Shocking brushing over of Holmes' contribution. A true pioneering legend of British rowing who has been airbrushed out of history. Shows you what power Redgrave has.
Thats why he is a Sir
Or indeed any word from Adrian Ellison.
1984 was an excellent year for 🇬🇧. Torvill & Dean in Sarajevo. And then Redgrave & Co, Sanderson, Thompson and Coe in LA.
Cool to see Spracklen talk about one of his earlier crews.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Do your victories define your life, or does your life define your victories?
+Adrian Ellison You're in danger here of sounding a bit like a certain (other) commentator / cox with his "If not now then who? If not you then when?" call to the Searle brothers! ;-)
+RowCoaching It may not have been meant to be, but I'll take that as a compliment!
+Adrian Ellison It was a fantastic victory. Congratulations and thanks for commenting. Hope this brought back this incredible moment to life. :)
awesome video. Redgrave is the man.
Cassie Creech he’s not the man, he’s the legend
Lol one of those rowers is my history teacher
Rayyaan which one 😂😂
It has to be Richard Budget because he has a doctorate in history and Martin Cross and Sir Steve Redgrave both do other things to do with rowing still
Could be Martin Cross, he is / was a teacher at Hampton School, taught many great rowers!
@@joshuaacton3840 Absobloodylutely
Mike Spracklen has such a distinctive voice. I'd recognise it without seeing him.
Anyone who sees this video Martin cross is my history teacher
Had him about 5 years ago! Doesn't feel that long ago, his classes were... memorable....
Cool video except that the Olympics misspelled mr spracklens name
+Charlie Kwitchoff Thanks for the comment. We apologise for the misspell and have now fixed it in the description, unfortunately we can't fix it in the video itself without re-uploading.
I love rowing❤
Where is Olivia jade and Bella On this huge story about a rowing?
Cool!
Gorillas in the mist! A great shame that there is no word about Andy Holmes, or from Adrian Ellison.
🇭🇷🎉 gold medal 2016 , 2021, 2024
I don't know about giving a gold to the "bow position" guy. He is like a coach on the boat in a sense.
I think you're referring to the cox? And of course the cox should get a medal
+Baldó Buczi Idiot
+Baldó Buczi Uh if it helps you know what the "bow position guy" does, the next video is Mary Whipple explaining her role as a coxswain ;)
+Baldó Buczi you mean stern
without a cox it would be infinetly harder to steer the boat and row due to the lack of motivation and without distance gauges you cannot have a race plan because you dont know where you are on the track.
