This spring I posted an entry called "Coach Twins." This entry is also about rowing twins, more specifically the Winklevoss twins.
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss of Greenwich, Connecticut placed sixth in the men's pairs event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They are also featured in the new film, The Social Network, based on the rise of Facebook. It is thought that Mark Zuckerberg used code he created for the Winklevoss' ConnectU to later launch thefacebook.com. The Winklevoss' later confidentially settled for $65 million but continued pursuing their rowing dreams.
Dan Boyne of Row2K has a new feature column that will explore what went into filming the rowing portion of The Social Network: Rowing and the Art of the Social Network—Part I - (row2k features).
Wow, Rachael. It's crew porn!
