My friend, there are a lot of rivers in India, it's time for you to become a major powerhouse in rowing. Take up sculling on the mighty Ganges!

There is a dedicated lake ( Hussain Sagar) for our rowing programme, however the entire programme is under Army & unfortunately the sport doesn’t have any takers for private funding . It is also not a core sport under government funding . But you are correct there is such a good opportunity in Rowing , if we focus we can definitely send a larger team to Olympics. Our women programme is non existent unfortunately  I don’t see things changing any time soon on world level, we do get medals in Asian level/ Asian games though .

There is thing called "Ice Canoeing" so one would think Ice Rowing isn't too far off (or exists)

Ntouskos 

 

He was in a medal position for most of the race and totally ran out of gas. He attacked the federation and coach in an interview immediately after the final, which I'm shocked about because when the Kyridou sisters had issues with them, he seemed to take the federation/coach's side 

 

He also said he only slept 3 hours last night and that the federation could be doing better (which we all know) and that they robbed other athletes of chances and we could've won medals, and that even if the crew would be only 2 seconds faster, you have to put that faster athlete in the boat. He was kind of cryptic but it seemed like he was complaining that they put his girlfriend Anastasiadou in W2- instead of LW2X because she is better than the girls who won a medal and also a lightweight and maybe we could've done better than bronze if she was in that crew.

 

I don't know, I'll have to look into it more but there is always so much drama with our rowers. And now the coach has responded to Ntouskos' comments
