beccatoriaOMGYAY! I'm horribly out of date with the Olympics and stuff and missed the rowing, BUT my friend's brother was in the coxless four and they won gold! CRAZY!
Also I discovered that apparently he has the largest recorded lung capacity in the world. CRAZY!

Coxless four means that there are four rowers and no man sat at the front yelling "ROW! ROW! ROW!" or whatever it is they yell. I have no idea how many rowing events there are or whether this is one of the larger ones, to be honest, but rowing is one of the few things Britain is Good At sports-wise.
