Didn't mean to sound like a douchebag...sorry. If you read most people's comments, there is a general concensus that his technique is excellent. I just got the feeling that you were posting your comments just for the sake of saying something critical.... I've a lot of experience paddling, and I can tell you I would give anything to have a technique like that. Anyway, just my opinion....
His arms are crossing over acceptably(can really throw strong arms and body rotation into stroke) To me it looks like the exit is sloppy. A lot of splash, seems like hes already into the next catch before finishing the previous strokes exit. Definitely will waste energy and slow the surf ski. Of course easier said than done, I don't have a gold medal..... yet LOL! :D
@TheTruthHurtsYup You are full of shit mate!!!! his exit is very good, there isn't alot of water being lifted there....Spanish paddlers tend to have to best techniques around, because they're a bit smaller than average, they need to get the technical side right.....and it ain't a surfski
@davefk1 you are right it isn't a surfski, my typo, sorry. Like I said, I'm not pro, it was just my opinion. Don't have to be such a douchebag about it
Enhorabuena campeón. Fue una gran y agradable sorpresa y por supuesto, muchas gracias por hacer realidad nuestros sueños. Que disfruteis de vuestra victoria y que vengan muchas más ;-)

Saul craviotto no es español , es italiano , por mucho que su padre , abuelo o bisabuelo nacieran en España como él , su tatarabuelo o su tatarabuelo 4 era italiano.
un español de de padre español con mujer europea mínimo. No puede tener el 1º apellido extranjero significaria que el esperma es extranjero.
Coño no necesitamos a italianos que nos den medallas , queremos españoles , no panchitos , negros o moros , que a senna españa le hizo grande y no al reves en la eurocopa
q tonterias dices! Saul es español,y seguro q mucho más que tú,y ha demostrado de donde se siente,y porque país está orgulloso por competir, y llevando nuestra bandera española a lo más alto.
Lo que es una lastima laugartez ,es que tú seas español.
Xo q atrevida es la ignorancia!!Saul es policia nacional x si no lo sabes y uno de los requisitos xa serlo es SER ESPAÑOL q no t enteras y metes la pata hasta el fondo laugartez.

yea just think how much fatser he could of been if he sorted his tecnique out
dellrey1234 2 years ago
lol, fair enough, but to my eye he doesn't cross over much more than Brabants, Van Koeverden or Larsen, so he's in good company.
