CRASH-B 2010 Junior Heavyweight Men Felix Bach 5 51.8

[Oddjob105]

How does he keep his cool when that coach starts patting him? I hate being touched by anything after a 2k

[1eyedjack3]

@Oddjob105

i know that feel

[sportsdude9999]

what kind of erg workouts does he do?

[AlexusHH]

That Guys so long and big, and is still doeing the Strokerate of them little Girls :D

[775marco]

machine

[MrBenwaah]

6:35 cheetah robe? okay...

[NicIsSik]

wouldn't of got a score like that without the help of the girl next to him giving him competition

[megaman1025]

F*** YAH I WAS THERE FOR THAT!!!

[appanges]

He can't even bend his legs all the way.

[McLovinn21]

I'm a freshman in college, I pulled a 6:29 and FLIPPED out just because I Broke 6:30. This guy makes me feel terrible about myself lol

[tubby92288]

he doesnt even look like hes working hard..

[MsInformed01]

that chick next to him isn't even trying.

[denverbartini]

Wow... thats impressive considering how shitty his form is haha. If he got a good coach to fix his form he could drop these times a lot

[amschade87]

@denverbartini getting good erg scores is less about technique than it is fitness...and I think this guy has form down since he won the single at junior worlds.

[ausTopGear]

he was obviously trying to impress the girl next to him

[dragonz94]

how the hell do girls like that get into the crash-b's?

[Fieldofgoats]

I like how the announcer goes "1:12" split and the girl looks over at him lol.

[bballben93]

this is nuts

[IQWalkthroughsandpig]

Does anyone else notice what setting his fan is on??? holy crap...

[TheBurgooKing]

bad form

[RJLyrixTV]

Daaaamn

[mammers11]

he'll be bach...

[absegamifrosh8]

what the heck, he does a 2k on a 7 fan?

[Fastback91]

@absegamifrosh8 i know i was thinking the same thing

[ugukennedy1]

@absegamifrosh8 teah wtf?

[xPERVKITTEHx]

Anyone else notice he's opening his back way to early.

[PapaJohnsOfCapeCod]

I am impressed! I just want to get below 8:00

[bectes1995]

@PapaJohnsOfCapeCod dont worry, youll get there :P

[PapaJohnsOfCapeCod]

@PapaJohnsOfCapeCod I hope so because patience is not a virtue I possess. :P

[fewduh3]

his drag factor is RIDICULOUS

[charlesyak12392]

He is freaking huge and that erg score is freaking amazing. He is well on his way to being a national team and olympic rower. easily that score is crazy for his age.

[owentheman1]

his damper is all the way up to like 7... holy shit

[bectes1995]

@owentheman1 Its all training

[LucasNL]

God, thats fast for a junior

[neoplastron]

little girl looks at him and think "GOD IS REAL!"

[rellikmeat]

why don't u make a start like on the water? like 3/4 1/2 1/2 3/4 1 lenght of the stroke?

[EvanEatsPie]

@rellikmeat waste of time tbh.....

[zss1588]

@mnpudge thats incredible

this is insane!

[friendmeph]

he looks like hes fucking 30. absurd.

[feverhood]

@friendmeph becouse his parents were feeding him with anabolic steroids since he was 10...

We have some "monsters" in our country too. One guy doesn't even have a beard yet, and his biceps are about 45cm.. How normal is that?

[iamtherisingsun]

how "small" the women look next to him!!!

Deutsche Qualität!!!

Gruß aus Hessen

[phidoo93]

Yes, i agree with you!

He actually IS junior world champion!!!

He´s amazing!!!

[redhead2256]

hey wait a second hes not a girl

[TheLolympian]

What's that damper? 8?

[zhangman92792]

@TheLolympian yaa dude his drag factor is at 8 thats fucking nuts

[manofpopsicle516]

@TheLolympian Yeah I was guessing an 8 too.

[NoNamesAvailableHuh]

@TheLolympian yup

[NoNamesAvailableHuh]

"Ok you can stop patting me now..." jesus lol

[bectes1995]

@TheLolympian looks like 6-8 yeah..cant see although O.o

[Sanomed]

I know him :)

[helloworldthisisme12]

ahahaha him breaking his erg was great!

[condor949]

look at his drag!! its like at 7-8!!

[TheMettinator]

@ inspirationtube : he's junior world champion in the single skull.

oh yes this weekend i am going to challange with him at munich in 4x !

[NWKMB]

@TheMettinator Good luck, i really wanted to race him but am in the other heat :c will have to wait for final!

[TheMettinator]

@NWKMB thank you !

where are you from and which boat are you ?

