Yup! Just watched some Olympic rowing (men's singles, I think), and they
compared a rower's short, faster strokes to Armstrong's climbing cadence.

I don't think it can be compared that way; shorter strokes actually
require more strength. However, here's another Armstrong / rowing
comparison, showing insight from fisa.org in a report about the men's
lightweight double sculls: "Like Lance Armstrong, Kucharski and Sycz of
Poland just pop up occasionally for the big one. Hardly seen this season
Kurchaski and Sycz are the current Olympic Champions but do not often
participate in international races."

Well, one can put it on a different perspective: the Italian pair of Luini
and Pettinari - who won every major international race from after the
Sydney Olympics to the Luzern world cup last month - managed once again to
choke for some reason at the Olympic games.

Pettinari had (has) a rib stress fracture.

Are you talking about rowing or [censored] or both.
