Rowing FISA World Championships 2019

I saw that first Russia was in lane 6 at M4x, but FISA moved them in lane 2 before the race....

yeah, but they changed that after W4- B final. Not fair at all for crews from B finals M4- and W4-.

They would've assessed this during the b finals and came up with the conclusion to redraw the lanes hence why we had at least a 20 mins delay between a para rowing event and the W4x. These things happen and it's not unusual for these things to happen in a rowing regatta.

What a huge surprise in men's lightweight double sculls. Germany lost a safe gold medal thanks to the wind. Every year we see the same in rowing, Germany dominates all season long just for someone to completely explode at the world championships, i fear it will be the same in men's eight. Either Germany always gets their training wrong or some of the other nations have a magic way of hitting another level at the world championships.

it's only their fault if they were only second in their semifinal race...

 

and in any case, it wasn't a safe gold medal at all...maybe they were the favourites before the championship started, but they already lost once to Ireland also in perfect conditions like we had 2 days ago in the semis...today's race is only the logical consequence of that one
