"content": "\u003cp>The United States took the field in Brazil on Tuesday as the reigning Olympic champion in rugby. None of the current U.S. players could recall that previous moment of glory — because rugby was last played at the Olympics in 1924.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. wasn’t known as a world power in rugby then, and the victory in Paris stunned both the French and the Americans themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early part of the 20th century, rugby was in some places more popular than the new sport of American football, including California. The U.S. team won Olympic gold at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. But after World War I, American college athletes were gravitating to American football, and rugby was fading out. By 1924, it was difficult to find enough good American rugby players to field a competitive team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“France, whom the United States defeated for the title in 1920, was very insistent that the titleholder enter a team so that she might be given the opportunity to remove the laurel wreath from the crown of her dear brothers from the U.S.A,” wrote Dudley DeGroot, a player on the 1924 team whose account of the Olympic journey was printed in San Francisco’s The Call newspaper over 23 days that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were looking for a punching bag,” said Norman Cleaveland, a Stanford graduate who played on that 1924 team. He provided an \u003ca href=\"http://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/roho/ucb/text/cleaveland_norman.pdf\">oral history that’s at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley\u003c/a>. “We were told to go to Paris and take our beatings like gentlemen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Scheduling the Matches to Favor the French\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If France had one gold that seemed certain in the 1924 Olympics, it was in rugby. But just to make sure, Olympic organizers scheduled the rugby competition in May, two months before the rest of the Olympics, at a time when French rugby players would be in top form. That put the Americans on a tight schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046251\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046251\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924RugbyPoster-800x1251.jpg\" alt=\"A poster promoting rugby from the 1924 Paris Olympics.\" width=\"600\" height=\"1251\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster promoting rugby from the 1924 Paris Olympics. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few of the players from 1920 decided to return to the team, and open tryouts filled out the roster. All the players were from California, and they had all played more American football than rugby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, the team made their way to New York and set sail on the S.S. America, bound not for Paris, but for England, where they would play practice matches against English teams, considered by many to be the best in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly any group of Americans had a great deal of nerve to travel some 6,000 miles to play the greatest English teams at a game which in every sense of the word is English,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But how much greater (or foolish) that nerve when it is considered that American team had never played a game, as a unit. Nor had any of the members of the team played rugby for four years, while eight of them had never played a game in their lives. And in spite of our confidence in ourselves we often wondered whether we had not undertaken something a little bit bigger than we could handle,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Tournament of Three\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you might be wondering, if Great Britain was the best in the world at rugby, why wasn’t it sending a team on a short trip across the Channel to France for the Olympics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In DeGroot’s journal, he asks the same thing. And Great Britain wasn’t the only team that didn’t attend. The only two countries that agreed to face France in the Olympic rugby tournament were the United States and Romania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone else stayed home, it seemed, not because they were afraid of the French team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were afraid of the French fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Americans reached England, they got a drubbing from two English squads. Then they boarded a boat to France.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rough, oh, I’ve never been on such a rough ride,” Cleaveland said in his oral history. “We were seasick and we felt battered around. Well, the French had goofed off, and they hadn’t told the officials in Boulogne that we were coming. So they said we couldn’t get off the boat, we didn’t have any visas. So we said, ‘That’s what you think. You watch us, see if we get off this boat.’ We charged through the gendarmes and through the barriers. The next morning, the Paris papers featured the ‘Big Riot in Boulogne.’ Oh, we were really taken apart in the press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046259\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-800x473.jpg\" alt=\"The 1924 Team USA rugby squad - all of them Californians.\" width=\"800\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-800x473.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-400x237.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-1180x698.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-960x568.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1924 Team USA rugby squad – all of them Californians. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The rugby players settled into their hotel in Paris — the athlete’s village wasn’t yet finished — and started preparing for the tournament. First up was France vs. Romania. The American team watched from the stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The final score of that game, if game it could be called, was 61 to 8 in favor of France,” DeGroot wrote. “We left the field fully realizing just what we were up against. A decidedly sober bunch of Americans, trying to figure out just how we were going to stop that French backfield.