this amazes me, those last ten strokes, i can only imagine what pain and oxygen debt they were goin through...im surprised they didnt collapse accross the finish line
Even a 5 second silence? Viewers, even non-rowing viewers, surely can't get bored that quickly. Though, have to say that if most viewers of rowing in the US are non-rowers I want to move there! At least they have taste! Rowing is shown very little on television here in GB, despite it being our most successful sport on the international scene by far.
you're right mate. That feeling at the start of a race should be shared with spectators. Of course its no where near as extreme for spectators! rowing is easily one of the hardest sports.
and the reason why the brits won....was because they had just finished their stroke 3 feet away from the fisnish, thats when the boat is movin the fastest....meanwhile canada was at the catch, where the run slows down......noones fault there, you just need to get lucky and happen to finish your stoke just before the finish
yea, i was just trying to point out that overall luck won at the end of that race and my coach has videos of pinsent in a pair from the late 90's and early 2000's, he fuckin tank
i've watched this so many times and each time I feel the tension of those athletes like I was there...
Took me a while to find this commentary. This one is the best by far!
I was standing on the finish line, it was so damn exciting!
Every race i look at i still get shivers even if im in it or at it or watching it on t v
amazing simply amazing matthew pinsent is a legend i always thought somewhat he was in the shadow of sir steve
and finally good commentry
Excelente disputa! Parabéns aos remadores pela bela exibição e por todos terem concluído a prova!

I feel bad for those Canadians.
To lose out on an olympic gold by less than a quarter of a canvas is heart-breaking.
wonderful!!!
the finest rowing race of all time

Same, I went through Canadian, Australian and German before I got to this one!
Wow👏👏👏

same for me

Does anyone know the names of the commentators?
England? I think you mean Great Britain. Even that should be "United Kingdom"
The brits were faster over the distance. End.
@cobbtothejay Shame, Canada is at the catch.
was Cracknell sitting behind Pinsent?
what is the top speed?
wow nice final, just love the rowing style of the Britts!
More rowing on my channel. ;)
'inches'
I wish commentators wouldn't talk over the start. They always do that. It is such a tense moment it deserves respect and silence.
Been looking for that one myself. She fucked up, it was so funny! Must have been removed.
Cracknell was at 2, Pinsent stroking
fucking right boys thats how we brits do it!!
after cycling
darn 1/4 stroke more from canada and they would get it xD
