the first 900 meters of racing have a backdrop made only by a street with trucks going back and forth and piled containers, piled containers and piled containers again (and at about 650/700 meters from the start there's a passage below another highway bridge)...

 

the last 1000 meters' backdrop is a 10m high grey wall, behind which you can see the same street as before with trucks going back and forth and a small (ugly) hill with a few bushes...

Now I'm curious about the part from 900 to 1000 meters :p

obviously it's transition between the 2 kinds of landscape...:whistle:

 

by the way, you can watch by yourself (you only need to watch the first heat to see the entire course)...

That's interesting, cross-country course of eventing is supposedly set in woodlands right by the rowing course. :p

 

probably it's the other side of the channel, the one we can't see in the rowing pictures (the only other option is @heywoodu's :lol:)...

The second part doesn't seem so terrible. Not special, but not terrible.

 

That godawful first part though, holy shit.

Looks like they were so close to rescueing him in time..

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week
