Maybe bcos Smu was never at the top to begin with ?
Where as Nus had a few good runs n pple have high expectations from them ?

Jus perhaps..and for Smu case..
I feel that impression wise
pple are still viewing them as a new team hence fore less expecations as compared to other Unis like Ntu n Nus..

Even in this entire discussion, u seldom see pple praising SIM n SMU..
Due to their performances from years ago.

I feel pple are making judgement based on impression n past results..
Which we all know it's not accurate but is still guilty of doing.

mountbatten was never a darkhorse to begin with. they may not be the favourites to win but that doesn't make them a darkhorse or underdog. safsa didn't have as many nteam paddlers, i guess that makes them a darkhorse too.

i think NUS did well, they trained hard, put up a fight til the end. i feel that their stroke rate was a little faster than the rest, which could be the reason that cost them a neck to neck finish.

yea nus start was ok. just that the maintainence part the stroke rate was abit higher.
but still that is just my opinion. maybe they are train to do so. so let respect them and give them a round of applause.

I agreed. NUS stroke rate is too fast to maintain for the whole 1000m. And i believe their last charge was a burn-out last charge. As i think the boat speed didnt came up, whereas the stroke rate is fast.
