It's interesting to see how Bond finishes quite a way away from his body. He doesn't use much with the arms compared to Murray and much more with the body.
@@emmad7123In the pair specifically, if the rowers are perfectly in sync you'd shake the boat a smidge for each stroke. Its more efficient to have stroke have a strong beginning of the stroke and bow have a stronger end of the stroke to keep the power more directly forward.
You can tell that GB's bowman is dying. Look at 7:27, when it flashes to the overhead camera, and how rapidly GB is moving towards the starboard-side buoys. They go from fairly central in the lane to almost on the buoys in about 12 seconds. Notice at the end with the "finish line camera" that GB is actually on the wrong side of their lane marker--the buoys aren't visible from the shore because they're now on the port side of the shell, i.e. GB is in NZ's lane. (Either that, or their steering is abysmal, but I'm banking on the former.)
Rob Clark Yes later on I thought of that..."maybe the GB bowsman came out strong and was maintaining the same pressure at the end, whereas the stroke seat killed the sprint." Definitely a possibility.
Bart Thompson Also, I wonder how much staying straight would have helped their finish and if they could have stayed in silver. Probably not enough, but it makes me wonder.
look at nash after the race, certainly looks like hes done in while satch looked alright. I reckon they sprinted and satch realised he was pulling it round and backed off slightly. Been there plenty myself
First oly's for both the British, with less than a year together, and both not long out of u23's. Quite impressive to even be in the running for a medal in a small boat.
It is obvious this commentator has never called many rowing races. Its seems a shame that they didn't have the normal commentators of the FISA world cup and world champs.
I don't think he's bad. In such a "boring" race with the lead the kiwi's had it's hard to commentate solely on the current standings of the race, since they went pretty much unchanged along the course.
@@elijahdockery8120 one must start and finish in the same lane and should not “leave” one’s lane and interrupt other competitors race. If you look at the GB boat last 250 m (lane 5) you may notice that they are almost on kiwi’s lane. So they could theoretically crash into them Hope i explained it for you ;)
I'll never forget looking at the betting odds for the kiwi pair to win. The TAB in New Zealand was paying out 3 cents on the dollar (1.03) for the win. It was that much of a certainty in peoples minds. Not worth the bet in my opinion as the chance of an oar snapping or catching a crab is great than the 3 cents but still, comically low odds! Well done NZ and everyone else in that final.
I don't know if you can listen french, but i'm very bad in english: on ne s'attendait pas à ce que ce 2- soit médaillé, tout le monde était derrière notre 2x (Cédric Berrest & Julien Bahain), mais ce 2- fut une agréable surprise (et notre seule médaille en aviron !).
5'44 * Au niveau du gabarit ça se discute quand même, je sais pas si tu as eu la chance de voir les championnats d'Allemagne, là-bas ils ont quand même de sacré morceau, bien plus qu'en France en tous cas.
Eric Murray and Hamish Bond, simply another category.

Doesn’t that shorten the stroke though?

Absolute power duo. History in the making
Hamish Bond probably would have won the single sculls - they were that good.

Bart Thompson Either the bowman gave in or George Nash went crazy, he's a stupidly strong rower
Rob Clark Yes later on I thought of that..."maybe the GB bowsman came out strong and was maintaining the same pressure at the end, whereas the stroke seat killed the sprint." Definitely a possibility.
Bart Thompson Also, I wonder how much staying straight would have helped their finish and if they could have stayed in silver. Probably not enough, but it makes me wonder.
Honestly he could have just messed up the steering at that point. When your so tired in a race it can easily happen.
look at nash after the race, certainly looks like hes done in while satch looked alright. I reckon they sprinted and satch realised he was pulling it round and backed off slightly. Been there plenty myself
Nash was utterly gone at the end, just totally exhausted. It's his first olympics though, so a massive performance from him!
I mean if you’re not totally exhausted at the end you’re not doing it fight
Love how the coaches tear along side on their bikes. :)
9:15 how is nash casually rowing with a gold watch aha

Canada's start seemed to be at an amazingly high stroke rate, even compared to the other crews.
Yas Aotearoa. Proud of your win. Keep making our small country proud 🇳🇿
Dominated!. the double skulls was a hearty win for NZ as well
Those boys are a wee bit stronger then me. I'll settle for splashing around Lake Union in slow motion.

What did he do wrong?
@@adamatch9624 We don't need the long history of the people. We don't need to know who is up front. We need to know the why and how.

GB's steering in the last 250 may have cost them silver, dont want to be in the Kiwi's wash
or the buoys
If Kiwis weren’t so far away they would have been disqualified
@@toffeemel2235 I don’t know a lot about rowing, why would they have been disqualified?

Living legends!
how many times did you watch this?
me: Yes
Great stuff Kiwis.
i rowed with them XD most amazing experience
Brits thought they'd pop into the Kiwi's lane at the end. Just to congratulate them easier, you know.

What a record these 2 fashioned
Two guys rowing in symbiosis

Always be wary of French guys
With the wooden oar handles

OK so I was mistaken, I thought the bow died at 1500 ;)
kiwi legends!
Murray and Bond > Pinsent and Cracknell
Wow they dominated like water Flo Jos. Such a gap over the field.
Pourtant dans leurs interviews, le Julien Bahain disait qu'il était à sa forme maximum et qu'ils étaient fin prêt pour les JO

I would pay for this commentator just to shut up
Can't stop thinking about their muscle imbalance...
Are you still thinking about it?
Do you use 2 toothbrushes at once?
People's with the name 'Bond' are always spacial.
Good day🏎️🏎️🏎️
what is gbr doing in newzeelands lane tf ? haha
Idk which one is Murray or bond, but the one in the back looks like hulk hogan
Murray in the back. Beast

Different gravy.

France
Train harder than you race.
