Ergo scores don't matter ; Tim Maeyens's best (from Belgium) is something like 5.55 - and he was in the olympic final in skiff in 2004, final 2005-2006. Technique is still the most important thing over strength! But if you have both - then you are lucky ! Wadell has more strength then technique, Drysdale isn't that good technically but he has the ability to let the boat move gently.

@AxelPRC Wrong, he was the better athelte, as a sculler, Drysdale is much better.
-
yeah why cant they just kiss and make up and enter in the mens pair. Im sure they can get gold in London with a combination like that
-
have they ever had a go in the double?
-
@ALLDALI waddell has amazing fluid technique, scullers are strange, good technique is what suits them individually, sculling in singles is different than in crews.
-
@NAXE5 He was referring to the most famous boxing match of all time between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in 1974. It was dubbed The Rumble in the Jungle.
-
Whos Alley Foreman?

@ALLDALI remember that higher weight correlates to higher erg score. look at the watts per kg to get an idea. Maeyen's as a higher value in this calculation, according to the erg score you stated, than rob waddell suprisingly.

Rob makes Mahe look like a panzy...no offense to Mahe hes a great athlete but Waddell is an engine. Its like Alberto Contador and Lance Armstrong in a way. I think its BS that Waddell destroys Mahe so many times and the one time it counts Mahe wins and suddently everyone is like "OMG Mahe is so much better..." besides Waddell had a heart issue. If this was Nat Cohen and Mahe I wouldn't care because no offense to Nat he's not on the same level as Waddell and Mahe...

@ALLDALI yea but tim mayerns has never been in the hunt for an olympic medal in the single. Yea sure ergs only count for soo much but you will never see a olympic champion with a slow erg

They were entered in a double once but I think it got scratched before they had a chance to race it. They have raced a quad together though (Cohen, Trott, Waddell and Drysdale). Apparently it wasn't great.
