What great sportmanship by Damir Martin. If I was in his shoes I would be so pissed but he took it with the utmost respect towards Mahe. A great person everyone should aspire to be like :)
I talked to Damir about the medal, he said that he was happy because he gave his best and that he would feel the same if he won any other medal. He also said Mahe deserved it because he has 10 years of experience more than him.
Shame this isn't a bigger sport because it has everything- incredible fitness, excitement, strategy, and the competitors give their all but are both humble in victory and defeat
I love how specifically these three scullers have had a healthy rivalry for ages in the world's and the Olympics and how they're all such great friends.
probably the greatest single sculls race of all time!!!! Damir passed mahe in the end but mahe threw in a VERY fast hand away propelling the boat just fast enough for him to beat martin.
After this race, Steve Redgrave said that Damir would have won if he'd just paused before the line and let the boat surge forwards. Literally that catch of the last stroke slowed the boat just enough for Mahe to sneak his bowball (and no more) ahead on the line
Shadowwolf TD5000 though steven is the most succesful rower of all time and his name will be honoured for many years to come, he wasn't what you'd call a "technician". He relied on pure strength in every one of his races so i'd say he isn't the best man to talk to when you wanna talk technique
Should've shared gold. when you've got people holding the boats at the start there's no point using equipment thats that accurate at the finish. it makes no sense. Great race.
There is a reason they have the metal gates holding them in. In any regatta outside of worldcup/world champs and olympics it would most likely be a tie
In swimming they race for 50m which is about 23 seconds and if the margin is less than 0.01 it's a tie..In rowing we race for 7 minutes and a margin of 0.003 is not considered a tie ..that's completely unfair they should have given 2 golds
Nothing against the Great Dyrsdale but Martin has also earned the gold for catching up with the great finis, he would have even got it if he wouldn't have taken the last row but just let it slide...
Ja sam srbin ali sam navijao za hrvata kao da je srbin zaomi je sto nije uzeo to zlato znam kako je kad u veslanju neko izgubi zbog nekoliko stotinki ali na kraju krajeva obojca veslaca su dala sve od sebe i to je najvaznije.Sve pohvale za obojcu.
You can try to check the Finnish Rowing Federation website to see if they have a list of clubs around the country. Good luck! www.melontajasoutuliitto.fi/
Still doubting if the results were accurate. Look at 8:41; feels like Damir had this one. But maybe the camera vantage point was not the best to capture results. I am sure they have more vantage points to judge the results. Great race though!!!
The line you see on the video is actually not the finish line it is just before it which Drysdale did look like he may of just been slightly past him however I feel like they both deserved the gold medal.
Rowing is timed down to a thousandth of a second but TV only displays up to a hundredth. It is what the athletes sign up to when they first start in the sport internationally.
6:41,34 for both? In swimming, it's a tie! 1. This is not fair, that they gave a gold medal only to Drysdale. 2. They did not even show us the photo finish. Although, I always like if Drysdale wins, it's really a shame broadcasting for an Olympic Games in 2016!
@@penguinman2569 Have a close look at the photo. Notice how its been photo shopped??? Look at how they stretched the number 4 in comparison to the 5. The croat was robbed, pure and simple.
@@no-gracias9863 It was not corrupt. It was "strictly" in accordance with the regulations, because it is who cuts the line first, and by the thickness of a fingernail, they detected that Drysdale had "won", by a photograph of that moment when both bows cut through the plane. Hugely magnified, hugely accurate. Your sentiment is correct though. In the last stroke, Martin's body (85% of the all-up mass of boat/sculls and athlete) was about 30cm ahead of Drysdale, but his boat was at a different part of the stroke cycle, the stroke's finish, where it is pushed back away from the race finish line. Had he just fixed his position at the catch in that last stroke, ho would have been a clear Gold Medallist. Rowing applies the rules with a almost obscene level of rigidity. Any athlete would surely say "both get Golds" - it has happened in athletics sprint races, where there is "interpretation" of the relative merits of an apparent dead heat..
Because Mahe was faster 0.0000002 according to the blurry foto finish picture 😂😂 Its a bullshit . Shouldv been 2 golds . Its a 2000 meters 7 minute race and they count 0.0000002 seconds and in swiming 50 meters they give gold for 0.1 seconds. Unreal bullshit and no sportmanship towards Martin. Poor guy
Rowing is timed down to a thousandth of a second but TV only displays up to a hundredth. It is what the athletes sign up to when they first start in the sport internationally.
I know nothing about this sport except that it looks brutally exhausting. I'm surprised at how "mature" Drysdale is... I would have thought a sport like this would favor men in their mid 20's to early 30's.
It’s difficult for me to find information online, so I am going to ask here. What would be an average speed a single sculler could go? If the person is in shape but no high level athlete. On average how long does it take to pass 1 kilometer on a scull?
On average I would say it takes about 3:50 or 4min to do 1000m (if you only do 1km and push hard) As for the speed, we measure that in time/500m(known as pace) I think an olimpic athlete could go about 1:30min/500m, maybe faster, but only for a very short time (that would be 20km/h)
@@Santi-hh1tp Nice! Thank you. I'm actually trying to guage for long-distance trips. I'm in Belgrade and there's a large river here called the Danube. I want to try to learn to scull, then scull to a small via the river that's about 24 kilometers away. I'm wondering how long it would take me. Buy bike it's about an hour.
@@nikolasirovica3250 In that case, I would say about 2hrs. But I should say that the sculls are competition boats, and are designed to go as fast as possible, but are very unstable. If you want to start rowing long distances maybe try normal rowing boats (I think in English it's called sweep rowing) Sculls are also quite expensive, so I would recommend joining a rowing club.
@@Santi-hh1tp Thanks! Yeah I guess ideally i'd like to find something that goes fast and long-distance, but maybe that doesn't exist. I'm new to rowing, generally i cycle. A row boat would be great, but they seem to go super slow and then it's not as exciting :D
@@nikolasirovica3250 Yeah I totally understand! Though rowing boats aren't as slow as they seem, specially fiber ones. If what you want is to row as exercise, a rowing boat is still a very good choice. But if you can afford a scull, its most definitely worth it. If the river is not too wavy you could use a scull with no problem. (They are usually used in lakes or closed canals with still water). I hope I've been helpful. Good luck!

Fantastic race combined with some amazing camera shots from Rio

it's the amount of pain that you need to be prepared for with hard training, it's insane.

@@Simon-xi8tb true
have you ever rowed before? If you have, that's not the sort of thing rowers usually say.
Lucas Orlebeke it’s because I have rowed before that I could relate to the pain crossing the 1500 taking it home to the 2000
trust me this is definitely one of the hardest sport, it's even hard to rowing 500 meters

Wow! Rio is beautiful!
best race in any sport of whole olympics
No
Great sportsmanship, but both men should have been awarded the gold, even in slo-mo its a tie.
watching Drysdale row is like going to church, both give you life omfg
The croatian deserved the victory. He was beaten by the pace: he was on the return and Drysdala was rowing on the finish line.
Viacheslav Ivanov ...Pertty Karppinenn ..Thomas Lange and Mahe Drysdale are the best scullers in the Olimpic games
What an amazing finish
what a race !! but i would share the gold... and thanks that you guys also recorded the medal ceremony (missed that at london)
