@RowingVoice 7th 🙏. 2 eights, 1 quad, 1 four, 1 double, 1 pair, 1 single

M. Twellaar becomes the sixth representative from NED into the finals

@martcrossy It’s the new boat :)

Best set of senior results for Hampton School rowing at the School’s Head for a long time 1st 8 4th & 2nd 8 🥇👇

Ze stopt ermee. Wat een verhaal!!! roeien.nl/roeiverhalen/o…

@MaartenKolsloot Ik voel een nieuwe druk aankomen

Rabobank terug in de wielersport: o boy wat heerlijk dat we al die oude verhalen weer op mogen halen ;) Iemand Raas al gebeld? nos.nl/artikel/255741…

Samengevat: de enige echte Troonrede. #prinsjesdag #troonrede

@VladoVeljanoski @NOSsport Vind je het wat?

@fatsculler No way, never time trial. Let’s do a heat and the last one in each heat is done. Untill you have 6 or 12. I like to see the best crews the most often in stead of the least

Back of the fag packet musings… #rowing format needs an overhaul. I would scrap repechages run all events as a Time Trial with top 12 through to semis (or top 6 to A Final for 8’s). I’d also do away with any race below B final and rank those crews based on TT result

@MaartenKolsloot Naar de opening gaan is een keuze….

De show is geniaal, maar professionele sporters uren in de stromende regen laten staan op het hoogtepunt van je loopbaan is tricky.

Zin in vrijdag

@martcrossy @StJohnsPriest Maybe steff and melvin can double up :)

@StJohnsPriest No chance really they are probably in their last Games and want to have best chance for gold - in two events it would be soo difficult Lipa doubled up in 1x & 8 in Atlanta but only medaled in 8

Massive news about the Sinkovic brothers switching from double to pair for Paris…

@rowinggeek @lightoverwater @martcrossy 🤔

@lightoverwater @martcrossy LW not an advantage in Beach Sprints. Ideal training is weights, S&C, sprint running, great technique getting in and out of boats, and skilful buoy turns. Look at the sprint winners from Worlds. They’ve all lifted some weights and they’re not necessarily the tallest…

There will rightly be time to celebrate rowing’s new discipline: beach sprint being included in the LA 2028 Games but for now I feel a pang to say goodbye to lightweight rowing and all that will entail

@SjoerdHamburger @Roeibond @TeamNLtweets @YouTube Ken behoorlijk wat lichte roeiers die minder enthousiast zijn…

@MaartenKolsloot Valverde is geschorst geweest toch? Dus wel gestraft?

Idem voor afscheid Valverde vorig jaar met ereronde in Madrid

Nice day @ the office ❤️

Whoopee the wind’s turned round to a cross tail @WorldRowing champs

@RowingVoice Good luck, hope to see you this weekend👍

Media areas are spacious this year: a cool and quiet p conf space and working desks indoors and a good-sized space tucked in beside the finish tower outdoors. Finish tower is looking a bit weatherbeaten still (needs a new coat of paint) but I don’t _think_ it’s made of RAAC…

@MaartenKolsloot En ik verbaasde me al over het horloge van Femke bol. In londen 2012 was er een Jamaicaan die m voor de finale toch maar ff af deed

Aërodynamica, marginal gains, het beste materiaal: allemaal essentieel in de topsport. En dan nog zijn er sprinters die met de volledige collectie van de plaatselijke juwelier om de nek naar de start van de 100 meter sprint marcheren. Waarom? Is het bewezen sneller? 🤔

@martcrossy I totally agree with you

@rogierblink Fair question Rogier. Having spoken to the Ukrainian team I would prefer if the situation had remained as it had been for the World Cups….

This is obviously a decision that many in the sport and beyond will have strong views about insidethegames.biz/articles/11376…
