It looks like the Greeks are doing well at the World Rowing Championships in Austria...

An excerpt from the above article:

"I have to insert story about how awesome the Greek Rowing Federation is doing in this regatta. Greece, the winners of AJ and JP's JM2- heat, have been dazzling the crowds in Linz. They have qualified several crews for A finals in the JM2-, JM4-, JW4x, and LM2- and narrowly missed qualifying in the JM2x. The way they are doing it, with smaller, underweight crews, who row in such a dynamic manner brings to mind the Italian crews of old. Whatever template they are using, it is working and it inspires. Each day you say to yourself, "no way can that Greek crew do that again tomorrow, they're rowing too high, or they had to give too much." But they keep coming at you and have zero quit in them. Even more fun is had by observing their fan base and their post race celebrations. This is pure, unbridled, genuine enthusiasm folks. I'd like to party with these guys tomorrow night. How do you spell fun? H-E-L-L-A-S."
