However, this medal is not recognised by the International Olympic Committee because it was awarded by default – there were only three entries to the event and, having raced the heats, the British crew did not turn up for the final. Note 2: The medal tally for the 1908 Olympics is disputed. However, the IOC recognises GB as winning four gold, three silver and one bronze in this year.
