what happened to our canadian double sculls whi are they so far back, did they mess up the start again?

It looks like the other boats were just better

but they were so far behind, in the semis they were so close to the Romanias

It looks like they never found the right rythym. This boat had coaching issues where they were super unhappy with their coach. Looks like it wasn’t their day.

Adam Kreek did a podcast where he interviewed all the different crews - the one with Smith/Sevick was the most fascinating one. They worked really well together but there was definitely some underlying issues and had to switch coaches like 2 or 3 months ago.
