2000 Sydney Olympics Rowing Mens 2- A Final
Спорт
Full race of mens coxless pairs A Final
This was recorded from BBC coverage, commentators were Daniel Topolski and Gary Herbert
Rowing held at Penrith lakes with lane 6 nearest camera
The French had put in a storming last 500m in the semi-final. Here they very bravely started that sustained high rate push at 750m still to go, The stroke man Jean-Cristophe Rolland is currently (2021) the head of the World rowing federation (FISA)
I had put a treble bet on at the bookies, that GB would win the gold in the 2-, 4- and 8. It was all going well in this race until that French push !!!

Where is the original commentary? It disappeared from the internet?

I guess it depends on who's original commentary you want, this is the original BBC commentary. If a version you liked has disappeared it will probably be the IOC randomly blocking it due to copyright. I have 29 Olympic videos that you can no longer watch as the IOC have blocked them

@@robbiemallett Yes!! What a find. This is the commentary I'm used to; one of the commentators is the same as in this YT video, so I guess one of the commentaries was dubbed later?? Very odd. It's a similar story with the M1x from these Olympics; I'd love to find the one with the two guys from the video you linked, I used to watch it but it's seemingly disappeared.
