Olympic medallists and World Champions Will Satch and George Nash headed a cast of GB’s top male rowers who broke off from their Rio 2016 training to shimmy and samba with the best.

In a unique twist, a GB Rowing Team men’s eight danced on water and on land for the Strictly routine. Although the on water routine is not recommended for viewers at home to attempt, watching it you will appreciate the high level of skill needed to mix such skills as dancing and rowing.

Shoulder shaking and hips moving, Team members Nash and Satch plus Paul Bennett, Tom Ransley, Matt Langridge, Oli Cook, Scott Durant and Matt Gotrel show off their dance moves here: www.youtube.com/TheGBRowingTeam

George Nash, a 2012 Olympic medallist and now three-times World Champion (2013-2015) said: “It was great fun filming the video and working with Joanna Clifton. I wouldn’t say our dancing was stellar but we gave it everything in the 90 minutes practice we had between training”.
