2000 Sydney Olympics Rowing Mens 1x A Final 

Grande Xeno carajo!!

After going toe to toe with Waddell for so long you deserved to hold the other two off. well sculled sir

@@MostynARC Brutal, I remember that day as if it were yesterday. The entire body was seizing in those last 500 meters. Two months earlier, I won the World Cup in Vienna, the same way Rob won this Olympic final. My rationalization of this race is that, my life would not have changed that much had I won a second Olympic gold medal. It changed Rob’s life a lot more and I am very happy about it.

Thanks for the insight

​@@elite_online_rowing_coach it sucks that you are/were such an elite athlete yet you only get 6 likes on this. Had it have been the 100m sprint then it would be different. Such a pity cause the world in general does not understand how extraordinary this accomplishment is. You are a legend Sir. Thank you for the inspiration you have indirectly given to me in my life ❤. You are a class act 👌

Thank you. I enjoyed my 2000 Olympic preparation. I blew up brutally in the last 500 meters. All week long I woke up with a sore throat which after a couple hours went away. Weird. Massive lead at 500 meters to go and then I blew up 😂. I can’t believe I saved myself through the line with Silver. Phew.

@@elite_online_rowing_coach Yeah, I listened to your full commentary of that final and 1996. Both very good listening.
