Video of the Week: Oxford Brookes Armada
USRowing Junior Nationals | Reflecting on Euro Champs and IRAs | Gearing up for World Cup III
Brookes Rowing is not only taking performance on the water to new heights, but also their camera angles. All banter aside, this video brings home just how impressive their program(me) has become over the past several years—everything from the coordination of the crews to the technical approach hints at the level Brookes has reached. Also, when can we get an invitation to Wimbleball? 👀💯