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next game was the U.S. vs. Romania. The Americans won easily, 37-0, but the French fans booed and hissed at the winning team throughout the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To say that the French spectators were unsportsmanlike at that game would be putting it far too mildly,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French Olympic Committee agreed. In the days before the final between the U.S. and France, they published an appeal in a local newspaper for civility in the wake of the “violent sentiments” shown by French fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Americans play hard,” the committee said, “but never brutally or with bad intent. The Californians who have come over 12,000 (kilometers) to play a sport which is not theirs should have the applauds and the feeling of the French sporting public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is hard to conceive of a nation so unsportsmanlike that such an appeal is necessary,” DeGroot wrote. And then, in reference to World War I, he added, “But it is harder still to try to understand how the people of the French nation could be so hostile to representatives of a country which had so recently saved them from almost certain destruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046183\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"USA's Garrett Bender (R) runs with the ball in the men's rugby sevens match against Argentina during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Tuesday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">USA’s Garrett Bender (R) runs with the ball in the men’s rugby sevens match against Argentina during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Tuesday. \u003ccite>(Pascal Guyot/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Rowdy Final\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the gold medal game, played on a blisteringly hot and humid Sunday in May, 40,000 fans packed Colombes Stadium in Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we were standing at attention during the playing of our anthem, the storm which had been threatening all day broke loose with a tremendous clap of thunder and burst of lightning, which enhanced the majesty of the scene many times,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The odds were five to one against us,” recalled Cleaveland. He added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really had our dander up. A lot of things we knew about by playing American football the French were yet to learn. They started beating up Americans in the stands. This was during the game. The only way they could get the injured Americans into an ambulance was to bring them onto the field. We thought that some were dead, and we thought that it was only a matter of time before we would be dead, also.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The play was equally nasty on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French “did most of their tackling around the neck and shoulders. Consequently when we left our feet and hit them low, it simply laid them out,” DeGroot explained. “The French fullback was a particularly dirty player, persisting in putting his cleated foot in your face. We soon found by tackling him hard and low on the one leg he kept on the ground, he soon got over this.

None of the current U.S. players could recall that previous moment of glory — because rugby was last played at the Olympics in 1924.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. wasn’t known as a world power in rugby then, and the victory in Paris stunned both the French and the Americans themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early part of the 20th century, rugby was in some places more popular than the new sport of American football, including California. The U.S. team won Olympic gold at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. But after World War I, American college athletes were gravitating to American football, and rugby was fading out. By 1924, it was difficult to find enough good American rugby players to field a competitive team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“France, whom the United States defeated for the title in 1920, was very insistent that the titleholder enter a team so that she might be given the opportunity to remove the laurel wreath from the crown of her dear brothers from the U.S.A,” wrote Dudley DeGroot, a player on the 1924 team whose account of the Olympic journey was printed in San Francisco’s The Call newspaper over 23 days that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He provided an \u003ca href=\"http://digitalassets.lib.berkeley.edu/roho/ucb/text/cleaveland_norman.pdf\">oral history that’s at the Bancroft Library in Berkeley\u003c/a>. “We were told to go to Paris and take our beatings like gentlemen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Scheduling the Matches to Favor the French\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If France had one gold that seemed certain in the 1924 Olympics, it was in rugby. But just to make sure, Olympic organizers scheduled the rugby competition in May, two months before the rest of the Olympics, at a time when French rugby players would be in top form. That put the Americans on a tight schedule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046251\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046251\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924RugbyPoster-800x1251.jpg\" alt=\"A poster promoting rugby from the 1924 Paris Olympics.\" width=\"600\" height=\"1251\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A poster promoting rugby from the 1924 Paris Olympics. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>A few of the players from 1920 decided to return to the team, and open tryouts filled out the roster. All the players were from California, and they had all played more American football than rugby.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early April, the team made their way to New York and set sail on the S.S. America, bound not for Paris, but for England, where they would play practice matches against English teams, considered by many to be the best in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly any group of Americans had a great deal of nerve to travel some 6,000 miles to play the greatest English teams at a game which in every sense of the word is English,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But how much greater (or foolish) that nerve when it is considered that American team had never played a game, as a unit. Nor had any of the members of the team played rugby for four years, while eight of them had never played a game in their lives. And in spite of our confidence in ourselves we often wondered whether we had not undertaken something a little bit bigger than we could handle,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Tournament of Three\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So you might be wondering, if Great Britain was the best in the world at rugby, why wasn’t it sending a team on a short trip across the Channel to France for the Olympics?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In DeGroot’s journal, he asks the same thing. And Great Britain wasn’t the only team that didn’t attend. The only two countries that agreed to face France in the Olympic rugby tournament were the United States and Romania.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone else stayed home, it seemed, not because they were afraid of the French team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They were afraid of the French fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Americans reached England, they got a drubbing from two English squads. Then they boarded a boat to France.