Hats of to the Danish team, it was so intense that I was jumping off my seat, more than the GB ! I am no history expert, but weren`t Scandinavian Vikings excellent in rowing, legendary, that is ? They have it in their blood, it is genetics ! Sailing, building the best boats and ships...It may have something to do with this excellent and clever performance, or I might be badly mistaking - no offense to anyone...
I think the rule which make restart the race is totally absurd : at this level, they got to check hours during the boat, the settings, the oars. So breaking stuff is unacceptable. Cheating or not, this rule must be deleted. And I'm so sad about jeremie and stany who headed the race at the first start !
I dunno about international rules, but for school's racing on New Zealand, if you have an equipment failure in the first 250m the race restarts, but not after that
Go to a rowing club, or try to find someone that knows about the sport because it needs way more technic than some oser sports like cycling or walking would need
It's not uncommon for very experienced rowers to have small habits that are very difficult for them to correct because they have been doing them for years. That and different countries have different styles, it could be either or both.
I'm not exactly the biggest expert in rowing technique and I'm far from questioning an olympic gold medalist, but isn't the Danish stroke flexing his shoulders more than he should? Shouldn't your shoulders be relaxed?
he's ( relatively ) short so I suspect uses power and strength a bit more than just pure leverage...regardless it's clear he's giving everything at the finish and it worked out well ( as sad as I was to see Purchase and Hunter lose that race )
GB lost that for themselves. Some horrible rowing from what is typically thought to be a good technical crew. Even in the first start where their seat "broke" (didn't actually break just fell of his seat) they looked horrible and way off their game
I'm happy that the danish won, since the start of the GB would not even have permitted them a silver medal, and maybe that's a bit the reason that the seat "broke" ;-)
England the specialist of restart (when in the rules for final is (no restart) in Rowing and cycling track...for exemple... and finaly win after that. For the rowing the french team was very well and take a large advance with another team, but english broke something.... repear like Mac Gyver....and..... restart... LOL For the final of track cycling SAME... Bad Start in final (Again versus french who had a very good start... and english ask a restart... and win... 2 time in OG games it's juste fantastic isnt it.. ?!! The rules are the rules but money and lobbying is the rule.
You can say that again! England...the worst criminals against humanity that have ever existed. They have raided and robbed hundreds of billions in precious metals, etc. for centuries. They are responsible for the biggest genocide in human history, over 100 million native Americans (the so-called Indians). During the Ottoman Turk slavery, England was... an ally to the Turks who killed and raped pregnant women daily, decapitating children for fun, and the English were fighting the Russian Christian army, who actually liberated Eastern Europe. AND THE BANKSTERS STILL MOAN ABOUT THE SO-CALLED JEWISH GENOCIDE, LMAO!!! Wow...some Christian the British are...God does not forget anything. I do not know for Brexit, but fingers crossed those wussies will get the total pwnage they deserve.
The british absolutely deserved their loss. All the opponents had 10 extra strokes, it was not fair at all. Anyway, it's their responsibility to show up with proper, tested equipment in an olympic final. There was no real reason to stop the competition, it's only positive discrimination due to their home nation. Well done Denmark!
Absolute absurde and biased "restart" rules interpretations and it wasn't the first time in these olympics, and each time (don't look for any hasard) it was in favor of Team GB: Cycling, rowing, diving... they miss their start, they've e got a restart. hometown rules
The rule which makes restarts possible is totally unacceptable, its literally cheating. Also, when you are rowing at this level, in these boats, on these waters, its has to be made inevitable and its unacceptable for boats/materials to break. Of course, a boat can break, but at the olympics, the seats, oars, everything should be constantly checked hours before the race. Also, in my five years of rowing i have never broke a seat, not while training, let alone racing. So, what are the chances that the seat of an olympic (!!!) boat actually breaks during one of the most important races, at, dare i say, quite a good time for GB?
What a win!!! Goosebumps 🇩🇰
Please fix the sound. It's so out of sinc
No it is not.
@@WickedG5150 yes it is. look at the start at 38:45
@@WickedG5150 Are you silly?
How about that colossal battle between India and Eqypt in the D final
That was actually pretty great.

You're correct. Idk if its in the blood but the Danes used to raid, settle and conquer parts of the UK in the viking age :)

You never know what can happen, I’ve had a seat shoot off in the middle of a race as well. It’s a good, smart, and safe rule
@@adamron8686 The rule was removed after this regatta

A bit harsh. It is an Olympic Final.
38:45 Best OL A final in the last 10 years !
..was it because your country won the gold?? ..I dnt think you would still think the same if team GBR or team NZL won it .
Sandeep bhai .... Incredible achievement!!!!
No pain no gain, amazing denmark.
EXCELENTE FINAL.
Commentating away, obviously not watching the video or He'd have spotted a boat stopping and said something, especially as it was the GB boat.
Stroke seat in Italian 2x can’t seem to keep his head in the boat
Shards & Nateo ikr?! It annoys me, but they did amazing nonetheless
Where can i find appropriate workouts for this sports? Any help would be appreciated!
Concept 2 website is a good place to start.

justabike Yeah you are absolutely right, but hey, a technique that isn't that good but still winning the Olympics... Isn't that even better?😉

FIxt00l that was quite dramatic ngl
You're allowed a restart if the fault occurs in the first 100 metres. Educate yourself you facist bigot.
Karbon gold,⛹️⛹️⛹️

those 10 extra strokes would have made no difference to the results. They had a lot of time to rest after when GB were fixing their slide/seat.

How fast can they go???
Or not...
Well, when you're going as hard as them, and using all your strength, things will be flexing haha
Cross-Headwind conditions?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Mark was slowing the slowing the double, he wasnt even close as fit as zac
Idk gb team just can do tf they want, like in 2020 olympics in 4- final where i dont remember being given any penalty
how are you in the olympics going 7:08 in a light double smh
oooomblah it looks like a pretty strong headwind
spoken like a true erg'er
The British cheaters that rested more almost pulled this off
on the recovery it looks like the seat gave up
26:47 PORTUGAL !!!!! MENDES E FRAGA !!!!
aliiiiiooo masre
cwor, talk about england coming off the RAILS a but there...it was so tense i nearly had a STROKE! they were really RIGGERously pulling there...
Yep, second in the world, must've been mighty unfit.
Because India is not the greatest in rowing...
