Top 5 closest Olympic Rowing finishes 

And this video is now officially out of date

Rowers look more spent than any other athletes at the end of their races #PAIN

Look up Mahe Drysdale for NZ's win on the single sculls. He scored the exact same time in milliseconds with Croatia: 6:41:34. Literally doesn't get closer than that..

0.01 defines everything

Looks like you've missed one now

Pity us poor umpires back in the day when we fired a blank cartridge to signal the end of a race. And no photo-finish until the film was developed. :)

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing.

I remember this moment... very well. Of course we know this was a big controversy. Indeed the replay shows Rumi finishing first. Thanks for publishing this video. In all the other finishes in this clip one can more or less see who crosses first and it agrees with the result. Rumyana and Ekaterina's race is the only one where the video is opposite the official result.

Look at 2:52. Although Karsten is considered first the video shows that actually Rumyana has crossed the line first, you can see it clearly!

Ancient history: Lucerne 1965. Grasshopper 2x beats 64 Olympic champion Russian 2x by less than a bow balll, both Sat. And Sunday.

Sydney 2000 Photo finish shows Rumyana Neykova finishing first?!?

what a video! this is absolute nuts bois, go rowing!!!

Now its Damir Martin

La primera victoria (no reconocida injustamente), de Rumyana

What about the 2000 single sweep event. The finish was soooooo close the rowers went around in circles trying to figure out who won that race. CRAZY!!!

Maadi cup the diffrence between the gold medal and silver was 0.06 milliseconds, SISS there were two 3rd places because the time was the same to the 100th of a second

Great video

Rio 2016, 1x, Mahe Drysdale (NZ) and Damir Martin (Cro). Mahe won on photo finish. Should they have been given joint gold???

The music made it virtually unwatchable. Most unsuitable.

Love it!

Why at No.2 the gold medal gone to Belarus????

2:43 pants while rowing?
