It's nteresting that they pause briefly at the finish while rowing at slower stroke rates, but then drop the pause and move to a continuous stroke when they move into race pace.
Not a pause. The handle never stops moving. Its a careful change of direction of the handle allowing everyone to quietly sync up the movement of the body mass out of the boys which creates free speed (Newtons 3rd law). Initially a couple of them did actually stop the handle at the finish, but we all agreed that since the water flows continuously, and the boat does likewise, we, as rowers should keep moving too.
@@tonyoconnor8690 Thanks for the clarification. I'm relatively new to the sport, and my coaches and teammates have never used that careful change at the finish.
@@MisterJeffy All good! I reckon (just my opinion) that whatever we are doing in the boat we should be careful. We all like to work hard when rowing, but we need to ensure all that good work does not upset the ability of the boat to glide as it was designed.
@renaissanceman8581 hahaha wtf 😂 what's happening now is what makes the boat go fastest 😂 if you think an overly exentuated back splash is better then you're just a muppet
@@AxelPRC show me the faster times! With all this technology and advances in training topped off with these missed catches, sorry! Awesome new technique, should see all these new fast times. I’ll wait, chode!
@renaissanceman8581 what in the hell are you talking about? The world records are consistently getting broken 😂 high school crews go as fast as elite crews from the 80's 😂
Awesome performance by the crew. Was a brilliant final to watch. Well done to the whole team!
How many of these Olympic gold medalist have been told about Harry Mahon?
They are all well aware of Harry the genius!
Rakebiwa!!

The boat is making noise
It’s a shame the catch has been removed from the sport.
What on earth are you in about?😂
@@Anthony-zl9ww well, “I’m in about” when backsplash was an actual thing. Now just a bunch of chopping at the catch. IYKYK.
