This video of the dutch 8 practicing before the olympics, at which they won the gold, exemplifies many of the technical elements we have been practicing lately: body angles, leg drives, acceleration, and quicker catches.
0:00-1:00 - Body angle at the finish
1:00-2:00 - Catching the blade before driving the legs.
*Notice when the camera is in close on the rowers you can see the blade of the rower in front entering the water before the rower in view is driving. The blade enters the water first.
2:00-3:00 - Emphasis and acceleration on the leg drive - not the finish.
3:00-4:00 - Rating comes up slightly and catches aggresive.
4:00-5:00 - Speed of the oar in the water.
