U.S. Men’s four looks like best shot for a rowing medal, so far.

The U.S. men’s four lead their first race here at the Paris Olympics from start to finish, and looked the best in class doing it. They lived up to their number-one seed in winning the heat, sending them directly to A finals, where medals are won. France finished second, a length behind the U.S. crew, who had already taken it down across the line.

“That was pretty cool,” said two-seat Justin Best. “There’s a bubbler pipe that runs underneath the finish line and our call was ‘Through the bubbles,’ so seeing those bubbles and knowing we did what we needed to do, now it’s all eyes on the final, August 1st.”
