we had a speech last year at DLD about a girl who broke literally every bone of her body practicing this sport... still, stunning to look at.

hey, I'm in there joking around minute 4:40 ;)

my GG grandfather (left) and family crossing between Chile and Germany, around 1907. My great grandfather is the 2nd from the left.
His mother (right) was from Danish origin, from the regions that used to be Denmark and become Prussia following the wars in Schleswig-Holstein.

My great grand father (in white) during a rowing event.
Funny, I was rowing team captain in engineering school, then later in business school. Seems it's going to be back to rowing for me in 2009.

looking at old pictures tonight. On the left is my great grand father, Max Hannig Ulriksen, quite a character. He was an entrepreneur all his life, working with model planes (why do I like flying ?), photography (I have a business plan from him for a business in photography!), athletics including rowing, industrial machinery (stuff around steel)... His father was also an entrepreneur in the thermal water business, made a fortune, and then lost all of it in government bonds in WWI. His father Stanislaus, my great great grandfather, was born in what is now Poland, but Oriental Prussia back then.

Here we see Max in c. 1917 in his military service in Chile. Their uniform was modeled after the Prussian one, with the typical helmet. This is the Telegraph Batallion... 90 years later, I deal with telecoms in the Internet space !
