Fantastic series! Thank you for making the series, it was a great insight into how these athletes prepare for a life defining moment. I was surprised at how relaxed and down-to-earth they are. So proud of what they achieved. Thank you

Very glad you've enjoyed the series. Ahead of the Games, you never really know how GB Rowing Team will shape up, but we were delighted and proud they've done so well (4 gold, 2 silver, 3 bronze). And the three crews we focused on all made the podium at Eton Dorney. As you say, 'really inspirational'.

Started rowing about a month ago. I love it more than anything I've ever done before.
Really proud of Team GB at the 2012 Olympics, especially the rowers. Thanks for this series, it is really inspirational. Makes me want to train hard to get to 2016 Olympics in Rio, If that's even possible as a new-comer! haha

Outstanding series! Massively motivational to a newcomer to rowing (aged 39!!)

[@THESQUAD2012]

Thanks for the kinds words. Much appreciated. Talking and listening to these guys has certainly given us a great insight into the sport, and the enormous hard work/sacrifice demanded by Olympic rowers of all nations.

great and very under appreciated series, i really wish that your videos would reach out to other people as well, im from america and i found this very inspiring. Good luck in the Finals!

Please make some more videos or another series on the lead up to the next Olympics

[@THESQUAD2012]

Thanks adamthelad. They are a remarkable group of individuals, brilliantly managed by David Tanner and his coaching team. (I hope that comes across in the series). It'll be fascinating to see what the 2013 crews will look like. Will the pair remain the number 3 boat, or is there an awesome combination out there waiting to be uncovered?
