Does 1:47 count as a world record? Because I know a 1:48 time posted by Team USA back in Sydney was touted as a world record.
I think it's kind of funny that the FCRCC mixed team is faster than the Men's team. Obviously it's the women on that team that pull the weight
lol, I've never heard RS being mentioned in dbwest, nor would i start any, so nothing from me hahah

I dont believe it is even though it's a time recorded from an official festival but i could be wrong. They could actually just say "world record" because it was record time in the worlds, not the whole actual world. But the reason i say i dont believe so is because the worlds/crew championships normally races on a set environments with no tides, just winds (on man made lakes/pool).

Perhaps mixed are faster because men can't be good "strokers"? hahahahhaha
