On a morning with some showers of drizzly rain spectators have ponchos, hoods, and also umbrellas (which are lowered during the races). Here single sculler medallists are making a lap of honour. We are in the second row of the main area of seating, there is space for spectators in wheelchairs just in front of us, a few more rows of seating in front of that. The woman in a purple jacket standing near the camera is a volunteer "gamesmaker" who was helping any spectators coming in or out of the stand between races.
