The ISU tragedy reminded me to post this recommendation. I finished the book in early March and highly recommend it.
Didn't realize how popular crew was in the 1920's and 1930's.
It's a story of young men growing up poor, trying to make ends meet and earn enough money to attend college.
Ultimately they came together to win championships and Olympic Gold.
Side stories on George Pocock the great designer and builder of racing shells.
And a little bit of Germany's "preparation" for the 1936 Olympics.