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rough, oh, I’ve never been on such a rough ride,” Cleaveland said in his oral history. “We were seasick and we felt battered around. Well, the French had goofed off, and they hadn’t told the officials in Boulogne that we were coming. So they said we couldn’t get off the boat, we didn’t have any visas. So we said, ‘That’s what you think. You watch us, see if we get off this boat.’ We charged through the gendarmes and through the barriers. The next morning, the Paris papers featured the ‘Big Riot in Boulogne.’ Oh, we were really taken apart in the press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046259\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046259\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-800x473.jpg\" alt=\"The 1924 Team USA rugby squad - all of them Californians.\" width=\"800\" height=\"473\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-800x473.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-400x237.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-1180x698.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/RugbyTeamUSA24-960x568.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 1924 Team USA rugby squad – all of them Californians. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The rugby players settled into their hotel in Paris — the athlete’s village wasn’t yet finished — and started preparing for the tournament. First up was France vs. Romania. The American team watched from the stands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The final score of that game, if game it could be called, was 61 to 8 in favor of France,” DeGroot wrote. “We left the field fully realizing just what we were up against. A decidedly sober bunch of Americans, trying to figure out just how we were going to stop that French backfield.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next game was the U.S. vs. Romania. The Americans won easily, 37-0, but the French fans booed and hissed at the winning team throughout the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To say that the French spectators were unsportsmanlike at that game would be putting it far too mildly,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French Olympic Committee agreed. In the days before the final between the U.S. and France, they published an appeal in a local newspaper for civility in the wake of the “violent sentiments” shown by French fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Americans play hard,” the committee said, “but never brutally or with bad intent. The Californians who have come over 12,000 (kilometers) to play a sport which is not theirs should have the applauds and the feeling of the French sporting public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is hard to conceive of a nation so unsportsmanlike that such an appeal is necessary,” DeGroot wrote. And then, in reference to World War I, he added, “But it is harder still to try to understand how the people of the French nation could be so hostile to representatives of a country which had so recently saved them from almost certain destruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046183\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046183\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"USA's Garrett Bender (R) runs with the ball in the men's rugby sevens match against Argentina during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Tuesday.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-400x266.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-1920x1279.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-1180x786.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/gettyimages-587622122_custom-e5d29ec624f1c140af7bf519bfb6e9b98d3f66e6-960x639.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">USA’s Garrett Bender (R) runs with the ball in the men’s rugby sevens match against Argentina during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Tuesday. \u003ccite>(Pascal Guyot/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Rowdy Final\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the gold medal game, played on a blisteringly hot and humid Sunday in May, 40,000 fans packed Colombes Stadium in Paris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As we were standing at attention during the playing of our anthem, the storm which had been threatening all day broke loose with a tremendous clap of thunder and burst of lightning, which enhanced the majesty of the scene many times,” DeGroot wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The odds were five to one against us,” recalled Cleaveland. He added:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really had our dander up. A lot of things we knew about by playing American football the French were yet to learn. They started beating up Americans in the stands. This was during the game. The only way they could get the injured Americans into an ambulance was to bring them onto the field. We thought that some were dead, and we thought that it was only a matter of time before we would be dead, also.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The play was equally nasty on the field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The French “did most of their tackling around the neck and shoulders. Consequently when we left our feet and hit them low, it simply laid them out,” DeGroot explained. “The French fullback was a particularly dirty player, persisting in putting his cleated foot in your face. We soon found by tackling him hard and low on the one leg he kept on the ground, he soon got over this. From that time on that fullback couldn’t kick the ball when he got it to save his life.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the outcome surprised everyone, even the Americans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh, we gave them a waxing,” Cleaveland said. “We won, 17-3.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11046262\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11046262\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch-800x508.jpg\" alt=\"A scene from the 1924 gold medal rugby match between France and the U.S.\" width=\"800\" height=\"508\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch-800x508.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch-400x254.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch-1180x749.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/08/1924USAFranceMatch-960x609.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A scene from the 1924 gold medal rugby match between France and the U.S. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Something strange also happened after the big upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The French newspapers switched sides, changed their role 180 degrees, and we became great heroes,” Cleaveland said. “And Paris, I can assure you, is one of the best places in the world to be a hero.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Norman Cleaveland went on a tour of Europe, and worked his way back to Paris to watch the rest of the Olympics — and to enjoy being a hero.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dudley DeGroot got to work on his extended journal for The Call.

