Second place is the first loser.

Our schoolboy crew could have won this. Shore 1996.

geeze, just watching this gave me that feeling right before a race when your heart skips like 30 beats >.<

PS. See a beautiful clip from the great LA games film, "16days of glory" about this event.. Search "16 days of Glory" and "Rowing"

The US commentators were abit out of touch, referring to the "Huge Upset" by Canada.
At the big pre-olympic regatta at Lucerne, the US and Canada had split their series of two finals. They'd BOTH beaten the East Germans, who were the best of the boycotting Eastern Block nations. (the boycott in retribution for us boycotting the 1980 games .... over, ironically the invasion of Afghanistan)
The disappointment must have been palpable for the Kiwis, however. (they weren't at Lucerne)
