Men's Eight (M8+)

Pre-Race Analysis and Prediction

Repechage Heat 1

Top 2 crews to FA final, other to FB final.

Prediction

With 500 to go, these three crews are projected to be one-half length apart at most. USA's final 500 meter kick should propel it to a victory, which it badly needs after its heat loss to CRO. The following race prediction report is based on a straight mix of these crews' times in their heats, and shows CAN being rowed down by ROM in the last 500 meters, giving ROM the second qualifying spot in the FA final with the USA.

ROM has a good kick at the end, and CAN needs to bear down if it has the 1500 meter lead over ROM and match any move ROM makes in the last 50 strokes of this race to preserve its chance for the FA final qualification.
