Hi Aram, I'd be interested in hearing what your thoughts are with regards to the Aussie Mens 4 from the world champs 2017? Specifically how they are so relaxed around the finish, let the boat run out with the micro-pause at pace and then let it rise up as they come to the catch.
Puhhh... I have just had closer look at them. They row exceptionally well. I have seen a few things here and there, but I will have to study this crew in detail before I can say something about them that makes sense. I agree with you. This looks quite relaxed for the stroke rate they keep.
What do u say about hamish work with his hands? He is fethering with his outside hand and doesn't pull to his Body? I mean he doesn't have to do it, he's a machine but why? (He weighs like 85kg and pulls an 5:40 on the erg)
Kate Brennan in her Rio woman single scull win seems to illustrate your story about building up this anchor/water bubble in front of the blade very well. She seems to take the time to build this up after the catch. I wonder if your are of the same opinion and if this could be a good race to review?
Thank you Daniel. Great input! As a matter of fact, her rowing style seems to be free from over ambitious creation of dynamics. I have put it on the list for possible reviews.
I love hearing your thoughts on rowing, its really really deep and technical, you dont miss anything, you obviously know your rowing, im learning lots from you indeed. PS- i need to think about sports in depth like someone as yourself. Awesome info mate your so technical, you must be a coach or something.
@Aram, what is more important for boat speed catch timing synchronized or release timing synchronized? Reason I ask, is the situation where you have two athletes with significantly different stroke lengths rowing in the same boat. Is the answer different for sweep & scull?
I wonder if actually they use shorter blades than most heavyweights. Would explain why they are caning the start but not getting the same peak speed as the field.
Your video is quite interesting but you can't say that their strokerate are lower Okey they lived lower but their strokerate are highest than anyone else Just look at the information They are at 39 when everyboady are at 34
