A great video of one of the greatest races. So refreshing without commentators. You can really hear - and feel - the power in those boats.

[@mtmv22]

Here after reading the book "Will it Make the Boat Go Faster?" by Ben Hunt-Davies, one of the Team GB guys. Mind-blowing how much work and discipline went into those 5 minutes. Great book - really recommended. I don't usually go for self-help books but this one was no-nonsense brilliant.

[@peterpietrzak1253]

Why didnt he go onto athens in 2004 after the sydney ones anyway?

[@matthewmurnaghan2583]

I once met Ben Hunt-Davies myself, and I got to hold his medal.

[@user-ej5mr9th1i]

Nice to hear the raw sounds of a race

Literally milli seconds deciding who wins what... Years of work distilling to those milli seconds... And that's where perhaps the one question britsh rowers asked during all those preparation years made a difference - "Will It make the boat go faster"

[@peterpietrzak1253]

Go Croatia!!!

[@ryangoslingbasedgod2628]

glorious rowing

[@adamblakley3780]

If those Aussies stepped on the gas just a bit earlier, they would have taken it. What a strong finish.

[@AxelPRC]

Wow I had never really noticed that but yea....incredible last 750m

[@paulmcdonough1093]

ozzies don't have the fight the brits have though

[@jamescasey611]

And if the great british crew didnt push to early they would of had more at the finish

[@bendickinson6264]

Silly comment really!?

[@askiff1415]

Poorly judged by the Australians - gave over a length at 500 gone. You simply cannot get that far back and disconnected in a final let along an Olympic final.
