I love how there is no need for him to be humble. They were strong as hell and he openly acknowledgeds it. Engines!

Such depth of knowledge here. Well done. Great interview. Martin, you remind me of bricktop from Lock Stock!

Good is

GB men’s four rows a big boy rhythm!! Rhythm won the kiwi eight the Gold

Go Cambridge!

Rooting for you in Paris💪❤️

I like 6ks.

GB legend

Hey am Ronnie I was hoping if there is any way u can connect me to Conlin Maccabe

Along with 'The Amateurs', Martin's book is the best ever written about the sport of rowing. Highly recommended.

The best interview on Crossys corner in my opinion!

seminal q

22:00 I'd rather have Lightweight than coastal. 100%

We say accelerate actively pulling feet toward you in prepare for a catch.. :)

An 8k is such a different animal, there’s lots of room for surprises. Let it be so!

Pro tip don’t be stupid like me and do HR training on caffeine. My split jumped up by 10 lol

I was a very small part of that year that Ludos seat collapsed. It was such an amazing time. I remember literally borrowing begging and sometimes acquiring equipment that we probably should have not been using. It was the little one taking on the MITE of the rest of the world if you pardon the pun… the mite group was the club sponsor… Thanks for the FB post seeing Richard chatting was great. His face seems a bit saggier than I remember….ha

Martin Cross seems much jollier than I thought. Richard Budget's hair has utterly changed from nearly white to dark brown

Composure and wisdom - splendid interview.

What a fabulous interview. Rebecca comes across so well in this interview. Humble and down to earth. A credit to herself and her sport.

Great mind, great interview. thanks so much for this opportunity to learn from a legend.

Rowing is an amazing sport but Garry takes races to the next level

This was almost akin to club level racing antics and outcome. You just don’t see this type of tactic and outcome at Olympic levels. Bravo

Such a great interview. Excellent overview of rowing technique and training from Karl Adam to Karppinen to Nielsen to Teti and Terharr. Well done Mr Cross 👏 🤩

Really enjoyed this. Thanks to you both

I was rowing back in the early 80;s and these guys were legends to me. Loved hearing all their stories.

Impressed with the authenticity. Takes me back to 96/97. Thanks for the memories Richard.

Loved it! Be great to get Tom George on?

Tough to walk away. In any situation. Erin is smart and will be able to apply that determination to other areas of her life. That’s what I did. But in the back of your mind it always creeps back in. Rowing is a tough drug to kick.

Excellent interview. Very thoughtful on both sides. Thank you!

Interesting parallel to the GB M8 in the Sydney 2000 Games, when they messed up their heat and had to qualify for the final via the rep. Harry Mahon met them on the dock and said "The dressage is 20 miles that way"

Total respect to Richard for the amazing things he has achieved with Brookes over the last 30 years. After hearing his side of the '92 race vs Exeter College, I can now claim a little bit of credit for all that success as well. As coach of the Exeter College crew, I was in the launch that day. No one disputed that OxPoly should have won that race (the event was already called the Temple) and probably the whole event, indeed the Exeter boys very sportingly offered a rerow, but the verdict was 4L not 1/4L. Jumping out of the boat would have meant instant DQ, although he probably could have jettisoned his oar.

Love the first Q/A at 1:30

51:15 lol

And it was so inspirational to see how you guys did it. It was a driver for us at schoolboy level and a real pleasure to even be at the same outings or regattas as you progressed at senior level. I thnk we did a couple of outings together when I was in the youth VIII at training out of Leander when you were also training - we were with Penny Shuter. Ww were boating in 'Carbon Tiger'a bit whippy since Montreal which I recall we raced in at Mannheim, when you were in the fours. (Remember this boat?) What a great conversation and reminiscence. Amazing to see you all on the tube and talking through all those times.

Agrre about lightweights...Peter Antonie and Steve Hawkins in 92

Bloody hell Sir. Thank you for your incredible 20th C. History. and indeed the row. Born NZ back NZ. Doubt you remember the Praestat boys of Hampton G. But I know we looked up Sir. Never was a knapman always listened and learnt. Thanks. Dave 'Woody' Woodroofe MSc. BA (Hons) QGJM.

Well don dad

See video of Henley 1962.

Amazing interview!! Thanks to both of you.

Wishing you and Mat Tarrant all the best with coaching the Saudi Rowing Squad on the journey to Paris 2024.

My Dad remembers Ernie Barry, Bills Uncle I understood from ths, as a professional coach in Cork Boat Club in the 1950s.

One of best interviews by Crossy that I have listened to so far. Kris's knowledge is immense plus he is a great entertainer. Made me laugh out loud so many times. Thanks guys

and the Race Food..czcams.com/video/TajZpvZUCK4/video.html

Sorry to have missed this interview in real time! Wonderful conversation 🎉🤩😍

Big hand waves from my water to yours..czcams.com/video/TajZpvZUCK4/video.html

Great interview, so honest, I have a lot of respect for Erin. Good luck with OUWBC!

Great interview. What a character!!

All the best to Kris for the next week surgery from Greece .One of the 2021 highlights was the junior w1x from Swiss with Macon blades and low stroke rate. Any comment about her.

That was great again so many insights. Again, great picks! I think you should do a second one again: maybe with Womans Pair and/or Eight, LW Mens Double and/or Womens. And Mens Quad. I will go back and watch this episode again and the 1x final!
