Telegraph Video and AP 06 August 2016 7:24pm BST Rio 2016 Banner logo After all the talk about staying out of the water in Rio de Janeiro, Serbian rowers Milos Vasic and Nenad Benik found
themselves immersed in it on Day 1 of the Olympic regatta. The Serb pair capsized - a rare sight at elite rowing events - in the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, where choppy waters left athletes
struggling to stay in their boats. "I can't recall ever being in a race where one of the crews has capsized," said New Zealand rower Hamish Bond, who won the qualifying heat
with partner Eric Murray. "It's unfortunate for them." Vasic and Benik overturned halfway through the 2-kilometer course. Stunned and soaked, they clung to their boat as the
other three crews continued toward the finish line. Normally crews need to cross the finish line to compete in the next round - swimming with their boat if necessary. But to save time race
officials dropped that requirement, plucked the Serbs from the water and gave them a pass to compete in the repechage.
