Baillie/Stott Gold - Men's Canoe Double | London 2012 Olympics

[@martinlawson6421]

I love the summer Olympics. Started watching everything I can a year in advance before Tokyo. Didn’t know about this event. Now I’m a big fan. I’m exhausted just watching it. HUGE respect to these athletes.

[@joelhall5124]

Watching again because I won't see it this year. Remember watching this live. Never leapt out of my seat before.

[@stevethomas760]

I had the privilege of competing in C2. My racing partner's son, Jeff Larimer, another slalom bud's son, Eric Heard, raced in this event in London. Unfortunately, they didn't make the finals. Very proud of the them for carrying all of our Olympic dreams to the Games. To me it's a premier event.

[@estevanflores3432]

I didn't even know this was an event

Welcome to the olympics. We also have the 50k walk.

[@mainHERO88]

Same here and it's weird because for how unknown it is, it looks like something that would have been really expensive for the Olympic committee to set up. I would imagine it would be really expensive to build that river and keep that water flowing.

[@morgan5130]

Watching the 2020 Olympics made me feel dumb for not realizing that this, archery, and ping pong tennis were all official Olympic sports. I will say they are now my favorite events, though :)

[@joelhall5124]

Back again waiting for the 25th in Tokyo. I still remember being on the edge of my seat for this whole event.

[@odonata9838]

This looks like the most grueling Olympic event, to me. My muscles feel sore just watching it!!!

[@amytopping6016]

agreed I've had ago before and I was in so much pain !!!!

[@TheNeonMushrooms]

if you are broadcasting for your OWN country, you are allowed to show bias cause no other countries will get the commentary, so going 'come on Great Britain' is fine if no other countries hear the commentary

[@labaurazak7078]

never get bored Watching this final. incredible host.

[@FUNFAIRRIDES360]

One of the most thrilling sports in the olympics

• As vezes meio chato isso...

[@_JC_Denton_]

Can't blame the casters for being a little biased, as we say in France "don't turn your back on your enjoyment" i watched it live back then was so disappointed for Klauss/Péché, but seeing both brits boats enjoying themselves gave me a smile, they totally deserved it! Bravo !

[@reet-ko9lg]

What a fantastic performance from the British pairs! To open and close with such admirable efforts!

[@TheAcfallejoseph]

Amazing skills that I did not know existed. Fantastic

[@ToRiHale]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@UneCleUSB]

I was at the stadium, one of the best moments of my life was when the Slovakians got that penalty. The roar didn't sound big but from my stand it was so loud it was funny that we were cheering so hard at other peoples expense!

[@amytopping6016]

omg what stand where you in I was there aswell !!!!

[@TheNeonMushrooms]

but the commentators didn't know that, they thought it was just for GB, they didn't know it was going on the Olympic youtube channe

[@mercifulzeus01]

The IOC archive often doesn't have any commentary - look at most of the Rio and Tokyo replays. They had a lot for 2012, but for some events they took other feeds such as this one from the BBC (Paul Dickenson and Helen Reeves). So obviously there's a bit of GB bias. At least they don't do what Eurosport do, just add a new commentary to an archive piece and pretend the commentator was there at the time...

[@Billybillybillyrocking]

This is sick

[@matthew9805]

To say they have an arm pump would be an understatement.

[@manofallsorts6022]

I didn't know if Team USA Canoe Double was never won the Olympic medal.

[@J.OlímpicosRiodeJaneiro-2016]

Sim deve ter conquistado

[@LaurenOrion]

I don't really know what a penalty means....... please someone explain ?

[@theochasid8996]

Lauren 5 years later, if you're still interested a penalty is if they miss a goalposts or hit the posts, then they get time added to their score.

[@Sea_bear_42]

KZbin time travel

[@DJMaximiliaan]

I think you get a penalty when you hit a bar, If you get a penalty that will count +2 sec by your finish time

[@dannybro147]

(USA): And THAT's what's up. :P

[@michaelcelia6505]

But this wasn't just broadcast in Britain. This commentary is on the IOC's official youtube channel and therefore is being broadcast all over the world.

[@manoj_aryal_]

✌️✌️

[@michaelcelia6505]

"We were hoping that Great Britain would win a medal." Tsk, tsk...he just broke the #1 cardinal rule of sports broadcasting - don't show bias. And people say American broadcasters are biased...

[@mikdavies5027]

Wot! no Americans? Oh dear!

[@michaelcelia6505]

That's very unsportsmanlike lol Though I agree it's kinda hard not to root for other athletes' mistakes...
