Sir Steve Redgrave thinks that Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins are worthy favourites for gold following their Olympic record-breaking victory in the doubles sculls heat.

Five-time Olympic champion Sir Steve Redgrave believes that Great Britain duo Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins are likely to snatch gold in the doubles sculls final following their success in the heats.

The British pair eased into the final following a dominating performance at Eton Dorney.

"They seem so relaxed," BBC Sport quotes Redgrave as saying. "They are ready for this. That was the best I have ever seen them scull. They are favourites for this and they are looking a class above everybody else."

The duo also broke the Olympic record by finishing the race in six minutes 44.33 seconds.
