Silly but serious question..

You're going backwards, no cox to steer...how do you steer?? How do they keep straight? Impressive, or something I have missed?

Has Redgrave fooked off, I noticed earlier as the camera cut away that he rolled his eyes and was obviously pi55ed off with Inverdale for not going to him for a comment, he also mentioned before that, that he couldn't get a word in edgewise!

Calling Roger

You must know?!

Missed this one, sorry.

A designated steerer does it, by applying pressure to the rudder via one of their feet. Usually the bow rower but occasionally the stroke.

Never actually seen the set up though for this, so can't give you any more info than that, sorry.

Yeah, saw on wiki after - would love to hear what people like him think about Islam in the west. I doubt his mum is wearing the veil nonsense.

at the end of my link he speaks about islam.

he said if he wins it should hopefully raise awareness again that islam is a positive
religion & shouldn't be seen negatively & hopefully one that's growing & strong &
that is here to stay Crazy also the other competitors learnt alot from him when
he was training & fasting, a side of humility , a side that everyones equal! Crazy

i was hoping we might see the back of it within a couple of years

Well, at least I know how he steered the f**cking boat Mussie or notExcited

they use their feet - rudder.

once in the boat they anchor themselves by sitting on the rubber
stick. In later years they use a lot of pile cream.
