The eight is the true barnburner of the sport, one of the most demanding and hellacious races known to man. A grueling powerfest bracketed by a flat-out sprint at both ends of the race, the eight combines rhythm, teamwork, synchronization, power, fiery intensity and absurd levels of physical exertion into "five and a half minutes in the hurt locker."
