Took me a while to find this commentary. This one is the best by far!

i've watched this so many times and each time I feel the tension of those athletes like I was there...

I was standing on the finish line, it was so damn exciting!

Every race i look at i still get shivers even if im in it or at it or watching it on t v

amazing simply amazing matthew pinsent is a legend i always thought somewhat he was in the shadow of sir steve and finally good commentry

Excelente disputa! Parabéns aos remadores pela bela exibição e por todos terem concluído a prova!

Even a 5 second silence? Viewers, even non-rowing viewers, surely can't get bored that quickly. Though, have to say that if most viewers of rowing in the US are non-rowers I want to move there! At least they have taste! Rowing is shown very little on television here in GB, despite it being our most successful sport on the international scene by far.

this amazes me, those last ten strokes, i can only imagine what pain and oxygen debt they were goin through...im surprised they didnt collapse accross the finish line

I feel bad for those Canadians. To lose out on an olympic gold by less than a quarter of a canvas is heart-breaking.

Same, I went through Canadian, Australian and German before I got to this one!

the finest rowing race of all time

you're right mate. That feeling at the start of a race should be shared with spectators. Of course its no where near as extreme for spectators! rowing is easily one of the hardest sports.

wonderful!!!

Wow👏👏👏

The brits were faster over the distance. End.

and the reason why the brits won....was because they had just finished their stroke 3 feet away from the fisnish, thats when the boat is movin the fastest....meanwhile canada was at the catch, where the run slows down......noones fault there, you just need to get lucky and happen to finish your stoke just before the finish

wow i bet there was so much pain here !!!

same for me

England? I think you mean Great Britain. Even that should be "United Kingdom"

yea, i was just trying to point out that overall luck won at the end of that race and my coach has videos of pinsent in a pair from the late 90's and early 2000's, he fuckin tank

oh yeah great britain =)

Does anyone know the names of the commentators?

@cobbtothejay Shame, Canada is at the catch.

wow nice final, just love the rowing style of the Britts! More rowing on my channel. ;)

was Cracknell sitting behind Pinsent?

'inches'

what is the top speed?

I wish commentators wouldn't talk over the start. They always do that. It is such a tense moment it deserves respect and silence.

Been looking for that one myself. She fucked up, it was so funny! Must have been removed.

fucking right boys thats how we brits do it!!

Cracknell was at 2, Pinsent stroking

after cycling

darn 1/4 stroke more from canada and they would get it xD
