actually, i think you'll find it just looks like that because his body swing isnt as exagerated as the others, he sits more upright and as such his bodies over goes quicker, doesnt look to me like he's early on the slide at all, and i doubt he'd be allowed in the boat, never mind the 7 seat, if he made it slower.
There are technical issues in the boat - but I think the mark of a good critic is being able to give feedback that is conducive to athletic development rather than suggesting that the athlete is being carried by the crew. Personally, I think Rob accelerates the handle into the finish very well. If he's early maybe Spracky might want to try a rig switch to load him up a bit. However this point is moot since this is a super old video. Anyway, congrats on the silver medal man.
It's not about hating. Almost nobody has your power, it's impressive and I respect you your work ethic. Let's just say I wouldn't be insulted if someone said to me 'you row alright but don't have enough power'. To me, that's not so different from 'you could row better but you're very strong'. Anyway! I thought it was a point of pride how Mike's eights don't look pretty but still win races... Win win, no?
Hey 'limegreenspeed' & 'superfroth69' (sweet names...) All I have to say to you is haters are gonna hate. I appreciate your 'constructive criticism' but really, nobody cares what you think because nobody knows who you are. Im Rob Gibson and I'll be representing my country at the 2012 Olympics.
James Walsh you are correct, however for the wrong reason. He is destroying the stroke man with his leg drive. He is stroking the boat from the seven seat. It becomes more apparent toward the end of the video when they are sprinting and it becomes a more all out power piece. He just destroyed the strokes leg drive.
@dointhedeed1 if he fixed his techinque the boat would go so much faster. it isnt him thats winning the races, its the crew. Good, he pulls good ergos, but if he cant apply it into the water efficiently then whats the point of having good power. yes he may be an amazing rower but theres no doubt he could be even better if he perfected his technique. you may not think it but those 1% changes that can be applyed will make the boat go much faster.
Bowmans fluid rhythm is spectacular, especially at the catch. Perfect sweeping motion as it latches onto the water.
Wow. Beautiful flat water, beautiful rhythm, and beautiful technique. Very inspirational, thank you!
the engine on that launch must be crazy to keep up with a boat like that.
3 seat being a true 3 seat
What kind of polish do you use on that lake? It's like a flipping mirror!
I love watching short rowers a tall rowers row in the same boat. Those little guys have to get so much lay back!
#7 has a quite different style of Rowing from The rest....
God, the corners are perfect. Beautiful!
The only thing I'm qualified to mention is 7 seat pulling his body forward at the finish.
I don`t like how they look but I was impressed with the spead. Good job
YES Rob, YES. You can put it on the BOOOOOOAAAAARRRRDDDDD, YESSSS!!!!!
that seven seat though...
yeah lol
Horrendous technique
@@DIFFIEH you don't know what you're talking about
@@connorhayes1013 he just using body swing too early but aside from that he good. I couldn't do better
quite tentative at the catch in the first part, gets better and better towards the end
I'd take Rob Gibson in my boat any day.

Is that a GoPro on Brian Price's head? If so I'd love to see the video from it!!

Well now I gotta know what they said
@@chillur3950 alot of people were talking shit about their technique
Love it.
Anyone know how I could contact the Canadian Mens Team for an interview
wow! what a majestic sport. Goose pimples..
5 man has a slower or softer finish drawing into body
That's a bit of a misstatement, they have the fastest time ever recorded.
where is this??
Austin Roberts Italy
dcsima is it in sabaudia in Italy???
Where's the Finnish eight?
which seat is Rob Gibson? 7 or 3?
+TrGMAN14 7, he was 3 in london though
Hey Fred
Hey will, some similarities with 3 seat and 7 man
Well observed Fredward. Terrific analysis.
Cool
7 seat is early on the slide and early at the finish, easily noticed with boat speed.
James Walsh you are correct, however for the wrong reason. He is destroying the stroke man with his leg drive. He is stroking the boat from the seven seat.

Guy at 7 his hands are so out of sync with the hand speed of stroke that he’s rushing him
you should start coaching big guy, it's better to be early than late in 7 seat
damn
busted immediately
7 man out of rhythm with stroke
awwwww

The rating WAS TO DAMN HIGH
you and your*
Here only the stroke seat knows how to row.
4 has a pretty good stroke
Who are you?
