Why Redgrave is a God

I was just looking at the record times posted on the Henley Royal Regatta website, and I saw something ridiculous. The first split, the Barrier, was covered by Redgrave and Clift in the Double Sculls Challenge Cup in 1982 in 1:58. Eleven years later, Redgrave and Pinsent covered the distance in the same time. However, they were in the pair. Their record time for the finish in the pair in 1995 is 6:56. The record time for the double, set in the same year by Jamieson and Gleeson in the same year was one second faster.

Dude. That's nuts.
