How can they interview these athletes immediately after a race. Did the interviewers ever hop on a rower. I would probably bite in that damn microphone

[@manzarkhurshid8805]

Congratulations to the winners.. Very well organised championship..

I cannot wait to get my own Concept 2 rowing machine later this year.

[@charalampe]

Awesome!

[@AN-zk8yv]

They choose the drag factor as they want? Or is kt fixed ? When i row on the technogym aquafeel i prefer numer 10 to get me in the 1:40. When i reduce to 4 i can just barley make the 1:50. Even is it lighter to row

[@2011hwalker]

They choose what they want. Fastest time wins-do it however you want. Concept 2 drag factors are more consistently calibrated than the other manufacturers.

[@FisicoKart1]

What is the drag factor used?

[@fiber_king2334]

I don't think it matters outside of maybe slower start for harder drag.

[@westofcharlie]

Sorry I am a newbie, but what resistance are they pulling at?

[@TGC32]

Look up "Drag Factor"

[@westofcharlie]

I just did 1:35 at my local gym completely cold. I can't believe how weak some of the female times are. Had no idea my leisurely row the other day would have been a female world record LOL

You need to be tall to get a great time

[@Hi-kq5rx]

No u don’t

[@thomasmuller623]

Not nescessarily, but it is a big advantage.

[@corbot8817]

Most of the women's times are really bad. several in the 1:50's and one over 2. That's my warm up/distance pace, and I'm NOT a rower.

Thats not very nice

Did anyone ask tho? It doesn’t matter what they pulled-they qualified for the world champs

Is swimming better than rowing?

[@sidhayes6168]

no

[@DogmaFight]

If you're swimming it's because you fell out of the boat

[@jeanmarieholzmann2068]

Yes, when you swim faster than 24 km per hour..😊

[@stevet2235]

I got this rower.... tall is a big advantage... that why all winner are very tall... 6.5 for woman and 6.9 for men... you cant trust those world record.... even if you row like a psycho youre range of motion will not be enough compare with tall person . Real condition in water will show us true record.
