I  don't really know anything about rowing but I liked seeing the women going above 40 strokes. From a rowing idiot's POV it has been frustrating to watch British boats sticking fairly rigidly to 38/39 when other boats have been upping and seeming to out-sprint us.

It's important to remember that a quicker stroke doesn't always mean a cleaner stroke.

 

Also some crews prefer to sprint, others prefer a constant pace. At the end of the day, if you have got your effort right, you'll have exhausted it by the end of the race whichever way you prefer.

Yes, that's why he's a tad excited

So 3G, 2S and 3B. Safe to say a return to form from the rowers.
