phelps 6,528 Posted October 1, 2017 #31 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ok, it was the post-Olympic event... OK, some Countries weren't there with their best teams... but wow! Italy did show some magic in Sarasota... today we added to our medal table 3 more medals...1 Gold and 2 Bronze...and one of those 3rd place-finish was the men's Eight, where we last were on the podium 11 years ago at Lake Dorney (London 2012 Olympic venue)... we had 5 boats in the 7 men's Olympic events finals and all of them went on the podium (1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze)... we also won the final Medal Table with 9 medals overall (3-3-3) ahead of NZL with 7 total medals (3-2-2) and AUS with 6 (3-2-1)... but to me the highlight of the day was the hyper-unexpected first loss of the American girls in the Eight after a 10-year domination of this event...I think Romania really did a masterpiece in taking home that win... Rowing is always a wonderful sport... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
