Less than 1/2 second slower than the Olympic Record in a Vespoli!

R.I.P. Ibrahim Ali! You were a very nice and strong rower. Saw you on Bled in 2000, will never forget how your coach always shouted from the coast :"Line Ali, line!!" :)

I just realized Ali Ibrahim had passed away. Probably one of the highest achieving Arab Rowers. My respects and condolences go to his family. I hope more Arab Athletes would follow his footsteps and dedication to this sport.

He is very powerful and has very nice technique! He connects legs and back even better than Mahe.

Bit of trivia... Jamie and I were recruited for the Brown University Crew. He sat 5 and I 4. It was great having him sit in front of me. Felt a sense of security rowing 4 seat and watching Jamie's back come at me when we raced other teams. It was hard for me to be "friendly" after '97, when I got back in the single scull. I believe that between Jamie and me there had always been healthy dose of competition before friendship. He might feel differently. Now it is all water under the bridge

I have to add, that in 1992, during our winter training in Augusta Georgia, Jamie and I took out a double scull for a few meters, the power I felt when we took some hard strokes was beautiful. If I were to row for the 2012 Olympics I would want to do it in the double.
