Corp000085 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Steven Coppola, who is a friend of mine, won the bronze medal today for the United States in rowing for the eight team. In the interests of full disclosure, his dad and mom are close friends with my parents, with his parents being like second parents to me. I haven't seen Steven in a few years, but hell, its still cool to know that you know someone that won a bronze medal. Also, he and his family are GIGANTIC bills and sabres fans and he's a true ambassador of Buffalo, as we all would be in beijing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I used to row growing up, but unfortunately I stopped growing and never made it past 5-10 and in liverpool where with 4,000 students in the highschool, we had plenty of 6'2" and above that make for better rowers. Always wanted to take it back up again. Its a great sport....congrats to your friend on the bronze Steven Coppola, who is a friend of mine, won the bronze medal today for the United States in rowing for the eight team.

As for the sport, it looks ridiculously difficult. The amount of sustained energy AND coordination makes it seem really really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
