Sculling Technique – 2

Videos

Below is a video of Xeno Muller, in which he discusses the various components of his sculling technique. A lot can be learned from watching this video.

The video on the left below is a collage of clips (with good music), both sweep and sculling, from the Olympics; particularly, look for the Polish double (red unisuits over white shirts). The one on the right is from a steady state practice session of the Polish Men’s Quad, which won gold at the Beijing Olympics. These are big guys, but watch for their aggressive, unified drive phase and smooth release, not disturbing the boat and allowing it to run out to the fullest extent before placing the blades once again.
