This was a chintriguing POV. I still think the sport will suffer because it is so unrelatable to people. Most of us have run or swam, but few people have ever been in a shell.

    Interesting piece SwayeBoat. I find myself strangley disinterested in whether or not there is a rowing Michael Phelps or Lindsey Vonn. Let those sports have their prime time TV every 4 years and rowing can keep being mostly a college affair on the coasts.

    Good poonts @BearsWiin . Agree.

    We need to put the rowing train back on the Burke Gillman trail. Cool footage here of UW vs Cal in Seattle in 1936, back when the race was 4 miles long on Lake Worshington.
