Germany win gold in the men's eight rowing event at the Eton Dorney as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games (1 August).
Canada won the silver medal in the event with Team GB claiming bronze.
Rowing has been staged at all the editions of the Olympic Games, except in 1896 in Athens. It was, however, on the programme, but a stormy sea compelled the organisers to cancel the events.
Women made their debut at the Games in 1976 in Montreal. They competed in a smaller programme. The Olympic Games in 1996 in Atlanta marked the introduction of the lightweight events.

This olympics final was like: lots of English speaking countries and Germany+ Netherlands
lol but The Netherlands is basically an English speaking country now
Germany's move on the last 250m brought me to tears. Half a boat-length of overtake in less than 100m is the kind of rare determination that makes this race so memorable.
+Boof Have you seen the New Zealand double scull in this same Olympics? Take a look at it, it's quite an example of highest endurance, also! Regards!

Yeah. I never thought they could catch up but they came out of nowhere and won the race.
Btw, having raced at Dorney Lake, it’s a 2K race, and te last “segment” where Germany came through to win the race was actually 500m
Achtung!!!
What I truly appreciate -as a German- is the sportsmanship of English commentators. Be it football (soccer for our American friends) or here: they just give respect even when their onw team lost. No trash talk, no excuses like the water was wetter under the German boat, just acknowledgement of a great athletic performance... That's what makes a true champion. And they got us in Rio: UK Gold Germany Silver. It's a great rivalry of two countries with a great rowing history. I hope it goes on like this.
1:01 Rowing is for life
Canada at the end, though... Damn. Just damn.
Canada wasn’t in here it was Ukraine and Poland not Canada 🇵🇱🇺🇦🇨🇦
@@ellapfautz296 One of the parts was Canada vs US, that's what I was referring to I think. But thanks for replying to this, it's brought me back to watching some legendary rowing moments!
Ella Pfautz she means in the grand final
It's a fantastic skill from the commentator to sap all emotion out of the race. It's a shame Gary Herbert's commentary isn't on this.
What an incredible finish by Canada,!
That was great. Rowing is so hard. This sport is interesting.
16:57 3 seat canada, telling the world how to be a frikin' horse
9:50 A-Final
Well down Germany
done ;-)
@@Hardside65 down passt heute besser 😂
What a beautifully set boat, the 8 that I row in constantly bobs back and forth on starboard/port 😂
This is the most viewed rowing related video on the Olympics channel. I checked. The next most viewed video (as of may 2017) is 20 years of badmiton.
Those canadiens sure can sprint
What is the stroke rate of the Canadians at the last 250 m?
+Dragneel 45-50
+Dragneel 50 is possible, half to 3/4 slide
Canadas Bowman in the final 200m was giving it absolute welly. Interesting technique aswell, in that he opens up very early. I guess hes trying to lever the bow of the boat up out of the water?
The race with german commentary,that would be nice........ Norbert Galeske
Versteht hier doch niemand
that leg drive from canada thou :0
Go Germany! They sure pulled it out on this one!

Endurance events in the Olympics always move me the most.
Germany is very good at all sports. a New Zealander I'm happy Deutschland didnt take up Rugby Union . Deutschland would be the worlds best at that as well. In New Zealand to become a rower you have to have ginger hair . Mind you it might explain why we havent won jack since Munich in 1972
yes, but in the right conditions olympic boats get low 5:20's.
A junior crew must've had a helluva tailwind, but still, very impressive time indeed.
3 seat in the GBR boat forgot to put his glasses on 15:57
Three-tard!!
adamski in the german bow has amazing technique
its amazing that at any one time there will be at least two crews exactly in time with each other
That cough right at the beginning is HILARIOUS!!!
Maybe Corona lmao
It is annoying that it says who wins in the title. It ruins it.
Fantastic race. I wish though there was an Olympic 5K Head Race. It would show the world just how much faster a coxed boat can go vs coxless.
LOL a guy from thew netherlands in literally named hamburger
what does mean nothing more than that he is from hamburg ...
Wow what an exciting finish!
Haha, David...., it's your dream, but in Rio it's 2000 m again, and watch out for the german eight. : ) In 1960 olympic games Rom wins the german eight the first time gold and 1963 invite J. F. Kennedy the same crew into the white house.
Imagine how fast Vikings before if they would join in this kind of competition now... big bearded men rowing like bad asses shouting at each other..
Different wind conditions would make a big difference to the overall time.
Deutschland ist besste😍
We were Vikings homie what do you expect
Der Deutschland-Achter ist der Beste!!!
JAAA
Ja!
Dude at 17:52 looking a bit PC principle
this is fantastic
LOL
reading The Boys in the Boat brought me here
That's an awesome book!
Me too...I want to see if the shells have any camber
Germany’s second half is just too strong
Haha lol a load of huge muscular bears and some tiny guy in the back :D
A SUPER 4th 500m by the Canucks! Great race!
The commentator either shuts up or speaks louder...
Interesting that Germany should win this, looking back at the stats, they're so much lighter than the Canadian crew and the British crew, only a couple over 100Kg, whereas almost the entire Canadian 8 was 100+. The Germans were mostly around 92.
+Benjamin Dover If this would be true, only light weight men would fight.
+Benjamin Dover It is a power to weight ratio. Most of the Lightweight 4- winners would medal in the open 4+. Speed is speed.
+Kemp Savage Biggest bullshit I ever heard
Adam Bark Why? When you look at the winner's times in the LM2X Vs the openweight, they're typically only 10 secs or so apart. It stands to reason that without needing to make weight and they could be only 5kg or so heavier, the difference would be even smaller. I think the whole bigger=faster thing in rowing probably merits a lot of re-examination. It's certainly true up to a point but I think the point of diminishing returns when it comes to on the water performance (as opposed to erg performance) is probably a lot lower than conventional wisdom suggests.
Aren't you defeating your own arguement when you say "if the LM2X were heavier they'd be faster". I'd argue weight/max power only comes into play if the technical skill of the rowers are equal. It's not about how fast you can make the boat go but how little you slow it down
edit: for longer choppier races such as the boat race i believe weight/power plays a bigger role as its harder to be clean and if you're fighting waves the bigger crew tends to win more
Any idea if there's a copy of Gary's commentary somewhere in the interwebz?
how did you know that feeling? are you a medalist?
It all depends on conditions. Unless it's a FISA certified course and conditions. My frosh/novice lightweight 8+ recently went 5:25 and we don't even compare to these guys
Mitchell Williams was it a 1500m
no way you pulled a 5:25 as a novice crew on a 2000m...simply no way
I'm going to pretend i didn't read that first bit. the bow seat must be one, if not the MOST, technically astute rower in the crew. a good catch, a strong drive and a clean tap are what is required to lift the bow seat out of the water to make it plane. not to say you are wrong, as the stroke must be up the top too, but the bow has a large responsibility, and thus must be adept.

