As I re-launch JoeJacobi.com, I’m re-posting some of my favorite blogs and video blogs from the past year. If you can appreciate cause-driven athletics at the highest level, check out this video featuring a Beijing Olympic medalist during a visit to Chattanooga.

Tradition in a Bottle

(November 2, 2008) Marcus McElhenney, coxswain for the Olympic Bronze Medal-winning Mens Eight in Beijing, and few of his rowing mates were in Chattanooga this past weekend for the Head of Hooch Rowing Regatta. Not only were they participating in what has become the second largest rowing event in the U.S., these young athletes were spokesmen for Row For the Cure – raising money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer. Marcus took a few minutes to talk with me about prospects for London and a special tradition within the Olympic rowing ranks.
