I often come back to this video. Your speed and efficiency between 500 and 250 is out of this world. Also I love the honesty and modesty of the commentary. All the best from Italy!
Very cool Xeno, I always thought that was one of the most exciting singles finishes in recent Olympic history. And now we have the Directors Cut! Love it!
Amazing you didn’t use back arms!! Mind you that is a pretty innovative rigger design for the times! I was coached by Marty’s brother Dave😁. How heavy was the camera on the stern?
Thank you Xeno for posting this. I love to watch your narrations before I race; it calms me down when I feel nervous and at the same time inspires me to strive for the highest place I can achieve. There are a couple of videos out there of you being interviewed in German; are there translations of these interviews anywhere?
My goodness, Xeno... Open water on Thomas Lange, and getting his embrace and congrats at the end. And on Derek Porter... I get shivers each time I look at this again. My heroes, all three of you. Thanks for sharing this, although I may be repeating myself ;^)
You broke those guys at the end.
Very impressive.

" i beat you . " he says . keep dreaming little boy .
This is the most incredible single scull performance of all time in my opinion.
Imagine four of them in a quad...
7:55 relatable
like the description how you prefer to rate higher rather than feel like you're pushing a tank !!
2 strikes against you and still won gold. Amazing
what was youe 2k?
7:50 Just curious, what did you mean you couldn’t believe there were 20 strokes to go? Bc it felt like too few or too many strokes left?
My understanding - it was a surreal moment for Xeno with only 20 strokes to go. Everything he had trained for, his dreams, were just 20 strokes away
