Full coverage of the men's pairs rowing heats from Eton Dorney as part of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Rowing has been staged at all the editions of the Olympic Games, except in 1896 in Athens. It was, however, on the programme, but a stormy sea compelled the organisers to cancel the events.
Women made their debut at the Games in 1976 in Montreal. They competed in a smaller programme. The Olympic Games in 1996 in Atlanta marked the introduction of the lightweight events.

🗞️ News from the Olympic world: oly.ch/News
The commentary on this race is absolutley terrible. The commentators have just witnessed the FASTEST EVER performance of a pair (still stands today), but they make little or no reference to it. They wrongly call the event the double sculls. In the next event, they mistake Australia for Austria!!! These people are below average. Anyone with an interest in rowing would have done a better job. Talk about phoning it in!! Aside from that, what a performance, in pretty choppy conditions. It may have been a big tail wind, but you need to know how to take advantage of it. They demolished the field and marched onwards towards a well deserved Olympic Gold.
who is this commentator. Ive watched many times the other videos from london and seen people's comments saying how useless he is but I ignored it mainly, but then watching this it just irks me that he calls this the double scull in the last 250m or so of the first race. Surely for the olympics they can find someone better, this guy is useless and is very sloppy with his facts. it's all very well being able to reel off Murray's erg record but then going on to get the event itself wrong? Incompetent commentary. I could do better, as could basically anyone who knows anything about the sport.
commentator didn't register that it was going to be a new WR
Most incompetent commentary I have ever heard.
25:25 this s why you need sport-specific commentary.
So glad Tokyo had Martin Cross commenting.
Who is this commentator? get a replacement next Olympiad
"almost unbeatable...over the last couple of years they've NEVER lost" hilarious
My grandma could give better commentary
if i saw that i was racing Eric and Hamish well ill just take my boat in and go home.
Atleast im not the only one who likes wooden handles better
I Wood'nt use anything else
if he says doubles sculls one more time...... PAIR!!!! haha =]
Absolute rubbish commentary.
Well wooden handles are much more comfortable to use (might just be my personal opinion but I guess many people think the same) and personally I have a much better feeling of control and technique when my blade is in the water. Again, this might just be my personal impression, but I pmuch prefer wooden handles.
Cant believe the Commentator calls Australia .. Austria!
wooden handles are actually really practical
I'm sorry...but why does this commentator get paid? He calls it double skulls at least twice!
.......And you called it “ skulls “ when it is of course “ sculls” . Anyone can make a mistake as you have just perfectly exhibited.
@timfha Most olympic teams prefer wooden handles like myself
BROOOOO Double Scull Nooo!!!!!He is also prefering gb over any other country.
It bugged me to watch their bowman not even get to perpendicular in terms of body angle
were eric and hamish using wooden handles?
In questa vincono gli inglesi davanti agli italiani
lo avevo detto che vincevano i canadesi
secondo me vincono i canadesi
Its spectacular to see Bond and Hamish row, I mean theoretically look how much of the oar is underwater both are digging outrageously. Any normal rower would die out after a 100, 200 meters but they keep on going Wow no words for the amount of strength the two have
Philip Pilat "Any normal rower"? A rower would pace it so they're not completely dead after 200m and still have enough gas to race the full distance. If you're dying after 200, then that is a serious pacing issue. And there's also a fine line between burying the blade and digging so much that it actually slows you down.
Shadowwolf TD5000 At the pace, strength and blade depth they have...doubtful
Philip Pilat Minor error but bond and hamish are the same person haha. It's murray and bond
What's practical about wooden handles? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm fairly new to rowing.
