A Harvard rower a few days beforehand:
“You don’t understand how scary it is when you walk into the boathouse shower and see a giant Dutch Olympian standing there completely naked.”
Spectator 1:
“I am 100 percent here for the baked goods. Nothing else.”
Spectator 2:
“That boat is going so slowly…of course it’s MIT.”
A middle-aged woman:
“Ooh, look at the men’s heavyweight eights! I love these perfect 19-year-old boys. They are just beautiful.”
Announcer:
“It seems like today’s meant for tying your favorite sweater around your waist. Am I right? Look at all those sweaters tied around waists.”
Spectator 3:
“Why does everyone here look like J Crew threw up all over them?”
Spectator 4:
“The coxswain literally looks like a floating head in that boat.”
Spectator 5:
“I love the screaming and cattiness that ensues when girls’ boats crash into each other. I was hoping for more of that today.”
