First discussion thread! Taking a break from our usual Video of the Week to ask what you’d love to see from rowing media, in terms of both coverage and editorial, in the future.
Discussion on where the sport is heading. Are the Olympics still the pinnacle? Why aren't World Champs rated so well? Will FISA ever stop being euro-centric? What's happening with lighties? Will 2K races continue to be the standard? Can the World Professional Sculling Trophy be revived - I like the idea of challengers trying to knock off the champ in match races at a time, distance and place of the Champ's choosing. Coastal rowing seems to be a thing these days, but surf boats have been around for over a century - what's the difference, why don't we embrace surfies as rowers?
An interview with Steve Peterson (Indiana University). Features for Master Rowers, such as how to teach adults to row, how to keep masters motivated for the long haul, and the problem of who will be the coxswain!
