WORLD CHAMPION - 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships - Men's 23-39 2000m

Have a look at the Men's 23-39 2000m race at day 2 of the 2024 World Rowing Indoor Championships presented by Concept2.
Belgium's Ward Lemmelijn wanted to break the world record of 5:35.8 today, but fell short - however he still produced a storming and dominant performance to win the men's 23-39 category in 5:43.2.
Michał Szpakowski of Poland is second, racing virtually, with Jakub Podrazil of Czechia winning bronze at home.

Good job guys

Bon courage

[@ericmharper]

Do you have to use a Concept2 rowing machine or can you use a Hydrow to compete?

[@Armaanx7]

Take a fucking guess mate

[@anyab882]

Is high stroke rate the way to go for 2k?

[@KellenProctor]

With some of these guys holding 35-40, apparently so!!

[@zoolookers]

Surely online joining is completely unfair? You have more oxygen, temperature can be different and latitude is different. In addition you can do it somewhere where you are comfortable.

Agreed, not the same at all.

[@sebdodds7381]

Agree - humidity is very important! Ridiculous!
