Australia has won a silver medal in the men's quadruple sculls on day six of the Rio Games.
The team of Karsten Forsterling, Alexander Belonogoff, Cameron Girdlestone and James McRae were gold medal favourites, but missed out to Germany who defended their London 2012 title.
The event was originally scheduled for day five of the Games but was postponed due to rough weather conditions.
The German crew led from the start on the Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and finished 1.15 seconds ahead of the Australians.
Meanwhile the Australian men's four are into the Olympic rowing final after winning their semi-final.
The Australians blitzed the field, leading from start to finish to win by more than three seconds and book a place in Friday's medal race.
Great Britain, who have won every gold medal in the event since 2000, won the other semi-final but the Australians were more than five seconds faster.
The women's eight, who were late inclusions in the field following the disqualification of Russia, missed the medal race after finishing last in their repechage.
