[@thelonesculler]

And this video is now officially out of date

[@ethanmangum4630]

yeah really

[@superbamentestrabiliante3061]

yeah

[@lmcorrigan0]

Looks like you've missed one now

[@petargudic8852]

Liam Corrigan if you are thinkhing of 2016 rio olimpycs in single sculs then you are wrong this vid is from 2015

[@someguyfromtheinternet5158]

That's why he said 'missed one now'. Not that they missed one entirely.

[@georgerodgers601]

And now you're in the Olympics wow

[@Ineddiblehulk]

Rowers look more spent than any other athletes at the end of their races #PAIN

[@thelonesculler]

+Inediblehulk That's because we have 6-8 (depending on event) minute races that START with a full-on sprint and are pretty much flat out, 100% intensity the whole way

[@gruosd]

Cross country skiers are just as bad after their races, if not worse.

[@Ineddiblehulk]

I'd pay that - they both look in more pain than any other athletes I've seen

[@renaissancemen1]

+M3w2 ᅚᅚ cross country isn't a sport.

[@Karanar]

not true. Their races are longer, so they can't stay in the red like the rowers do. the 6-8 min duration is the most painful length an athlete can do, cause they can go almost 100% for the entire race. The levels of lactic acid in their body is just incredible.

[@tommytucker5464]

Look up Mahe Drysdale for NZ's win on the single sculls. He scored the exact same time in milliseconds with Croatia: 6:41:34. Literally doesn't get closer than that..

[@PurpleCoin7777]

.34 (2 digits) is centiseconds, not milliseconds :P

[@timroth5034]

yes but this vid is from 2015

[@alexshannon7987]

Tommy Tucker yeah, my brother once did that in a single scull race

[@tieuwest]

0.01 defines everything

[@graemeloveridge7107]

Pity us poor umpires back in the day when we fired a blank cartridge to signal the end of a race. And no photo-finish until the film was developed. :)

[@davidyordanov9288]

Sydney 2000 Photo finish shows Rumyana Neykova finishing first?!?

[@5thElem3nt]

+David Yoradanov Lol, now I remember this. I couldn't understand the decission 15 years ago and I still can't.

[@petiay]

I remember this moment... very well. Of course we know this was a big controversy. Indeed the replay shows Rumi finishing first. Thanks for publishing this video. In all the other finishes in this clip one can more or less see who crosses first and it agrees with the result. Rumyana and Ekaterina's race is the only one where the video is opposite the official result.

[@user-fx9hl5uq3o]

Look at 2:52. Although Karsten is considered first the video shows that actually Rumyana has crossed the line first, you can see it clearly!

[@renaissancemen1]

What about the 2000 single sweep event. The finish was soooooo close the rowers went around in circles trying to figure out who won that race. CRAZY!!!

[@JackMurnin]

hahaha

[@jamespowning4675]

lol

[@MamaEve]

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

[@rikirke]

Maadi cup the diffrence between the gold medal and silver was 0.06 milliseconds, SISS there were two 3rd places because the time was the same to the 100th of a second

[@jamestew5075]

Ancient history: Lucerne 1965. Grasshopper 2x beats 64 Olympic champion Russian 2x by less than a bow balll, both Sat. And Sunday.

[@peteratkinson922]

The music made it virtually unwatchable. Most unsuitable.

[@EvaMavis]

Rio 2016, 1x, Mahe Drysdale (NZ) and Damir Martin (Cro). Mahe won on photo finish. Should they have been given joint gold???

[@larra1139]

[@larra1139]

[@rosaliapavon5161]

La primera victoria (no reconocida injustamente), de Rumyana

[@tarantulaxd8122]

[@andresland182]
