The two-year-old dynasty ended here Tokyo Olympics The British men’s rudderless quartet failed to win gold for the first time since 1996.
With their habitual dominance of the five Olympics, Olycook, Matrosit, Rory Gibbs and Shoto Carnegie completely collapsed in the final moments of the game.
Pushing the four Australians who dominated the entire 2000 meters, they strayed frantically and entered the Italian in their lane outside, falling from a silver medal to fourth in the final shot of the race.
In this process, they also let the Italians deviate from the track in the process of competing for the gold or silver medal. Under the guidance of respected coach Jurgen Grobler (Jurgen Grobler), this marked the regrettable end of an extraordinary hegemony, who left GB after long-term establishment of Tokyo and retirement.
It remains to be seen how different his coach will make. This may be enough to summarize how the British team fell from the leader to no medals in their flagship game.
Earlier, the men’s double sculls and women’s rudderless limbs also finished fourth, but Wednesday’s focus was on the men’s four, each with its own story.
In the 2012 London Olympics, Rossiter had to compete for a seat on any Olympic rowing boat due to injury, and he was therefore forced to sell goods in Queen Elizabeth Park in London.
Or Carnegie, whose relaxing idea is to visit an art gallery and sit in the most prestigious seat on the ship at four o’clock.
At the same time, Gibbs just turned boating When injuries forced him to give up his first sports hobby of rugby and complete the team that had won the European championship earlier this year, Cook.
Cook started rowing in his 40s. His father introduced him to the sport. Cook joked that taking him with him was just a “cheap nanny”.
Cook and his brother Jamie both love the sport and became a member of the Oxford team together, winning the rowing competition in 2017.
On the second day after the typhoon-like weather, under windy but sunny conditions, Cook and his crew just couldn’t win another victory, or just won a medal for it.
