在伦敦奥运第5天的比赛中,英国队在赛艇女子双人单桨决赛中夺得金牌。
这可是英国在本届奥运上的第一面金牌。
现在他们可以先长出一口气了,接下来等着看他们该怎么自吹自擂了。
Olympics rowing: Glover and Stanning win gold for Britain
Great Britain won their first gold medal of the London 2012 Olympics as rowers Helen Glover and Heather Stanning triumphed in the women's pair.
The world silver medallists led from the start, clocking seven minutes 27.13 seconds to become the first British female rowers to win an Olympic title.
The medal ended Britain's five-day wait for gold, while Australia claimed silver and New Zealand bronze.
"I want to collapse I'm so overjoyed," said Stanning.
"We kidded ourselves that there was no pressure. The last thing we said to each other was 'it's just for us, it's just for us', but it was for the whole of the team and the whole of the country. 看得出都在憋着一口气。
"We hope this is the start of things to come from the Great Britain team. It's just brilliant. I hope the crowd really enjoyed today." 这个单词things这里可不是很简单哟。

英国夺得本届奥运会首枚金牌
英国女子赛艇双人划选手为英国夺得2012年伦敦奥运会首枚金牌。
英国选手海伦·格洛弗(Helen Glover)和希瑟·斯坦宁(Heather Stanning)的金牌,结束了伦敦奥运会开赛四天来英国人焦急的等待,也是英国女选手在奥运会赛艇项目上首次夺冠。
四年前,一个当兵,一个打曲棍球
今年27岁的斯坦宁19岁时参加赛艇训练,两年后决定投身军旅,加入了英国皇家炮兵部队。
2008年,斯坦宁决定暂时离开军营,重新投入赛艇训练,两年后与格洛弗结成双人划伙伴。
今年26岁的格洛弗在投身赛艇项目前曾是曲棍球和越野赛跑选手,并参加过国际级的比赛。
也是在2008年,一个发现奥运人才的项目引起格洛弗的注意,她才平生第一次拿起划桨。
赛前,两人并没有引起媒体太多的关注,因为媒体一直聚焦在奥运会三连冠的男子赛艇四人划项目上。
只是在预赛中两人创下奥运会最佳成绩,人们的期望才骤然升温。BBC体育记者预测的名单中排在第一位。
斯坦宁赛前曾表示,赛后她会重返军营。不管她是否会改变初衷,为英国夺得本届奥运会首枚金牌的历史将不会改变。
继续看英国媒体的鼓吹:
Praise has poured in for cyclist Bradley Wiggins and rowers Helen Glover and Heather Stanning after they scooped Britain's first gold medals of 2012.
赞颂像倾盆大雨一样浇下来。
David Cameron described the successes in rowing and cycling as a "golden moment for Britain".
首相说“不列颠的黄金时刻”
Mr Cameron said: "I think it's already a great Olympics, already a great start but this is really going to put rocket boosters on it for the whole country. I'm very, very excited."
