"Is it worth it?".....5 Olympic Gold medals and a living legend who will be spoken about in rowing Folklore for a very long time......its been totally worth it Sir Steve!
His daughter screaming "c'mon Bwitain" was priceless. The passion in her face brings a tear to the eye everytime I watch this video and i watch it on a regular basis anytime i need cheering up. Surely he has to light the Olympic flame in the stadium. Absolute legend.
5 Gold Medals in Olympics. 9 Gold Medals in World Championships. 3 Gold Medals in Common Wealth Games. Total 17 Gold Medals. Sir Steve Redgrave (GBR) one of the greatest rowers of all time... 👍👍👍👍.... 👏👏👏👏....
No one will ever really understand the pain and suffering he went through to get these medals. He is quite possibly the greatest olympian of our generation. Arise Sir Steve
These two men are two of Britain's best ever sportsmen. They deserve to be honoured. This video brings honour to them. They put life and limb on line to push for every last inch that they can to honour their country. Incredible video.
This is honestly my favourite video of all time. What he achieved was absolutely amazing, the determination he has is mad! I was inspired to start rowing because of him, and British Rowing (and British Sport in general) are so lucky to have such inspirational and amazing role models! Well made video BBC and thankyou for uploading :) x
@Mairsyboy It was a team effort, but he gold Gold in no less than FIVE Olympics. The Olympics is every 4 years. That means he has been consistently the best for 20 years! No other athlete can boast that kind of presence. This is why he was given a knighthood. He is a shining example of British Sportsmanship and probably the best sportsman these great isles have ever produced.
I wish the video had been shot to reveal more of Redgrave's rowing techniques, particularly his reach and the timing of his release and recovery, The human interest fluff that makes up most of this video is unimportant. How this extraordinary athlete moved in the boat was truly important. It's an opportunity lost.
"Good video! At the IMD OWP 2010 Matthew Pinsent will share his experience from four Olympic campaigns, which resulted in four gold medals. He will highlight the importance of goal setting, communication, trust and ultimately the courage it takes to win in the toughest of conditions. "
For a country with a population that is a fraction of USA and China we sure do punch above our weight at Olympics Why because we are inspired by the likes of Redgrave Hoy Farah the Kennys Wiggins etc etc
@PAINdoctor94 Tim Foster is a legend in his own right. I laugh when people call him the small one. He was ripped when I met him. He seemed to be a really nice guy as well.
has anyone got a video of Steve Rider interveiwing the rowers as they come off the boat only for him to totally be ignorant about Matthew Pinsent and keep looking over to Redgrave. I hated Rider and how but after that he became a poo smell.
people should remember the steve won his first two golds with andy holmes.who died last week at the age of only 51.another great oarsman.
R.I.P andy

That's Twenty Years of being the absolute best in the world. Probably the greatest living Olympian - also doing it with Type 1 diabetes.

Amazing, an outstanding video and great choice of music as well. Thankyou-spine tingling!
Brilliant video, makes a refreshing change to watch a well thought out and produced vid on here!
Ten years on, you are truly our greatest ever Olympian Steve, one of the worlds best ever.
It's truly a modern odyssey...
Always watch this before a 2000m piece....gets me through it.
Wwwaaaaoooo Great man
Love from Lahore Pakistan Best wishes

20 years of effort, no doubt about it, but 16 years of being the best!
Still the greatest rowing video of all time
Tears
Legend

i get goosebumps at the start of the race
superb.
Sir Steve Redgrave is my rolemodel, mein Vorbild!!!
@cobberzlion It is, but the duration between his first and last medal is from 1984 to 2000. 5 Olympic games requires a 16 year period.
@awrootbeerlover i think its called 'now we are free' its from the film Gladiator:)
I'm participating in a row to Russia for charity with work soon, I'll watch this clip for motivation.
omg sick vid what is the song played in this video

Greatest Olympian of all time
The fact that I'm a rower is irrelevant... that put a lump in my throat.
my form group for school is called redgrave we love him !!!!

20 years...
@empt60 no, 5 times 4 is 20
I'm not gonna lie.... I shed a tear
well done
@cobberzlion Serious, O.G.-4 years-O.G-4 years-O.G. 4 years-O.G. 4years-O.G. 5 Olympic games, 16 years between the first and the last.
what is the know of the song?
i fell sorry for the people that came last they lost so badly
For a country with a population that is a fraction of USA and China we sure do punch above our weight at Olympics Why because we are inspired by the likes of Redgrave Hoy Farah the Kennys Wiggins etc etc

@Nessiechan 16 years, but I agree with the rest ;)
Hear, hear.

@deathmonk1992
Athens Olympics versus the Canadian 4.
How is called this song?
Now we are free
ISn't this the theme track from the Athens Olympics?
Gladiator
yeah he passed out
NEED A LOVE BUTTON
No doubt it's a great video, although its a shame you're taking the credit for it whilst not mentioning the fact that it's actually a BBC video.
0:41 does he faint
No he died
3 people have no souls
music is a bit gay
6 people down voted this video! Muppets!!!!!!!
has anyone got a video of Steve Rider interveiwing the rowers as they come off the boat only for him to totally be ignorant about Matthew Pinsent and keep looking over to Redgrave. I hated Rider and how but after that he became a poo smell.
