Greatest Races Week 32

In 1984 Paul Enquist and Brad Lewis became a big part of American Rowing History winning olympic gold. Brad wrote about his exploits in "Assault on Lake Casistas" and a tattered, outlined, and notated copy can be found on nearly every American Rower's bookshelf. But they were certainly not the only story at this Olympiad. The U.S. took home one of the most impressive medal hulls in recent history claiming, 2 golds (Men's 2x and Women's 8+), 5 silver (M4+, M4-, M8+, W1x, and W 4x) and 1 bronze (M2+). A heroic result for the American team. Above is one of the most incredible races of the bunch as the Men's 4+ nearly walked through legend, Steven Redgrave. Coxed by John Stillings, this Penn AC/Vesper composite boat boasted Edward Ives, Thomas N. Kiefer, Michael Bach, and Greg T. Springer.
