Some of the best sports commentary ever!

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 👍🏼

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!

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.

The Italians are coming!!! All about the commentary

Such brilliant commentary

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.

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

Why on earth are these two especially Gary Herbert not commentating for Paris 2024 after doing every Olympics since 96 It’s especially brilliant listening to Herbert going mental when our boys / girls are doing well - however biased it may be

Thank you for posting Gary & Dan's version!

Thanks for this, good memories of my rowing days. Amazing race, that was some 4.

Thanks for this. Great commentary as well.

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

One the greatest races ever

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

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

Never tire of watching this!

These videos are awesome. Thanks so much.

the great four! ... but only they know the price

la mejor regata del universo

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

I would recommend everyone to watch the Italian commentary of this race from Galeazzi. Pure emotions.

Hard to see but I do think there were more British flags in the crowd than Australian.

que regataa

Who is the commentator? Don’t hear him on the coverage any more

OARsome

the italians were not dead straight in the end that cost em

Ils sont 6 la final, rasistilor vous4

I remember this race perfectly, one of the most spectacular and emotionally races of all time. As italian very well done to Gb and Italy teams. I lost 4 pints as a bet with my english colleague, but it was worth it. After few months I saw very close Steve Redgrave as I was working in a private school in High Wycombe, You could see how he was a perfect athlete.
