"Is it worth it?".....5 Olympic Gold medals and a living legend who will be spoken about in rowing Folklore for a very long time......its been totally worth it Sir Steve!
His daughter screaming "c'mon Bwitain" was priceless. The passion in her face brings a tear to the eye everytime I watch this video and i watch it on a regular basis anytime i need cheering up. Surely he has to light the Olympic flame in the stadium. Absolute legend.
No one will ever really understand the pain and suffering he went through to get these medals. He is quite possibly the greatest olympian of our generation. Arise Sir Steve
5 Gold Medals in Olympics. 9 Gold Medals in World Championships. 3 Gold Medals in Common Wealth Games. Total 17 Gold Medals. Sir Steve Redgrave (GBR) one of the greatest rowers of all time... 👍👍👍👍.... 👏👏👏👏....
These two men are two of Britain's best ever sportsmen. They deserve to be honoured. This video brings honour to them. They put life and limb on line to push for every last inch that they can to honour their country. Incredible video.
This is honestly my favourite video of all time. What he achieved was absolutely amazing, the determination he has is mad! I was inspired to start rowing because of him, and British Rowing (and British Sport in general) are so lucky to have such inspirational and amazing role models! Well made video BBC and thankyou for uploading :) x
@Mairsyboy It was a team effort, but he gold Gold in no less than FIVE Olympics. The Olympics is every 4 years. That means he has been consistently the best for 20 years! No other athlete can boast that kind of presence. This is why he was given a knighthood. He is a shining example of British Sportsmanship and probably the best sportsman these great isles have ever produced.
I wish the video had been shot to reveal more of Redgrave's rowing techniques, particularly his reach and the timing of his release and recovery, The human interest fluff that makes up most of this video is unimportant. How this extraordinary athlete moved in the boat was truly important. It's an opportunity lost.
"Good video! At the IMD OWP 2010 Matthew Pinsent will share his experience from four Olympic campaigns, which resulted in four gold medals. He will highlight the importance of goal setting, communication, trust and ultimately the courage it takes to win in the toughest of conditions. "
For a country with a population that is a fraction of USA and China we sure do punch above our weight at Olympics Why because we are inspired by the likes of Redgrave Hoy Farah the Kennys Wiggins etc etc
@PAINdoctor94 Tim Foster is a legend in his own right. I laugh when people call him the small one. He was ripped when I met him. He seemed to be a really nice guy as well.
has anyone got a video of Steve Rider interveiwing the rowers as they come off the boat only for him to totally be ignorant about Matthew Pinsent and keep looking over to Redgrave. I hated Rider and how but after that he became a poo smell.
