    One of THE most emotional and spectacular sporting achievements ever - along with fantastic commentary
    I remember watching it live in 2000 with tears in my eyes, and 24 years on - it still makes me cry
    Totally amazing 👍🏼

    I'm British but was living in New Zealand when the Sydney Olympics was on. Normally a very calm, quiet man, but the second half of this race was the one and only time I have ever got up out of my seat, screaming at the telly! Epic race. So proud of the GB crew - especially Tim Foster, from my old rowing club in Bedford, and Steve Redgrave, my rowing hero!

    Why on earth are these two especially Gary Herbert not commentating for Paris 2024 after doing every Olympics since 96
    It’s especially brilliant listening to Herbert going mental when our boys / girls are doing well - however biased it may be

    I remember this race perfectly, one of the most spectacular and emotionally races of all time. As italian very well done to Gb and Italy teams. I lost 4 pints as a bet with my english colleague, but it was worth it. After few months I saw very close Steve Redgrave as I was working in a private school in High Wycombe, You could see how he was a perfect athlete.
