Very good rowing readBy CustomerGood books on rowing are few and far between. Halberstamrsquo;s the Amateurs and Topolski's True Blue being notable exceptions. If you like autobiographies Pinsent's and Foster's are both good. Murray and Bond's new book is on par with the latter two and very much deserves five stars.It's an engaging read that moves along at a decent pace and does an insightful job of showing the reader the life (including challenges) of a an elite endurance athlete.Both men come across as interesting characters, albeit with very different personalities and it is fascinating to see how together they overcame some fairly substantial disappointments to form what is arguably the greatest rowing crew of all time.The relationships with their various coaches are also covered and it is interesting to see how they achieved the results they did under the different styles.Two very minor criticisms. The finals chapters were written shortly after the Rio final and as such don't provide much in the way of retrospective observation, and as a rowing fan it would have been really interesting to have seen a table of their 2k erg times through the years. Small points though in what is a very good book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. An excellent study in great teamwork and unrelenting hard workBy John R. Blackburn Jr.So Eric and Hamish, having just won their second pair of Olympic gold medals in Rio, have just released a biography about their lives. Given the timing, I really wasn't expecting much. But this is really an excellent book, very well written and very compelling in the detailed story that it tells. These supremely talented rowers have managed to be so successful as a pair for a number of reasons, in no small part due to their unrelenting commitment to practicing and perfecting their techniques and endurance, day after day, year after year.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great read and example for aspiring rowersBy @Boston_ScullerRare insights into two remarkable athletes' careers.... beyond talent the importance of goals, commitment, innovating, adapting, setbacks, institutional +/-, and having family/friends to get through it all. Worth the read for anyone thinking about doing something audacious. A gritty story of commitment, self-discovery and the outer limits of human endurance.Hamish Bond and Eric Murray's domination of world rowing is legendary. Double Olympic champions, world record holders and the winners of six World Championship titles in the coxless pair, they have been at the pinnacle of their sport since they captured their first title together in 2009. The Kiwi Pair shares the story of Bond and Murray's unique partnership. Some would describe them as chalk and cheese, two contrasting personalities who nevertheless bring out the best in each other. Join them as they share the secrets to their success, their extreme training regime, the highs and lows of top level sport, and the extraordinary dedication it takes to be world-beating oarsmen. 'This is a story of dedication, and that is a story that is not told often enough.' - Sir Steve Redgrave [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray PDF [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray Epub [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray Ebook [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray Rar [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray Zip [BNb0k.ebook] The Kiwi Pair By Hamish Bond, Eric Murray Read Online.

  • Totally Oarsome…
    Leander New s Leander Club Newslette r Winter 2010 Totally Oarsome… Leander has had another very strong year in 2010. We have produced winning crews at every level and with the World Championships less than a week away, there is promise of yet more success for Leander athletes and coaches in New Zealand. These Championships are two months later than usual to fit in with the New Zealand summer, and as a result it seems strange to be reflecting on the season thus far when it is not yet finished. One of the positives of this situation is that it reduces the amount of winter training that many of us will have to do for the 2011 season! The most recent addition to the team is Beijing silver medallist Debbie Flood, who following a training camp in Germany has been confirmed as competing in the women’s quad - the boat in which she has twice won silver at successive Olympic Games.

  • Rowing - Overview Rowing Is a Sport in Which a Single Player Or a Group of Players Propel a Boat with the Help of Oars
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Rowing - Overview Rowing is a sport in which a single player or a group of players propel a boat with the help of oars. If a single person is rowing, the boat is called single scull and if eight people are rowing then the boat is called coxed eight. The International Rowing Federation is the governing body of the sport that organizes the competitions in different parts of the world. In a large lake, many such competitors sail in the water to exercise their luck. The beauty of this sport is that the oars which are the driving equipment are attached to riggings. They jut out from the side of the boats. The reason behind it is to increase the leverage by positioning them alternately on opposite sides of the vessel. Coxswain steers the boat by sitting at the back. A Brief History of Rowing The history of rowing traces to ancient countries like Egypt, Greece, and Rome. That time it was used as a means of transportation and business proposes. In the year 1828, Oxford Cambridge University organized boat racing for the first time. Sculling and sweep oars were the two earlier categories. Men’s rowing competition was present since the inception of Olympic Games. Except all the events, in the year 1896, a stormy weather in the sea compelled the THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 organisers to cancel the competition which was going to be held in Athens.
