apparently it does, but it's actually beneficial for boat speed. they've done some analysis on it and it's better than having the blade closer to surface.
christopher figueroa naaaah it's not. You can be short but very strong and with a very good technique. And remember, if you are tall, you will have to carry more weight! And that is crucial in the technique.
Emanuele Bracci you’re kinda right but you’re also really wrong if that makes sense. I’m pretty short as a rower (170cm), and the national teams always look for tall people, so i have a hard time getting selected. Even though you can be a very good rower with a good technique and strength, the taller you are, the longer your strokes can be. This means that you can win up to 10cm per stroke as a tall rower relative to a shorter rower. And about weight, the heavier you are the more weight you can move the boat with, which means you can go faster (if it’s muscle weight of course). Why else would heavyweights go faster?
i agree, it would be nice to get someone that knew what to say at points in the race aside from things any nonrower could tell with half a brain

He is a lightweight racing heavyweight, though. I think he was just going for rate
PERFEITO!
this is a sport for tall people! :(

You’re right rowing is all about leverage and if u have a long wingspan u have good leverage.
@@hunterhawk6593 exactlyy, boss!!
Theres no way to beat physics
But u can still row if u are short no doubt it just taller u probably wilL be a little faster
i dont know what happened he has length down hella fast though
drysdale is yhe best for me
0:50 xaxa :DDD
poor commentating spoils these
