Heat 3
Many of the competitors criticised that the regatta was not called off due to the challenging conditions. Miloš Vasić and Nenad Beđik capsized and did not get back into the boat, but the International Rowing Federation (FISA) ruled that despite their DNF they could compete in the repechage.[1][2]
