What I am looking for right now:
| University of California winning the 1928 Olympics. Their coach, Ky Ebright, had been a coxswain for Hiram Conibear at the University of Washington. Under Ebright, Cal won the Olympics again in 1932 and 1948. The style he taught his crews is still seen today. |
| Al Ulbrickson coaching the University of Washington in 1949, continuing the tradition begun four decades earlier by Hiram Conibear. Accompanying him in the launch is George Pocock. |
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| The Italian Coxed-Pair of Giuseppe and Carmine Abbagnale and coxswain Giuseppe di Capua winning their first Olympic Championship in 1984. They medaled in fifteen straight FISA year-end championships between 1980 and 1994, winning ten. |
| The 2004 Olympic Champion Romanian Coxless-Pair of Georgeta Andrunache-Damian and Viorica Susanu rowed a style that can be traced back to Steve Fairbairn, the Australian who revolutionized British rowing in the 1880s. Damian and Susanu also won the Olympic Eights title in 2000, 2004 and 2008. |
| 1952 Olympic Champion Soviet Union Men's Single Sculler Yuri Tyukalov rowed a technique linked in history to 19th Century World Professional Champion Ned Hanlan of Canada and 2004 Olympic Champion Olaf Tufte of Norway. |
| Mark Hunter, stroke of the 2008 Olympic Champion British Lightweight Men's Double, has roots that go back to the Thames watermen of the Middle Ages. |
