When it comes to the men's double, no matter the weight class, and even after all these years, the bladework of the Gier brothers is a cut above the rest. Though Hardy and Vieilledent from France and the Sinkovic brothers from Croatia do come close.
I believe the race at the beginning of the video is a replay of a semi where the well-regarded Italians didn't get through to the light 2x A final. @xeno it was a great weekend for Swiss rowing! All time greatest, really.

Michael and Markus I knew them well :-)

Was this ingural lightweight rowing race?
The Swedish rowers seem to be the youngest in the field here?
The lightweight Swiss 2x beat the winner of the heavy 2x from the race before them by 3 seconds. hahaha
