@henrylant7049 7 ай бұрын

I always come back to this video. There are lots of sports where you won't see the same level of determination that these guys showed. Group effort - totally emptied the gas tank when they had expended all of their remaining fuel. Epic dogfight to the very end, the Canadians should not be overlooked, they were the most miniscule length away from gold.

@paintball254 Bravo for being a good sport Mr Paintball254 and expressing international unity! I understand what you mean, but as Mr SRALtwt4Seat said, commentators rightly honour their country of origin. Also, perhaps it's the same in Canada and the U.S., but here in the UK the commentators are all ex oarsmen themselves, so you can expect some of those old feelings of rivalry and reverence for other specific countries to come through in what they say. It's not such a big deal really.

@CoDWiiPS3Gameplay 8 жыл бұрын

Now that is more difficult. Certainly, this was a much better race than 2000, the GB boat then had the lead all the way from start to finish, so not very exciting in that regard. However, the circumstances surrounding Redgrave going for his 5th gold make it so much more important. I still think this race is more epic since Pinsent also had gold medal #4 on the line.

@timvillabona6205 6 жыл бұрын

the end of the 2000 race was still a nailbiter though. italy was gaining on them with every stroke in the last 100 (watch the last 10 strokes of the race); if they had another 20m italy probably would have edged ahead (not to discredit GB at all of course, amazing performance)

@jamescasey4674 6 жыл бұрын

Tim Villabona but they didn't have another 20m They both trained for 2000m. If the race was 2020m great Britain would of trained for that and still won.

@petrospetrosghali 12 жыл бұрын

Something I never noticed before.. in the closing 250m, the Canadian in the 3 seat is out of sync with Barney Williams at stroke, beating him up the slide and taking his crewmates at 2 and bow with him. His shins also go past the vertical at front-stops, unlike the rest of the crew. Obviously the crew as a whole was still pretty darn fast despite this. But could they have been faster?

@oneworldfamily Just spotted this comment again (Yes, I do come back to watch this video that often. It's one of my favorite recorded racesof all time.) after some time. Canada, USA, Australia, and Britian are four of the biggest forces in rowing and over the course of the last several Olympics they have done the best in the sweeping events, but lots of other countries get recgoniztion for sculling events, such as France in this video which I highly reccomend you watch /watch?v=a3b8eZyVPdA

@paintball254 Every country is going to have biase for their country. Would you be happy if (I am not sure if you're American or not, but I will assume you are for right now.) a US announcer paid little to no attention to the US simply because they were focusing on the MANY other nations? No. The country is going to support their athletes. That's just how it is.