[NWKMB]

@TheMettinator I'm in the GB boat unless the decide to make a last minute change, which are you in?

[TheMettinator]

@NWKMB i am matthias tabo. in austria boat 1

[idshemat]

oh man felix bach is so ein FREAK!!^^

zum Glück bin ich leicht^^ (German)

[phillies80]

At these events your going to see great scores but a lot of shitty rowing.

[Entropy56]

How'd he slide his feet out so easily?

[ThatBigRezKid]

he made that looks easy, he is such a beast

[HIERDNUIZ]

Just shows how unprofessional Crash B's are. They give full recognition to this guys before/during/after his piece. Without giving any commentary on any of the other athletes. Good job.

[iKnowWhatImDoing123]

i dont think anyone cares. If i were one of those girls, i'd care more about his piece than my own, honestly.

[VikingDeluxe]

Karsten Brodowski who made the world record in 5:47 also comes from Potsdam ;-)

[VikingDeluxe]

Felix is present the best german "junior" sculler. Nobody of our juniors question his superiority. i can imagine that he will start also as a man this year. For those who do not know it felix comes from potsdam. Also the Landvoigt brothers and kathrin boron rowed there.

[ScreamingJello]

Haha, the faces of the girls around him.

[badocter]

Oustanding row by Felix "the chainbreaker" Bach. Usually the erg breaks people...not often is it the other way round. >:-)

[inspirationtube]

this kid doesn't even look like he is tired at the end of this erg piece. he just sits there...this kid will be a world champion someday if he keeps up his training and is focused with his goals.

Also, this is the oldest looking 18 year old of all time in my opinion.

[phidoo93]

@inspirationtube

Yes, i agree with you!

He actually IS junior world champion!!!

He´s amazing!!!

[Firestarter143]

@inspirationtube he already is the world champion in the junior a single ;)

[bectes1995]

@inspirationtube There are ppl that look older than you but later it comes up that they are younger than you XD

[OfficeAddict94]

@inspirationtube he is a world champion...he gots first in the mens 1x at junior worlds in czech

[markventresca]

@inspirationtube he is a 2 time junior world champion already :S

[jcbnye]

@inspirationtube Idk he looks pretty winded haha

[gaastra60]

can he row? plenty of people can erg well.

he doesnt look like a junior either though.

fan setting is not on 10, looks like 7, and we have no idea what drag factor that actually is

[spitboi7]

He won gold at FISA Junior Worlds last summer in the 1X, he can row better than you ever will and hes only 17.

He has the most insane sprints if you have seen him row, he got from 4th to 1st in his last 250m last summer.

[gaastra60]

@spitboi7 guarantee I could beat him in a 250m erg.

[spitboi7]

@gaastra60 No...you can't.

[bectes1995]

@gaastra60 U joking right? He would pwn your ass in 250m like nothing

[crinoidcounter]

Dude is a machine...great form!

[InuJF]

It was awesome being there and watching the erg break lol. Come to crash b's next year! It's free admission to watch

[VikingDeluxe]

i am a good friend of felix and i promise you that this time in bosten was only training for him and i think he could be faster then tim grohman ^^

[itsbeanawhile]

what was his strokes/min? he is so relaxed, i would be happy to break 7 right now!

[TLRdude]

The dude has a major power stroke, 32 pulls running 1.25's set on 10 is some shit. I would like to see how many meters he can cover in an hour.

[paigntonleisureclub]

a rather special talent emerges......awesome.

[mnpudge]

is that good?

[CommunityOrganizer1]

Freakishly Great.

[k2477456]

@CommunityOrganizer1 insanely great the overall world record is 5:34

[mnpudge]

we should just power the planet with ergs...

[8grimsby8]

@mnpudge no one likes to erg tho ;)

[k2477456]

@mnpudge *he should just power the planet with his erg

[8grimsby8]

@mnpudge he probbs got a full ride to yale after that

[helPeror]

@mnpudge

no, thats not good. that's god right there.

[MEmaddux73]

Congratulations Felix! Excellent performance, especially under the circumstances! It was very exciting to watch you row!!

[jhstew08]

am i the only one who's curious how the girl in the green did?

[VTpride37]

she came in last with a time of 9 something...he was done off the erg and into the locker room by the time the other girls hit the 500 meter mark lol it was amazing

[iKnowWhatImDoing123]

nope, im wonderin too.

she seemed very preoccupied with felix's and the other girl's monitors.

[SriLankanMonkey]

Absolutely incredible.

[Bigwill0504]

holy.

shit.
