there quite some wind, thats probably the reason there slower than the awesome lw

[TheCarDude1]

omg can you believe it the lightweight was faster than the heavyweight at 6.01

i never thought of that

[huskyrower]

Not hard to figure that one. Look at the flags at the start line and compare them to the flags in the background of the LM4- start. Headwinds make a big difference. Comparing times isn't realistic at all. The same boat could go 45 seconds slower in a headwind vs tailwind. To answer your question, yes, I can believe the lightweights went faster, on the same course, but not at the same time.

@huskyrower

wow i never thaught of that

thanks for the reminder

rowing is by far the best sport ever in my opinion

[bjbjbzz]

@huskyrower Without a doubt though, if they went head to head the Lights would lose.

@bjbjbzz with these athletes yes. but the danes light four used to have the overall world record for fours, not disagreeing, just stating fact.

[bjbjbzz]

@srsly101 They weren't head to head with the fastest heavy 4 ever, so im not convinced. Oh and main words are "Used to"

[srsly101]

@bjbjbzz fact still remains that they did have the world best time for a while which is some achievment for lightweights, like i said im not disagreeing im just stating fact.
