Such an awesome lake to row on. Conditions could get challenging at times but was stunning all the same.

[@hugog2760]

you absolute legend. what's your 2k?

[@murdershe......7378]

A great 8 by Team GB. What an amazing record-breaking Olympics this was for Britain. 2nd in the medal table, I already loved Brasil and this has given me even more reasons to love Brasil. I thought they were wonderful hosts and such lovely warm and friendly people.

[@johnjames661]

I rowed the 8 in college and it was both brutal and sublime.

[@luizpaulo7008]

I miss this moment... I worked as a vollunteer in Olimpics Games this year... I met a lot of people and It was a unique oportunity... I loved it! I was there in this moment... and now, I like rowing!

lucky, I signed up to be a campaign volunteer and eventually a Olympic games volunteer for Boston 2024 sadly we gave it up.

Have you seen how they let it? That's why you don't let 3rd world countries host the Olympics. I don't have anything against Brazil, but they just don't have the economy to host the Olympics, or the needs to use the facilities after it.

[@thomassmith6481]

"Don't have the economy" what do you mean? They have the world's eight largest economy...

[@pelhamh]

Saucy Liam - don’t listen to these losers that doubt you. Good luck!

[@murdershe......7378]

Best of luck my friend. The British are awesome rowers and they have German engineering precision behind them in the form of their head coach. He is the secret to their success over the years, British stubbornness, and a refusal to give up plus German engineering excellence which is a formidable combination. The Americans have lots of heart though and the female 8 are very very good so no reason the men's 8 will not be as successful.

All the boats and grip come from organizer or bring by each team?

Each team brings their own material, like in every other sports.

[@thelonesculler]

Fun fact: I've spoken with Phelan Hill and he said they could have won by more, but they didn't crank it that much in the last 500 because they didn't want to mess it up

[@tavit1987]

I would like to learn

[@Hxrb]

whoa man

[@samdai456]

What boats did the new zealand team use at rio? They all had that cool black and white design

[@Keewee2foot]

Sam Dai, we used the standard fillipi design boats, just painted black. Our 8+ has been black since 2014, the other boats adopted the idea for Rio.

[@samdai456]

cool thx

[@starhemi6469]

Keewee2foot not completely true. Mahe and rob wadell raced each other in black boats for Olympic trials but for races yes I believe so

[@toddmcknight9989]

Why does gb have two starboards in a row?

[@lokicurtis5029]

faster team GB!

[@cuminyamum2103]

anyone ever rigged an 8 with stern four stroke side and bow four bow side, or vice versa? if so and there is a link for youtube pls reply and drop the link

[@ryandennison352]

that wouldn't be very efficient since more power comes from the stern to middle 4 so one side would be getting more and also be getting pushed to one side. I would like to see that tho.

[@julietcoalton1144]

Nope! But there is a really nice physics paper on "bucket rigging". So the middle 4 are starb/port/lort/starb or the other way around. Supposedly this gives you nicer properties, but could be a balancing issue since those seats tend to be the heaviest

[@t.g.1.2]

this is crazy!

[@rikeshpatel1765]

Whats the purpose of the guy sitting at the end facing the other way

[@reganmc.6640]

Rikesh Patel He steers down the course and encourages the crew while making split second decisions on how to make the boat faster against its competition. He watches the other boats and calls their distances through the race, almost like their brain. I can tell you as a rower myself it is much harder to think while rowing, even to do basic math. It helps maintain the focus on rowing.

[@freya8677]

he’s the cox so he’s steering and motivating the crew, he also calls their race plan so when to sprint when to focus on technical

がんばれ！西岡

[@jameslaberee7836]

*Last 100 meters* "Don't go so hard, drop the rate, you're going to fly and die."

[@captainplague4921]

i disagree with that because the last 100 meters are the most important part of the race (besides your start) because you should be able to bring your rating up at the last 100 and speed past everyone else. During a erg 2k at least if your 2k is a 1:46 you should be able to bring it down to a 1:36 1:37 at least

[@goody2003]

Spare Airplane that’s completely wrong, if you can bring your split from a 1:46 down to a 1:37 at the end then you didn’t push as hard as you could for the other 1900 meters and tried to “save” energy

[@captainplague4921]

Ryan Goodwin but what’s the point in saving your self in the last 100 and you have no races left. If you are neck and neck with someone you push harder than you were going before you leave everything on the water there is no point in not pushing your self for that last 100 meters

[@im_an_oyster]

The last 100 metres is where you give anything and everything you've got you leave it all on that water idk what you're talking about

[@mercutioescalus6782]

Ryan Goodwin there isn’t a person in the world who can go to their absolute physical limit. Everyone has something left in the tank for a sprint in the end
