In light of the movie being produced of this moment in great sports history, a great time to revisit this American Experience on the 1936 University of Washington team that beat Hitlers Germany at rowing in the Olympics. Fantastic show, and one of the most interesting things was how popular crew rowing used to be! They even ran trains along the races to watch, incredible.
