Olympic champions Zac Purchase and Mark Hunter won their first event since Beijing - one of five gold medals for Britain at the Munich World Cup.



Katherine Grainger and Anna Watkins won gold in the double and silver in the quadruple sculls.

GB swept the lightweight events as the women's double and men's four won, as did the men's openweight double.



GB men's pair took silver but the men's four and the men's eight only managed third. Sculler Alan Campbell was fifth.



Purchase and Hunter showed few signs of rustiness as they withstood a fast start from Germany and defeated New Zealand's world champions Storm Uru and Peter Taylor by half a boat length.
