Australia dominant at Rowing Championships

Australia's paralympians have dominated the fourth day of racing at the World Rowing Championships in Korea.

Australia has dominated the medals on the fourth day of racing at the World Rowing Championships in Korea, winning two gold medals.

Paralympic silver medallist Erik Horrie began the Arms and Shoulders final as a red-hot favourite, and justified the pre-race hype to dominate the gold medal event.

His winning time smashed the previous world best record by 10-seconds, underlining the New South Welshman's domination of this event.

The surprise Australian gold medal came in the trunk-and-arms mixed double sculls, with paralympians Gavin Bellis and Kathryn Ross outfoxing pre-race favourites France to score a stunning victory.
