Why is it an OB and not an OR though, what's the difference I believe it’s because conditions aren’t always the same, so there’s no records in rowing. They have “best times” instead. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

thepharoah 2,264 Posted July 23, 2021 #74 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Very strong finish from our Rower Abdelkhalek el banna who clinched 3rd place in the vary last 20m or something that was really interesting to watch , he qualified in a very fast heat also which's really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think swimming and bobsleigh are only too happy to share as many medals as possible for their 30-60 seconds efforts... I know the feeling. Well, at least he can return now and make a win even sweeter. It will be very demanding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makedonas 1,562 Posted July 23, 2021 #80 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Good start for our Stefanos Ntouskos, winning his heat. I've been saying that I think he can win a medal and I don't see why not. He was 4th at the European Championships (after having extra races that week because of the Olympic qualifiers while others were rested), and the bronze medalist from Poland didn't qualify for Tokyo. I would be very surprised if there are less than 5 Europeans in the Final A in that event also, so the European Championships seem to be a good indication. Still I think Zeidler Nielsen and Borch are the favourites for the podium. Surprised that Anneta Kyridou was third in her heat and not second. At least she advanced though. zob79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
