Congrats to all the great rowers of the Venezia! Quite an accomplishment. Maybe it helped that their boat was red - a powerful color?

And I was really pleased to see the "rivals" applaud the winners. Not often these days do we see that kind of sportsmanship!

Great photos, as usual!

@ Luis, Dina - I didn't take these pictures, my friend Maurizio did, from his boat.
