S2 Episode 11: The Senate will decide Rowing's fate
Nov 24, 2020•1 hr 3 min•Season 2Ep. 11
Episode description
Ferg and Tom tackle some of the biggest questions of the sport. Joined by John Wojtiewicz (author of Rowing as a zero billion dollar industry). Phelan Hill (Olympic gold medalist) and Steve O'Connor (CEO Fulham Reach BC), we discuss why rowing hasn't adapted or changed and the steps that need to be taken in order to appeal to the masses but also to make the sport more appealing to investors. We also ask about the future of the sport on an Olympic level and why we shouldn't shy away from charging more and steer towards professionalising rowing rather than being a sport of plucky amateurs. A fascinating discussion.
