As a rower watching these olympic rowers distills the most amazing sense of satisfaction. They're just so perfect!

[@jalalsaraji4145]

I really enjoy watching these videos, as a rower I feel understood and that doesn't happen often as this sport is usually underrated

[@korabbeka9716]

The sport is the most underrated not just underrated Hahahahaha

[@iamrichrocker]

[@laurenasuzano1977]

It's so satisfying as a coxswain to see these rowers. 😌

[@philipundisclosed7980]

When we row on the Potomac as we go up the river we get a great view of the Washington monument in the background which is pretty sick.

[@ToddiThaKid]

I love rowing

[@fifi37475]

I held his boat at the National Canadian Championships last year! (don't really know why he was there, still pretty cool though!)

[@liamsmith116]

[@Starbudder]

These guys are so awesome

[@michaeltarlowski9316]

I disagree. I think they are oarsome.

[@toshiono1989]

Rowing seems so taxing, but very cool to behold races!!

[@tommytucker5464]

Olimpic Is sick

[@ivanicasmusic]

Olympic, can you please do a video about anatomy of a woman rower? 💜✌

[@ivanicasmusic]

Luka Boyle well..there are differences between men and women..ways that bodies respond differently under pressure..hormones.. Don't know what to tell you, but would sure love to see anatomy of a woman rower. In my teens I was a rower, now I'm (maybe) old for it, but sure would like to try again, but don't know how will my body respond, since I'm not that young anymore.😂

[@TorterraTriumph]

You're never too old for rowing!

[@ivanicasmusic]

Chris thank you! 😍 even my old coach said - once a rower, always a rower. But it's gonna take some mad willpower 😂

[@ivanicasmusic]

Luka Boyle me too hahahah 😂

[@esmiereyes1643]

a weight lifter has strong legs "yes" but a rower does have stronger legs because of the cardio they put in to those legs.. that is a fact!

[@isorry4strokin]

+esmie reyes depends on what your goal is. max power of a weighlifter is much higher and most olympic rowers wouldnt be able to get anywhere close to the max squat numbers of powerlifters. just like powerlifters would die 500 meters or even less into a rowing race. Its like comparing sprinters to 5k runners, they train differently so there really isnt a way to even make a good comparison.

[@izzyrowing1064]

Rowers at just better

[@christopherfigueroa3083]

this is for tall people. shorts doesn;t get anywhere

[@devong.4216]

christopher figueroa coxswains! And some lightweights!

[@schmerkampfmunde]

That's not true!

[@dario8982]

Not true

[@viktoryrun3766]

Not true 😂i'm the smallest girl in my club, but got the fastest single

[@bigbobabc123]

a rowers legs as strong as a weightlifters? lol, nowhere near.

[@bigbobabc123]

+Elconimo even the worst Weight lifter in the Olympics would squat significantly (probably way over double) more than the best rower in the Olympics.

[@bmseven28]

+Elconimo he did say weightlifter...

[@bigbobabc123]

+Elconimo a weightlifter is someone who competes in a specific sport, anyone who competes in that sport will have significantly stronger lags than any rower.

[@bmseven28]

***** don't be a dumbass,he obviously ment a weightlifter of a similar age and bodyweight. ANY competitive weightlifter will have WAY stronger legs and hips. he obviously wasn't comparing an olympic level rower to a weightlifter that has trained for 2 weeks.

[@nickplaysthetrumpet]

+bigbobabc123 Its not like you can really compare the two anyway. A rower has a MASSIVE lung capacity therefore they can put enough aerobic energy into their legs to push hard but still make it a full two kilometers. A weightlifter definitely has more explosive anaerobic power to squat more pounds which is probably what you are thinking of.
