"We felt that the rest of the world would probably step on perhaps more than they have done here," British Rowing performance director Louise Kingsley told BBC Sport.
"We've been pushing hard back at home but it's just been fantastic to come out and actually demonstrate the standards that we are at.
"We never stop. It's great to take the moment and enjoy the atmosphere. The team is in a fantastic place and the team behind the team is in a fantastic place."
"We've definitely got one eye on Paris [2024 Olympics]. We can't sit here and rest on our laurels, looking at the crews there is plenty we can work on."
