If you need a little morning pick me up/danger of crying yourself moment head over to Men’s Rowing. The US Men won the first gold medal in the 4-man boat in over 60 years.
It was a close race with a moment in the second half where it felt like New Zealand was gaining momentum but our guys found another gear and surged ahead and won in dominant fashion. They will probably show this during primetime tonight but if you go to the full replay below and head to the very end for the medal ceremony. One of the guys got a little emotional when he received his medal and then I almost got a little emotional on the train right when the conductor was asking for my ticket and I’m pretty sure he was worried about me.