What’s it like to make your first Olympic games at age 37?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s definitely a dream come true\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">. I started the sport pretty late in life. I didn’t start training for it full time until I was about 26 years old. Usually, around the world, kids are starting kayaking at maybe 12. But if you look at our Olympians and our medal winners, a lot of times they’re in their late 20s to early 30s. Our sport is very technical, and requires a lot of strength and power, and a lot of endurance. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And that’s in probably the tippiest kayak in the world. Not only do you have to learn balance, but technique, speed and strength.\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> It takes years to develop an athlete in all of those. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How did you get into kayaking?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was a swimmer at UC Santa Barbara, and I was an ocean lifeguard during my summers. There’s an event in lifeguarding called surf lifesaving — kind of like an ocean triathlon. You do a swim, a paddleboard, and there’s this thing called a surf ski in a racing kayak. I was trying to learn to do that, and I could not keep it upright to save my life. It was so tippy. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They’re not designed for just speed like the Olympic boats are. I got in one of the racing kayaks to learn how to surf ski, and here I am. I took a detour.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>How does an intelligent kayaking fan watch a race? How do they notice things like the angle that you’re dipping the paddle into the water?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">You probably wouldn’t notice. It’s happening so fast. In a 500-meter race, we’re probably taking 110-120 strokes per minute. To the naked eye, and if you were far away, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell if my stroke is 5 centimeters longer than the person in lane three. It’s a very long sprint, so you’ll see the more efficient paddlers do better in the second half of the race. If you’re looking for good technique, you’re going to see those girls excel in the second 250 of the race.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>At the end of a long day of training, where are you sore?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Everywhere but my eyebrows. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s really physically demanding on the body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yet a lot of people seem to have some misconceptions about badminton. They don’t take it very seriously. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The main misconception is that badminton is a backyard sport. Kind of a sport that you’re enjoying a beer in the backyard with friends. A lot of people don’t know that it’s actually only played indoors, and it’s the fastest racket sport. The shuttle was actually recorded off-racket at over 300 miles an hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I understand you actually fell in love with the sport after you \u003cem>lost\u003c/em> your first tournament. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was about 10 years old, and was new to the sport. I lost to the number one junior at that time. My mother went to that kid’s mother, and said, ‘Your son is really good. Would he like to play doubles with my son this year?’ His mom told my mom, ‘No, your son sucks,’ referring to me. I wanted to come back and beat him. That was my motivation and drive at that young age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A lot of the players on the U.S. badminton team come from Asian immigrant families, and many of them grew up in Southern California? Is that a coincidence? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>L.A. and Southern California is really one of the hot spots for badminton. It used to be a predominantly Asian sport, and Asia is where a lot of the powerhouses are. But in the last decade, it’s really been growing a lot, especially in Europe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But what’s the California connection?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of the badminton clubs are here, in Southern California or San Francisco.

