Congrats Zach! You guys were amazing to watch. During that last 20 strokes I was thinking of you calling it out to the guys out on Briones the last week before you left. You got some great facetime on tv . Fantastic. Now Zack and TJ are just bummed you won’t be in the reps that they got tickets for ! Can’t wait for the finals. However they turn out, what an incredible experience.
Congratulations Zach! We tried to see it at 2:30 PDT (as listed on the NBC website) and we didn’t see the race. We’re so glad we could see the replay. Thank you to John Spack for giving us the link. It was thrilling to watch! Can’t wait to see you in the finals. Have a wonderful Olympic experience. Cheers! Eric and Janet Jacobsen

My roommate and I got up at 3:30am to watch and cheer. That was really exciting! Hope you guys are enjoying the games!
Incredible! Is there a clip of the race?
Love that ESPN has it covered: http://espn.go.com/olympics/summer/2012/rowing/story/_/id/8208317/2012-summer-olympics-germany-us-advance-men-8-rowing-final
Cannot find a clip that will play here. NBC seems to prohibit international replay. But you may be able to get there via Comcast…
Love this! nancy ash yo look great!
On NBC coverage Zach got credit from the announcer for outwitting those Aussies
