Reflections & Road to LA 2028

In this episode we break down the performances celebrating medals in the men’s eight and four while asking whether a win in the eight was within reach. 

We discuss the focus for this Olympic cycle, including stroke selection and athlete development. 

We also address lingering questions about Mike Teti and Tom Terhaar’s involvement, highlight new faces on the squad, and explore the future of the lightweights developing on the open squad. Other key topics include notable absences this year, Clark Dean in the single, and the impact of embedded scientists in high-performance rowing.

On the women’s, we analyze whether anything went wrong at the Olympics. We also discuss coaching contracts, the importance of the March Speed Order, and long-term goals for LA 2028.

A must-listen for anyone invested in the future of U.S. rowing!
