London 2012 and Rio de Janeiro 2016 victor Helen Glover of Britain and the Czech Republic's Michala Pospisilova made up the rest of the podium in second and third, respectively.

Finland's Joel Naukkarinen then won bronze following a narrow finish where he pipped Hall to the line.

Ander Martin and Esther Briz Zamorano of Spain clinched the coastal mixed double sculls gold following a convincing win over Britain's Charles Cousins and Clare Jamison.
