Showing results for "4" in Water Sports

At the 1984 Olympics, the United States rowing team—for the first time in nearly 30 years—had a serious chance to win an Olympic medal in the single sculls. Four genuine challengers emerged for the opportunity to represent the U.S. They competed fiercely in a sport that held no promise of financial reward. What drove these men to endure a physical pain known to no other sport?

In May of 1973, a group of eight divers embarked on an exploration of a sink hole in Australia, since named The Shaft. Unfortunately, their expedition took a horrifying turn. Only four would return alive.

"When does a man quit the sea?" asked E.B. White. "Does he quit while he's ahead, or wait till he makes some major mistake?" Skipper and the crew seem to thrive pushing for the latter. Sailing alongside killer whales. Flying the Canadian flag upside down while coasting blithely into Victoria. Debating who gets left behind the day they have to squeeze into the three-man lifeboat. Interrogated by the US Coast Guard. Running aground. Losing themselves in blinding sea fog. Standing rapt beneath Taps' benediction as the American flag retires in Roche Harbor.
