The Road to Tokyo - Episode 1 - Altitude and Attitude

[@edfawssett4140]

This is far and away the best film I have seen from British Rowing. The pain and hope, despair and triumph of the athlete's stories make it unexpectedly emotional. That drone shot of the, hugely likeable, Rebecca Edwards lifting the tractor tyre in Part 2 will stay with me for a long time. Just going from the credits, Adam Heayberd and Craig Murdoch deserve recognition for excellent photography and production values - as does the whole team, British Rowing members included.

Love the 2k test footage. Made my HR fear spike.

fr I start breathing faster just watching 2ks

[@raymondlinares8307]

Seeing the 2k erg test sequence gave me flashbacks to my JV crew days in high school. That year I rowed faster every 2k I rowed... It became so mental not wanting to row a slower time... Often I'd finish and lean over and throw up... Ended at 7:04 my fastest row that season. Seeing these guys prep with much bigger stakes made me appreciate it viscerally

Every long row this is my no1 watch ❤❤❤

Cam that was a brilliant performance and outcome. I have been watching you since 2019 and today is a huge improvement. I don't know much about the British rowing selection system but in general, the eyes are upon you. You know, hopefully it means some funding for you. As an ex-international and a person who's gone through selections in the past in my home country, I know how hard it is. I think your internal focus is the best for any best performance. A piece of advice. Think of it this way. What is rowing? What makes the boat go faster? Three things power length and stroke rate. It's your ability to squeeze more speed out of those three things. You rowed it at 35 36 strokes per minute the entire way. Think about efficiencies 5K is a long way. And yes you faded during the piece so ask yourself what you were doing right in the first half versus the second half. That would be my takeaway. Cheers and good luck!

[@solome6478]

the music adds so much gravity to the video. love it!

[@unclegeemus]

thought the same thing.

[@christophfruhwirt6989]

Hello, first i wanna tell you, that the video is really nice and cant wait to see full series :) i have a question; at minute 07:20-07:30 there is a rower with safety supports on the side, what is it called and where can i find it to buy, or is it custom made? Sincerly chris

[@boronguy]

They are floaters for balance, it's for paralympic rowing. It's not adviced to use them unless you are disabled

[@user-hs3dg8jy3t]

@@boronguy or if you are a complete beginner

[@unclegeemus]

Best rowing vid ever seen, from a late eighties (no not age) major west U.S. coast college 3rd boat rower seeking to make sense of why it continues to be so important to me and how I need to get off my royal ass and start again. I bought an old water rower a month ago. Water smells but ha who cares eh?

[@heinkle1]

Fascinating so much effort went into the training only for 6 4th place finishes

[@Mdgfievf]

What do you mean the women's 4 there's no stand out crew..... the Australians and Netherlands have been clearly infront of the field by a mile!

Why do some bring the handle up high onto the chest? I thought it was to the bottom the chest?

[@josephazizeh1874]

It is not something that would go well in the boat. However, on an erg, you can squeeze a little bit of extra length that way. Since the athletes are judged based on erg scores, they do everything they can to secure the smallest of advantages. Drawing the handle high is one of those small tweaks.

sorry

Great work, beautiful film I'm still for France though

We miss Jurgen Grobler. Come back all is forgiven.

Its chewsday innit??

[@NobodyExpectsIE]

Shame GB Rowing are brutal these games

[@unclegeemus]

Seat racing where I went to school wasn't a public thing rowers would know (I would have killed myself), only the fog and cigarette smoke of the coach were privy.

[@JoseFlores-rz7sn]

kinda shit do all this production and lose in tokyo

[@alexjames1523]

Yeah the videography is great but this documentary is utterly unintelligible in all other respects
