Een geweldige race van the Holland 8

This is still one of my favourite rowing videos ever

Geweldig🤗

Het blijft eens van de mooiste races ooit gezien

Australia won the gold 4 years later in Sydney?

Great memories from these Olympic Games!

Handrew👍👏👏

Some off the best blade work you will see

Rest in peace Roland Baar.

"MOVE THE FUCK!"

Jammer dat de beeldkwaliteit zo kut is.

240p we meet again...

Love it when the guy conforms to borats desire to call a hipopotums a pig. 1:17

Can we appreciate Pink empachers

The pig and hippo part was hilarious haha.

can't believe it's nearly 20 yrs old. Man I'm getting old fast 😢

Comon the bucks! Motherfff... Mother bucks! Morthe fuck! Comon the fucking bucks!

0:33 he goes Ali G, 'westside'.

pig in the boat didn,tknow mohammid could row

I'm french and i'm looking for the "uniforme" (i'm sorry i dont know the translation of "combinaison" in English) of holland, van someone help me?

Harley Hanes - Harley, no. It isn't hard at all. It is a preferred method of launching from docks that are positioned parallel to the shore. It's actually kind of fun. You balance, keeping most of your weight on your outside foot so the boat does not tip back and slap the oars on the dock. When the blades clear the dock, you sit down, as these kids did, and tie in on the water.

the music in beginning was Albanian song singed by Ilir shaqiri.

Come on the bucks! Mother fucks!

Are you a man who does it with another man?

It's a repainted Empacher and the German men actually rowed it at the Olympics when the Telekom was still their sponsor. You can row it now as one of the clubs where the German eight trains owns it and now uses it for practice and other races. :)

0:17 He's doing Borat, but his hands are doing Ali G

Well, I didn't see you specify any of those points, but if you really were insinuating something completely alien to your original comment, then my apologies.

David Goldstrom. Still a commentator for FISA's video stream.

"well behaved, properly dressed and care about maintaining traditional standards". Listen to yourself. You sound like my granddad. These people are relics - they are the leftovers of Britain's colonial history. Cohen's just showing them up to be the out-of-touch museum pieces they are.

Getting defensive and referring to the "Stewards Enclosure at Henley"... You sound like you'd fit right in with the muppets in this video

Kazakhstan isn't in Eastern Europe. The more you know. Besides, the fact that he's half Israeli, half British has nothing to do with his humourous abilities. Also, being a rower my self, I found this skit particularly amusing - the men he talked to are so cut off from reality that they make a perfect comedic target. Though I'm generalising, please don't do the same if you have no first hand experience. The people that his work exploit tend to deserve the business end of his hilarious creativity.

guys are CRAZZZY

*just

ahahahaha, i was noticed this

"it have a pig in the boat?" he is a great troll, i miss these old borat skits, they were far better than recent stuff

"Pick your best eight, not your eight best" - Marc De Rond

Brits always fuck good parody by shoving a laugh track into it!

Hanging from the skeleton and simply rowing away. I know it is not simple but it looks effortlessly.

Duff stroke by GB bow man at 7:06 - missed the water!

I'm no elite coach or anything but how do guys match up then? Are all the guys in your boat of the same height? Because the difference between two men who are 5'10 and 6'3 is the same difference between two men who are 6'2 and 6'7...both 5 inch difference. And for the latter, both are over 6'0...what's his reasoning there?

unity due to pace? he obviously doesn't really know much about unity to pace if he thinks all the guys of the same height will make a more rhythmic boat...there are crews with people of all sizes. seriously, the CAN and GB M8+ this year in london had guys as tall as 6'8 and guys as "small" as 6'1...how did they keep pace? they found rhythm in another aspect/ part of the stroke

"The Great Eight", very impressive, the symmetry is unbelievable

i asked because my college team restricted rowers to be 6' or taller. the coach stated he wanted unity due to pace.

no, but you might want to err on the side of being a lightweight. however, regardless of the weight categories, height does help in this sport as leverage is a key component moving a boat. that aside, think spudd webb for the NBA and you don't NEED to be tall to be a rower, it helps but what you MUST have are heart, drive, dedication and mental toughness to do the work that is necessary to be successful.

is it true that you need to be at least 6' tall to be a rower? I have been told I was too short to row. I am 5'11"

what are the names of tv presenters? one is Dan Topolski former rower, who is the other guy ?? thanks

dat kan ik me voorstellen. Ik was jaren lang fan van Michiel Bartman. En laten we eerlijk zijn het was een perfecte race.

I was a member at Willem III Amsterdam a few years ago, after a year of nagging, crying and begging they let us row the boat... once still a mighty ship

cant believe I had the opportunity to touch the Dutch 8, last year. believe it or not , as i touched the bow ball,I imagined it crossing the finish line ahead of everyone! needless to say I got goose bumps!
