    "Wherever you are, scream and shout at the tv!" I have to admit that when i watcht this live i did. Defenetly the most exiting rowing race in the olympics
  • @anthonybg1000
    I remember watching this live and I remember the relief I was feeling when the commentator said "there through there through". Definatly one of the greatest moments of beijing 2008 for me.
  • @sarahjane4eva
    I watched that race at the time and it has to be one of the greatest sports commentary moments of all time
  • @seandiviney7381
    Just seeing this now...years later..watched it live at the time. The commentary was by Gary Herbert, Olympic Gold Coxwain in Coxed Pair with Searle Brothers, my heroes as a young rower...absolutely fantastic by Tridges-Hodge and the lads💪💪
  • @manlikeswitcher
    one of the best moments in the olympics for GB absolutely fantastic
  • Why is this not included in any of the greatest commentary moments of all time? This video brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times i watch this.
  • @digitalwarfares
    I remember that moment live on TV, literally wanting to stand up and shout at the TV. As sad as it sounds I did it anyways. They had the hopes of a nation hanging on their shoulders and they didn't let us down. The commentator shouting the British are Coming just proves how much it meant to him, let alone team GB. Poetry in motion!
  • @digitalwarfares
    I tell you what... When this was live I had tingles running up and down my spine. Watching this (with addition of the music) and regardless how many times I watch it - I still get those tingles.
  • @Jems17
    That commentary gives me goosebumps every time I hear it!
  • @HelenReid17

  • @marsben02

  • @muttface1996
    replay of that just the other night! came down to australia and great britain once more!
  • @debx2000
    After days of searching and many restless nights I have found it what the music is. It is 'Madokara Mieru (Instrumental)' by Corner Stone Cues on an album called Eton Path.
  • @smbannister
    debx, I'm forever in your debt. Don't know how you found it out, but thank you, thank you, thank you! :)
  • @matt925b
    I cried my eyes out and am proud to admit so. Whatever people think of GB, when they are coming up behind in the rowing, people mess themselves as we will win.
  • @m1cerva

  • @steveng05
    Garry Herbert - he was the cox for Johnny & Greg Searle when they won in Barcelona 92. Best commentator in sport.
