  • Alldali is right, Yuri Jaanson is the russian sculler in this final.

  • Thanks for your comment. The French sculler is Pascal Body, several times finalist in the 80's in 2x, 4x and 1X.

  • Passionate rowers, but often we are poor historians. Estonia was Russian in 1987. I think this speaks to the amazing longevity of the great Juri Jaanson.

  • @rowermc Jüri Jaanson is estonian rower not russian

  • Jeez Jaanson- we though Sydney was good, then Athens, now Beijing!!

    Amazing

  • Thanks rowermc for this famous piece of history. Where do you get all these clips? I'm from NZ and rowed there before 1995 Tampere worlds. A beautiful course! So nice to reminisce.

    When I see Eric Verdonk (6th here but 3rd in Seoul), I will tell him of this, I'm sure he would also appreciate it!

  • Yeah, now I heard. The funny thing is, at first I'd been looking at this in my office, without audio: as soon as I plugged the headphones in, I got all the answers to my questions about Jaanson and Body... :^) I was just too happy to see the 1987 final to remember switching the audio on!

  • The speaker says Jaanson - so I guess he is not inventing this. Technique is changing over the years - I am myself 39 years old.

  • Yes, I checked later: sorry for mistrusting you, Alldali :^) he just looked too dark-haired to me, and too stiff on the back to be him. Very young he must have been (38 in 2004 minus 17). I like Tufte (although not Tufte's technique!), but I was really hoping Jaanson would win in Athens. Maybe because I'm 37 ;^)

  • ...and 2nd in Athens in the singles as well. Great Yuri Jaanson. Still I suspect this in the video is actually Vassili Yakoucha (or however this should be written sorry to the Russians out there), 2nd in Moscow 1980.

    PS to rowermc: right, Pascal Body! How could I forget. And he actually closed up on Karppinen in the last 500!

  • You know who rowed here for Russia : Yuri Jaanson !!!! Worldchampion in 1X in 1990 andhe was in final in 2007 in 2X at the world championchips !
