so far there isn't much of a correlation. In fact there is a slight inverse relationship (probably spurious).
This is the opposite of what I would expect, the hypothesis being slower times->faster stream->greater Berks advantage
However, as mentioned, in close races Bucks tends to prevail.
Victories 1L or less = Blue, 1/2L or less = Silver
The % winners coming from either side has varied, but in all but three years Berks has won more than Bucks since 1999
For my part, I hope @BritishRowing and the GB Squad become more open and embrace the wider rowing community again. Things that led to @RowingVoice tweeting the below shouldn't happen again. After all, 'success has many fathers, while defeat is an orphan'
Apparently this is the solution to the rowing drag equation (according to Wolfram Alpha). Mind =🤯
Genuinely the longest equation I've ever seen...
(Part of a project to adjust times for river flow, wind and water temperature, since you didn't ask)
Just in time for the start of World Champs - new data added: World Rowing Cup 3. Thanks to @stefanpaetow for super scraping! #wrchamps
