Thank you Henley Royal Regatta for being so open and sharing with your footage.
Olli is really what happens when insane physiology meets grit and determination. One of the most dominant olympic results from a male single sculler in recent memory.
legit content, we need more youtubers like you, Jack
Thanks!
Hello Jack! You said “let me know what you think” so here goes…as a rower rather than a coach I hear about backsplash a lot and I think the concept is overstated (and I’m seriously unimpressed when people in front of me soak me with their splashy catches). If the boat is going at racing speed the last thing you want to do is exert force against the travel of the boat. I don’t mind seeing equal splash either side of the blade allied with a quick entry. I have difficulty with the idea of creating a void and waiting for it to fill for the same reason and I don’t think it’s what actually happens at full steam. For example, I didn’t see any evidence of it in the men’s eight at the olympics. I’m all for fast connection but I reckon the backsplash thing is a misunderstanding or rather a mis-statement of how to create an efficient catch. So there you go!!
Fair enough, but show me literally one crew that won at paris and didnt have back splash? I agree you should not slow down the boat, but there is no way to put a blade into the water without damaging the run of the boat. Your options are: place a light oar in on the way sliding forward, or row the blade into the water driving your body backwards while you are not connected which kicks on the stern. IMO the oar causes less damage than the body.
@@JackBurnsEdgeRowing well, look at the eights final in Paris. Backsplash is not in evidence in any of the crews. Excellent catches all round, but they’re all picking up the water at the speed of the boat and none of them are putting the blade in the water while they’re still coming forward. I think that’s probably a mental concept rather than a practical proposition. Thanks for taking the time to reply, btw!
@@ted149 Maybe we have a different idea of what backsplash looks like, but from my idea of it - there is definitely backsplash. Watch 2:47 on the eurosport video of the dutch. GB do it as well. I was coached in the same system as the GB eight when I was training there and it is 100% taught that way. (thanks for opinion though, happy to have discussions on this!)
@@JackBurnsEdgeRowingthanks for replying again! I’ll leave it there. Another time I’d like to debate stern check with you, IMHO another concept that needs more research. What we’re all trying to understand is how to make the most efficient use of the power output that the human body is able to produce, ie the most speed for least watts.
Hi Jack. I find the technical analysis content really useful. I've been using the Henley footage of you (vs Zeidler) as a technical model to try and emulate as closely as possible for the last couple of years. More analysis content of old footage of you in the single would be excellent. Also, I love to see an appearance from Tokyo now and again! Thanks
Thanks for the feedback, will do!
great video. Thank you. One small detail: His name is Zeidler (with E I) pronounced "Sightler".
There is one other option to train and exercise the timing and relaxation in the front. Olli used this way as well during his last prep years for Paris.
Apologies and thank you for correcting me, changed it now. Glad you liked it otherwise.
He is Oli Zeidler, not Ziedler as in the title.
Thanks for highlighting that, changed.
Hey Jack! Love the content as always. Curious, is it known by the general public what Ollis training volume and zone distribution looks like? Does he follow the traditional East German/GB polarized model? Thanks!
We had him chat with our Athletes for a private webinar. He follows a very standard 2 x hard sessions per week (sometimes 3) then the rest is a few weights sessions and high UT2 volume. I cant recall but pushing 200k in his big weeks. He said his UT2 on the erg was 1:47/48 at around a 130 hr
The best things come from tangents…world rowing 👀 please allow fair use for everyone’s benefit 🙏
Jack, 🥇 💝