"content": "\u003cp>It seems like weeks and weeks ago that the Golden State Warriors were scampering past the Cleveland Cavaliers, winning the first two games of the NBA Finals by a combined total of 48 points. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors looked close to unstoppable in the two home wins. The Cavs looked like a joke. The only thing the Dubs needed to do was fly to Ohio and polish off the Clevelanders, then come home and have a nice parade. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But something happened. Cleveland woke up, winning Game 3 in a blowout, 120-90. And facing elimination after a Warriors' win in Game 4, the Cavs dominated in Oakland in Game 5 and again in Game 6, Thursday night in Cleveland. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Cavaliers won 115-101, building a 20-point lead in the first quarter that the Warriors never seriously threatened. On-court highlights: a second straight 41-point game from Cleveland's LeBron James; the Dubs' Steph Curry fouling out and then getting ejected after throwing his mouthpiece. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The postgame highlight: Warriors head coach Steve Kerr's fury with the officiating that led to Curry's exit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He gets six fouls called on him. Three of them were absolutely ridiculous. He steals the ball from Kyrie [Irving] clean at one point. LeBron flops on the last one. [Referee] Jason Phillips falls for that, for a flop. This is the MVP of the league we're talking about. These touch fouls in the NBA Finals. Let me be clear. We did not lose because of the officiating. They totally outplayed us. Cleveland deserved to win. But those three, three of the six fouls, were incredibly inappropriate calls for anybody, much less the MVP of the league.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A reporter asked if Kerr was OK with Curry throwing his mouthpiece?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, I'm happy he threw his mouthpiece. He should be upset. Look, it's the Finals. Everybody is competing out there. There are fouls on every play. It's a physical game. I just think that Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, the way we run our offense -- we're running, we're cutting through the lane, we're a rhythm offense -- if they're going to let Cleveland grab and hold these guys constantly on their cuts and then you're going to call these ticky-tack fouls on the MVP of the league to foul him out, I don't agree with that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the Dubs' easy stroll to a second straight championship has turned into a Homeric struggle -- thinking of that famous \u003ca href=\"http://classics.mit.edu/Homer/iliad.html\" target=\"_blank\">Achaeans vs. Trojans matchup\u003c/a> that went into serious overtime back in the day -- that will conclude Sunday at Oracle Arena. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No predictions here, but it's clear which team has the momentum now. On the other hand, the Warriors are angry and motivated. And they're playing to defend the legacy of their record-setting 73-win season and secure their place as one of the league's best teams ever. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's the Associated Press writeup of Game 6:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Tom Withers\u003cbr>\nAP Sports Writer\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CLEVELAND — LeBron James scored 41 points, Kyrie Irving added 23 and the Cleveland Cavaliers sent the NBA Finals packing for California by beating the rattled Golden State Warriors 115-101 on Thursday night to even this unpredictable series and force a decisive Game 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>James delivered another epic performance in an elimination game and the Cavs saved their season for the second time in four days and are headed back to Oakland's Oracle Arena for Sunday's climactic game on the brink of history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more win and they'll become the first team to overcome a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Finals, and more importantly, give title-starved Cleveland its first major sports championship since Dec. 27, 1964.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to win for sure,\" James said. \"But I want to give everything I've got and we'll see what happens. We forced a Game 7. It's going to be a fun one.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors never imagined being in this spot. The defending champions, who powered their way to a record 73 wins in the regular season, won the first two games by 48 combined points. But MVP Stephen Curry and Co. have lost their touch, their poise and are in danger of their historic season — and a second title — vanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Curry was ejected from Game 6 with 4:22 left after he was called for his sixth personal foul, cursed at an official and fired his mouthpiece into the front row, striking a fan. Curry finished with 30 points, Klay Thompson had 25 and Draymond Green, back from a one-game suspension, had 10 rebounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, James called Game 7, \"the two best words ever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He'll live them once more, thanks to his spell-binding effort — he had a hand in 27 consecutive points in the second half — and put away the Warriors after they closed a 24-point deficit to seven in the final period. James scored 14 points in the fourth before checking out to a thunderous ovation in the final minutes as Cleveland fans chanted, \"Cavs in 7!\" and \"See you Sunday!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the end of the day I'm going to give my teammates everything I got,\" James said. \"I'm going to give my coaching staff all I've got. And I'll be satisfied with the results.