WORLD CHAMPION - 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships - Men's 23-39 2000m

Have a look at the Men's 23-39 2000m race at day 2 of the 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships presented by Concept2.
Belgium's Ward Lemmelijn wanted to break the world record of 5:35.8 today, but fell short - however he still produced a storming and dominant performance to win the men's 23-39 category in 5:43.2.
Michał Szpakowski of Poland is second, racing virtually, with Jakub Podrazil of Czechia winning bronze at home.

Good job guys

[@ericmharper]

Do you have to use a Concept2 rowing machine or can you use a Hydrow to compete?

[@Armaanx7]

Take a fucking guess mate

[@abdelhafidanadir7784]

Bon courage

[@zoolookers]

Surely online joining is completely unfair? You have more oxygen, temperature can be different and latitude is different. In addition you can do it somewhere where you are comfortable.

[@2011hwalker]

Agreed, not the same at all.

[@sebdodds7381]

Agree - humidity is very important! Ridiculous!

[@anyab882]

Is high stroke rate the way to go for 2k?

[@KellenProctor]

With some of these guys holding 35-40, apparently so!!

Hi, @World Rowing, may I ask if damper setting can be selected freely by each competitor? thanks for the response

[@worldrowingofficial]

yes is the short answer ;)

[@Simon-xi8tb]

Are all the ergometers provided by WR or are they using their own machines ?
