Rowing WR World Championships 2023

Really interesting split in endurance sports. GB and the Netherlands super strong while New Zealand and Germany fell off. Germany should up their doping program or cut their funding for endurance sports and focus on more technical sports. Trying to compete in endurance sports without doping is like going to a war with nothing but slingshots.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Germany’s pretty succesfull in endurance swimming events. Perhaps the German doping authorities have overlooked those athletes?

 

There is of course an alternative explanation to the one you keep hinting at. Possibly the German Rowing Federation is just not very good.

Not such a disaster world championships for the :GER rowing team .  @EselTheDonkey
They qualified 6/14 boat , can add to that at the Final regatta.
Got a world champion in olympic class boat as well. 

 

Yes, it was less bad than feared, particularly because many of these crews were young athletes. Of course it's far from what German Rowing aspires to be, but miracles weren't to be expected. Hopefully, they will improve in the upcoming years.

So Finn Florijn (M4x) and Karolien Florijn (W1x) are both world champions. Imagine if they repeat this incredible achievement in Paris, has there ever been a family where father (Ronald Florijn, gold in Seoul 1988 and Atlanta 1996), son and sister are all Olympic champions?

 

Very historic world championship for :NED all around. It is starting to feel normal how dominant the Dutch rowers are, but after so many silvers and bronzes I have to keep reminding myself that a gold medal in rowing is still not an easy feat at all.

have to repeat myself...this domination by :NED:GBR and :ROU doesn't look good (once again, sorry my friends :p)

 

however, the :ITA disaster does look even worse :facepalm: :hairpull:

Last year we won 9 medals in Olympic events so slightly disappointing😀

Yes, you are the alpha and omega of rowing

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

Given that this was the first time ever the Dutch team won more than 1 gold medal in Olympic events at Worlds, we nearly doubled the number of world titles won in Olympic events from 7 to 12, and for the first time a Dutch Olympic event world champion managed to retain his/her title, that conclusion is premature. It will probably all come to very little in Paris next year.

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.   If Eitrem has the same form over long distances as he does over 1500 metres, he will dominate this season, not Ghiotto or Roest.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
