Some sporting events bring such an intense level of competition you can practically feel it in the air. In this season one segment from “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 104), we’re in Cambridge, Massachusetts at the Head of the Charles, the biggest two-day rowing event in the world. While full of competitive spirit, the annual October event is also a chance for the rowing community to collectively celebrate their beloved sport. Join Richard as he gets to know hometown hero Olympic silver medalist rower Gevvie Stone and her father and coach, Gregg Stone, as Gevvie prepares to compete.