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In typical Cleveland fashion, there were some heart palpitations in the fourth. The Cavs built a 24-point lead in the third, and when J.R. Smith blindly dropped a lob pass to a trailing James for a dunk, Quicken Loans shook with noise and thousands of fans packing a plaza outside the building began thinking about where they might watch Game 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors, though, weren't done. On the anniversary of their title last season, Thompson made a pair of 3-pointers as Golden State, playing without injured center Andrew Bogut, closed the third quarter with a 25-10 run to pull within 80-71 entering the final 12 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But James, as he did while winning two titles in Miami, made sure those belonged to him and extended Cleveland's dream season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before taking the floor, James huddled his teammates in prayer the way he does before every game outside the locker room. He then offered some final words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every possession counts. Every possession matters,\" he said. \"No breakdowns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only things broken early on were the Warriors, who couldn't make an outside shot and were sloppy in the first quarter, when they fell behind by 22 while Curry sat on the bench with two fouls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down by 20 at the end of the period, coach Steve Kerr told sideline reporter Craig Sager, working his first finals: \"Am I worried? 31-11? We got this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors didn't get it, though, and now have to fight off a Cleveland team rolling like never before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TIP-INS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Warriors:\u003c/strong> Kerr started Andre Iguodala for Bogut but he was coy about his choice, joking before the game about his decision being posted on the arena's scoreboard. \"I told the person operating the Jumbotron to pick our starting lineup and that's what I'm going to go with,\" he cracked. ... Green and Thompson played in their 103rd game this season, the most in the NBA. That was also the highest total in the league a year ago, with Harrison Barnes getting to 103. ... Iguodala's start was his third of these playoffs. It was his first instance of consecutive starts this season. ... Kerr is one of 26 players in league history to win five titles as a player. He famously made the title-clinching shot for Chicago in the 1997 finals. ... Bogut's injury will take 6-to-8 weeks to heal, essentially knocking him out of playing for Australia in the Rio Olympics. \"We'll re-evaluate it in a month,\" he said. \"If I can get back on the court, we'll see. But as of now it's not looking good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cavaliers:\u003c/strong> Seldom-used reserve G Dahntay Jones came off the bench in the last two minutes of the first and scored 5 points. ... James (198) passed Manu Ginobili (197) for ninth place in career postseason games. ... It was the Cavaliers' 51st and final home game of the season, matching the franchise record also reached in the finals years of 2007 and 2015. ... Power couple Beyonce and Jay-Z sat in the front row across from Cleveland's bench.\u003c/p>\n\n",

On the anniversary of their title last season, Thompson made a pair of 3-pointers as Golden State, playing without injured center Andrew Bogut, closed the third quarter with a 25-10 run to pull within 80-71 entering the final 12 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But James, as he did while winning two titles in Miami, made sure those belonged to him and extended Cleveland's dream season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before taking the floor, James huddled his teammates in prayer the way he does before every game outside the locker room. He then offered some final words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every possession counts. Every possession matters,\" he said. \"No breakdowns.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only things broken early on were the Warriors, who couldn't make an outside shot and were sloppy in the first quarter, when they fell behind by 22 while Curry sat on the bench with two fouls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Down by 20 at the end of the period, coach Steve Kerr told sideline reporter Craig Sager, working his first finals: \"Am I worried? 31-11? We got this.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Warriors didn't get it, though, and now have to fight off a Cleveland team rolling like never before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TIP-INS\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Warriors:\u003c/strong> Kerr started Andre Iguodala for Bogut but he was coy about his choice, joking before the game about his decision being posted on the arena's scoreboard. \"I told the person operating the Jumbotron to pick our starting lineup and that's what I'm going to go with,\" he cracked. ... Green and Thompson played in their 103rd game this season, the most in the NBA. That was also the highest total in the league a year ago, with Harrison Barnes getting to 103. ... Iguodala's start was his third of these playoffs. It was his first instance of consecutive starts this season. ... Kerr is one of 26 players in league history to win five titles as a player. He famously made the title-clinching shot for Chicago in the 1997 finals. ... Bogut's injury will take 6-to-8 weeks to heal, essentially knocking him out of playing for Australia in the Rio Olympics. \"We'll re-evaluate it in a month,\" he said. \"If I can get back on the court, we'll see. But as of now it's not looking good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
