See... This is what happens when you RUSH! The tracks get hot and soon they get to the point where they combust!

Asking Larry to focus on his handle heights and his posture was just to much for him.

my coach usually says i should see my dead relatives at 300m to go... not become one of them.

Holding a rate of 54 through the first 1250m proved unsustainable. Someone in the eight that just passed took the coxswain's call to "drop a bomb" a little too literally.

You can only tell someone so many times to not sky their blade... until this happenes

The coach was telling his sculler all season, bad things can happen if you don't follow the traffic pattern.

how on earth would you not notice that someone had put a bomb in your single the moment you took it out of the rack?

While athletes have been reluctant to embrace the new "sudden death" format, it has seriously boosted media coverage of the sport.

waste - should be waste. much too early for cognitive thought.

I think they should have put charges in the bow and stern tanks for a more complete effect. If you're gonna blow stuff up... do it all the way!

Did you see the duck at the end... Poor little guy. He must have seen thousands of shells go by. Not once did one ever blow up. It must have scared the hell out of him. He's probably still flying!

No, he stopped long enough to crap all over Capital Rowing Club's dock on the Anacostia just downstream. Way to much doo-doo on the dock yesterday.

It was done for an FBI tv show, and I'm wondering what ON EARTH could the plot be where you need to blow up a single sculler!?

Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported. All that was left was a little green globule on his seat, but more of a stain than a globule really.

"He blew up with 500 to go" Starboard blade: either he's backing or the oars are in backwards? Graffiti on pier is apropos.
