Team GB Daily: Day 8

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.

    • no, NTL will always be a  affair because of tradition and participation,  wouldn't be a threat for the major players (in NTL, they can't cheat on sleds and tracks )   but it's clear that it will never be an Olympic sport, so we don't even have to ask ourselves "what if?"
    • not even close...   I hope he develops into a good skater, but Sighel's talent isn't something you often see on the track
    • Kowalczyk's coach was from Kazakhstan and yeah, that's the old Soviet school. Her training was very harsh and nobody in Poland could keep up so she was a one-athlete team for majority of her career. Some footballers saw her training in Tatra mountains in the summer and she was running up the hill with a tire attached to her waist with a rope. That's proper Soviet methods or what.   The sponsors were not there even after the bronze she won at 2006 OG, remember this was when our ski jumping was still at peak of popularity and Apoloniusz Tajner became the head of Skiing Association which made every other winter sport even less relevant. Kowalczyk only got some serious sponsorship (Orlen, PKO Bank, car manufacturers) after Liberec WC 2009.   In late 2000s she still travelled around Europe in a van with coach and two classic skis waxers from Estonia (Are Mets & Peep Koidu) that were the key part of the success (and many other feds wanted to buy them out but they stayed with her). She had different waxers for freestyle skis later on.
