The most legendary pair of all time. Never forget the dominance.

Probably forgetting Redgrave and Pinsent who in relative terms were just as good if not better.

@@askiff1415 That is a pretty ridiculous statement. Of course Pinsent and Redgrave where a decent pair but they would not be close in a race with those two. And these two have never lost a race in the pair in their entire lives, how are they compared to Pinsent and Redgrave?

@@konstantinospapadias3705 maybe your English is weak, I used the word “relative”. The Kiwi pair lost races very very early on before their first world championships pretty ,you the same as Pinsent & Redgrave. But one both pairs were crowned world champions they never lost a race and retired world and Olympic champions. Of course what the Kiwi pair don’t have is the longevity at the top of world and Olympian competition that the British duo enjoyed.

@@askiff1415 My man i understand from the comments that you are probably a British guy and there is nothing wrong with that. Both Pinsent and Redgrave are rowing legends, everyone acknowledges this, to begin with. However, specifically in the pair, Hamish and Eric were miles ahead in terms of both facing better opponents and longevity and dominance. They never lost a single race in the pair. No semis no finals, not a single race. The last race they lost was probably the 2008 olympics BUT in the 4- not the pair (huge difference, cause they had 2 other guys together and the New Zealand camp also got poisoned if you remember correctly from Mahe not being able to get olympic gold). They had like 10 years unbeaten in any race. Pinsent and Redgrave went into the 4- when they started losing, like Pinsent and Cracknell did in 2004, like Hodge and Reed did in 2012. They are legends but not in the same level of dominance (thats what the data says not me) and they took medals in the 4- and m2+(Redgrave) so you cannot tell me winning the m2+ is the same as the m2-...

@@askiff1415 If you must choose a better rowing crew of all time the kiwi pair would be it, hands down. Even if you ask tomorrow sir Steve he will tell you the same, i am sure about that.

Wow. Cinematic and sporting excellence. Two of the best to ever to do it.

@@seanwhitehall4652 They were a bit more powerful than the British. Hamish especially is a beast for his power to weight ratio, and stronger that Andy Hodge (i really respect Andy btw and he is one of the best strokemen ever). Andys best2k was 5:46 whereas Hamish did a 5:44 or better if i remember correctly. I am not totally sure about Reeds best 2k but i think Eric was stronger (close to 5:40 or better).

@@konstantinospapadias3705 For the 2009-2011s I think the kiwis were still behind on power, but lighter. I remember the commentators saying it. Hamish was 5:48 at the time and Eric 5:44. After 2012, I'd agree they were stronger.