The coxswain should have a drum and hit it for motivation
Erstaunlich!🇩🇪🇩🇪
What is the difference?
unbelievable leg drive too
Empacher.
17:14 best feeling ever.
Singling out one person in a boat of Olympians when they all have relatively the same stroke? Seems a little unlikely they'd put the most fundamentally sound rower in the bow...try taking a look at stroke seat and six seat and you'll see excellence.
on a 1500...
The lads in boat 6 the Bondi Bunnies were hanging back waiting for a good surf break!!
the A final gives places 1-6 overall, the B final for places 7-12, C is 13-18, etc. it's so all boats can get an accurate ranking
There is no seat 8 or seat 1. It is coxswain stroke seat 7 seat 6 seat 5 seat 4 seat 3 seat 2 seat bow seat
goddamn, so fast
Look at 15:47 and tell me that we didn't win that watch the bow bak
14:41 nearly crabs then looks right to make sure they didnt lose any ground
He hates sitting up there all alone. Cos it's the loneliness that's the killer.
sorry for the silly question, but is 2 seat the second one from the back of the boat, or the front of the boat (so from the coxswain)? Sorry, but I know that in france for example, 2 seat is the second seat from thefront, while in germany its the second one from the back
Sebastian Gr. From the back of the boat: so the stroke who is in front of the coxswain is seat 8
Interesting sport. Where do people train for this? Is there like an Olympic trial to qualify or what?
there is a training video of them where it looks particularly suspect
b final, first thought as a rower, oooohhhhhhh DRAG RACE!
11:00
It all from dat dere body-swing (note bow seat in particular)
LOL. You weren't watching, Merlin. (Canada)
🔥🔥🔥
So there are, for example, two gold medals?
It would be interesting to know whether one of the boats in the competition ever sunk or capsized…
I assume the single skull has before, if you have ever been in one they are so unbalanced
@@phillips8292 yeah those obviously. But the eight-rowers?
What happened to the USA?
Yea, but they weren't, so it wasn't.
That Polish team looks like the hardest group of men i've seen in a while. Badass.
на раслабоне тупа глумляться))
empacher...but a special one ;-)
Why are some boats mounted evens to port and odds to starboard, then some are mounted 1, 3, 6, and 8 to port and 2, 4, 5, and 7 to starboard? Does it make a difference? It seems like it would change the points of stress in the shell too.
Peter Sharpless rowers in the middle of the boat have the best position to pull because the middle is deepest in the water so my guess is that diffrent rigging is too put the strongest rowers in the middle
Typically different rigging is due to power differences between ports and starboards, say starboards are weaker than ports, they have more starboard near the outside where they have more control over how the boat turns, and ports in the middle where there is more control over power. As a coxswain is tough if one side is constantly out pulling the other because you have to stay on the rudder, it’s also hard for the rowers because the rudder slows the boat down
Wow... I cant even get a sub 7 2k
Germany won here with a time of 5:48. Canada and USA have the record at 5:19. How is that possible?
+Lockon Stratos wind conditions
Phil Reupe cool
Germany best time is 5:18 and the world record at this time.
Why there were two finals ( 01:44 and 11:21 ) ?
ledepi34 the b final between Poland and Ukraine is for 7-8 place finishes and the a final is for the 1-6 spots
yeah......sure they did
Ragnar Lodbrok approves!
Germany? I did not understand that!
What do you not understand
Yeah, I'm desperately looking for it.
Ball
ok
what make of boat are the germans rowing?
Empachers i thought
1:41 Poland/Ukraine, amazing :o
速すぎʬʬʬʬʬʬ
Poetry in motion
If Canada were on form it would have been there race !
Just TWST shut up
@@dashendy2887 Was musst du eigentlich wieder so ein Negativbeispiel für dein Land sein? Armselig.
Oh right thx :D
A Person who lives in the German city Hamburg is also called "Hamburger"
That was great. Rowing is so hard. I do that in the gym for 10 minutes and I am "finished". Btw: Rowers have sex bodies. I'll take one rower from every boat.
Charlene Brown rowing is not hard! rowing just needs a hell load of training.. ive been doing this since 2 years and im only 13 years old... Well even my test where its a 1k is at 3:45/3:40 so it just needs training and technique:)
Nobody can row when they're just 2 you probably just started walking so stfu
i mean since 11 idiot..
+Shiny Haunter Your only 13, once you get to my age it gets hard
its nice because right now its to easy. if it gets hard its my pleasure
2 seat in US and UK means second from bow. Stroke is nearest the cox, then 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and bow.
what i really like is the special effects behind the olympics!
