I'd never watched rowing before, im remember watching this live at the time and bursting into tears when gb got over the line. Was truly amazing and absolutely brilliant commentary.

I remember watching this in a pub very late in the UK and everyone crowding around the old TV set shouting and willing GB to a famous victory.

I'm British but was living in New Zealand when the Sydney Olympics was on. Normally a very calm, quiet man, but the second half of this race was the one and only time I have ever got up out of my seat, screaming at the telly! Epic race. So proud of the GB crew - especially Tim Foster, from my old rowing club in Bedford, and Steve Redgrave, my rowing hero!

One of THE most emotional and spectacular sporting achievements ever - along with fantastic commentary I remember watching it live in 2000 with tears in my eyes, and 24 years on - it still makes me cry Totally amazing 👍🏼

Such brilliant commentary

The Italians are coming!!! All about the commentary

Rowers are the toughest guys in the world hats off to all of them

Thanks for this. Great commentary as well.

Never tire of watching this!

These videos are awesome. Thanks so much.

Put that on a par with Waterloo and Trafalgar, mesmerising!

Amazing to watch this after watching ‘Goldfever’. You really are awarded if you sacrifice your utmost for your sport.

I watched this live in Crete (Malia) at about 1am or 2am Greek time. Those were the days

One the greatest races ever

Do you have any coverage of the Olympic Beijing semi finals?
