Nine UW rowers who showed up Hitler in 1936 and won gold
http://old.seattletimes.com
Ninety-year-old Jim McMillin runs bony fingers over the cedar bow of the Husky Clipper, which reclines in the Pocock Rowing Center on Lake Union.
“That boat never lost a race,” he said.
Neither did those in it. […]
Certainly, war was brewing in Europe as the Huskies boarded a steamship in New York with the rest of the American Olympic team for the eight-day trip to Hamburg, Germany.
“We didn't care what was going on around us. We had a job to do, and that was win a race,” said Bob Moch, the coxswain of the UW crew. “We were a pretty directed bunch.” […]
Moch, McMillin, Morris and Joe Rantz, who rowed No. 7, are the survivors of the crew, all at or near 90 years old. […]
Aging and anonymous as they might be today, the UW rowers were the talk of the state in the 1930s.
“I was 13 years old, and it was the biggest thing that had ever happened in Seattle,” said Stan Pocock, the son of George Pocock, who built the Husky Clipper. “They might not have been aware of the significance of winning a gold medal in Germany at that time, but people back home were.” […]
Today, national teams, not colleges, represent their countries.
The guys from 1936 don't much like the notion of rowers training full time into their 30 s to be members of national teams.
“We had lives to live, jobs to do,” McMillin said. “We were amateurs.”
Besides the six engineers, Day became a doctor, Moch an attorney and Hume an international business consultant.

Dear Youth, I am standing before you today as a former Olympic champion but also as a father and now even a grandfather. I was born in another century and I was lucky to be born in America. I was able to grow up in peace when other young men in Europe had to kill each other on the battlefields. I was given the opportunity to practice sport and I am very thankful to my parents for this. They always supported me in my decision and even encouraged me! Today, it is your turn to be given this possibility. Whatever the sport you choose, it can be nothing but beneficial to you. If you decide to play football, you will have to build a team spirit with the other players. That's what collective sports are about: a gathering of individuals who, as a whole, can achieve miracles. If you're not into collective sports, then you can go for something more self-challenging like running. Who knows, you may one day become a good marathoner! Do not set yourselves barriers, open up to other people, share you love for sport and life will be sweet. Besides, I would like to underline the importance of sport, be it skiing or scuba diving or even ice-skating, as it is also part of a way of life. The one you decide to follow. I've lost far too many friends whose heart was not strong enough, whose lungs failed them. Scientists are positive, sport is the most efficient way to keep fit and to extend your life expectancy. You may not become a centenarian at the end of the day, but believe me, being a healthy elderly person is much better than being a burden to your family.
