@@czvzgzu7765 That guy is not even close to a lightweight. Plus no lightweight has a 2k even close to 5:38. The best lightweight 2k to my knowledge like high 5:50s I think and only one lightweight has gone sub 6.
@@principle6261 At least 3 lightweights have gone sub 6 - Stephansen, Azou, and one other (I forget, but I think it was recent-ish?). There are also rumors that some have broken it in the run-up to Olympics but it was never published, because a lot of natl. teams are secretive about scores. EDIT: It was O'Donovan in 2024 (Irish Ltwt 2x)
He’s only good on the erg because he’s physically strong. Hamish Bond, Tom George, James Cracknell are still much better than him both on the erg and on water
Oh and those guys are not physically strong? If Ward was only strong he would never start out with a 6'16 to pull a 6 2k a week later. He obviously has great conditioning. What do you have....great ignorance and jealousy?
@TrueFilter @elbrunosh @koningvanmiddleburg but can you understand why it would be annoying for something that had previously been used as a pre-kick-off to the new season of on water rowing competition be side showed by a corporate " influencer " turning it into a dumber version of an arm wrestling competition ? maybe you all are ignorant and jealous of a larger ecosystem of sport comradery and personal realization that this is a part of , and wards antics on the metal plate don't even approach .
He's unstoppable on the rowing machine. What do you think is Ward's secret to success?
How can you stop someone who is already stationary?
Well probably mostly his genetics :D
That laugh 😂
He's happy and loves what he does (and you have to love 2k becuase it's horrid)
How can someone who is that nice/laid back be such a beast on the ERG?!
This guy gets all his demons out on the erg. His days are pure bliss because he puts himself in true hell on that machine.
those who have the most peace outside of their event, recover way better and as such, perform far better too
How to be successful in what your passionate , never be too serious in life. This guy is so chill, it's contagious!
chill dude and wonderful sportsmanship
What an awesome human being this Ward seems. I wish him all the best for the future. Well done on your success so far.
"I'm ready to enjoy the pain and competition" beast
God must’ve said, “Let’s check all the boxes on this one, and sprinkle in an extra pinch of goofiness for good measure!”😂
that really is insane how he was so fast first time
I didn't even know indoor rowing was a thing until now..
Goed bezig Ward! Keep it up!!
Another level..insane!!
His speaking voice is deep , but his laughter is a soprano operetta.
Top bloke🎉
2k 5:38/580w cuz ya start at the first day@6:16/421w lol
He is so impressive - his first ever row, he beat my lifetime PR by over half a minute! And getting sub 5:45 is just next level power 💪 Amazing 🤩
His voice is lower than my 2k splits
Zeidler? Van Dorp?
He is A lightweight i think

Jürgen Klopp has two great sons
Love the flemish english
LMAO watch girly series. this guy is awesome!!!!!!
how tall is his brother? makes Ward look tiny. get that lad in the gym
210cm, almost 6’11 he shouldve played basketball
'Can he beat Eric Murray?'
on a 2k test yes, but not on that brutal 1h test that Murray pulled
D D D DOPER ! classic dutch !! lol
Justin who ….
Seriously.
Keep those elbows up at the finish Ward!
Just clicked to drop a quick comment. I thought this was Logan Paul from the thumbnail. Ok, bye
