I remember this race when I was a child, we were so excited and thrilled at the win. Something you never forget. It’s up there with Peter Snell and John Walker.
It's real creepy this RU-vid algorithm, I've heard alot about the men's 8 in '72 with Tokyo Olympics going on. Now there it was in my feed. I am an individual and I make my own decisions! Thanks for the upload though 😊
I was fortunate to have met and practiced with the '76 Kiwis headed to Montreal. They spent the Spring rowing out of our (Syracuse U.) boathouse on Onondaga and we did many pieces with them. They also took the time to share their experiences. But, we tried teaching them American football and they didn't quite "get in behind".
Hardly a surprise, here in New Zealand we play REAL football. Rugby, or as I’ve heard it described by an American Sports commentator “ Carnage in underwear!”…. Or …. as we prefer to say, Gridiron / American football is “Rugby for hairdressers!”. Do you really have to wear protective armour, shoulder pads and helmets to play football??. Nah!
Thanks for posting this. I particularly like the West Germans' swimcaps. I have often wondered if there are marginal gains to be made in rowers' haircuts and millenary.
