Jurgen Grobler’s Olympic coaching career is one of legend, yet the man himself has remained resolutely out of the spotlight. Over the last 20 years he has masterminded British Rowing’s incomparable success. And when the difference between gold and silver can mean mere fractions of a second, Jurgen Grobler has consistently delivered Olympic gold through various boat classes and with an ever-changing group of athletes.

Narration by Monty Python
Revisado: 12-26-18
The material is certainly interesting, but the narrator for the audiobook appears to have been seconded by the Monty Python team. I'm listening to this as I push out steady state miles on the ergo and I've nearly capsized a few times, the mispronunciations are so hilariously bad.
Where is that Great Lake? Ont-AAAhrio of course! Who is the legendary British Double sculler? Chris Baaah-Yeah-Loo. The British Minister for Sport under Thatcher? Colin Moy-A-Cneean. And the famous GDR sports institute was in Leap-zig? The boat manufacturer "Em-paTcher", the regatta at LuKern; Thh-Omi Keller; Thomas Lanja; Los Angeles medalist Richard Budd-Get (seriously, you have to work really hard to get that one wrong).
If there's a route from A to B in pronouncing a name, he travels via C and D. Letters get thrown in, dropped out, swapped around. A few more: Harry May-Han, STEVE Bowden, HARRY Herbert, May Drysdale, St Katharina’s dock, bow seat pronounced as in bow-tie
Impeverous for impervious
Partitioned vs partisan
Pen-REEth vs Penrith
CAN-BEERa
Kleidiascopic
I finally realized that he's just doing it to wind up the audience when he mispronounced:
US President, Ronald REEgan
and, for a coup de grace, repeated throughout - and, of course, featuring rather frequently - "Matthew Pin-Sett".
