many disappointments and I just can't thank the people I have surrounded myself by enough, they've got me here, that's not my result that's my team.
"I feel like this is fate and here we are, and it's an amazing feeling."
