My name is Susan Francia
I'm a two-time Olympic gold medalist in the women's 8 for rowing
and I'm coaching the Junior women's 8 here for the U.S.
I started rowing in 2001 and...
set my sights on the Olympics, wanted to get into the women's 8
and make history for the U.S. so
we raised one gold in Beijing and we repeated in London.
Rowing is a sport about
pain
how much pain can you tolerate
and grace how gracefull can you make that pain.
it's all about timing and pushing your limits
and we get to really test
ourselves and I really work together as a boat.
I think the USA will be completely ready.
I think we're looking to repeat again and get gold
I have high expectations for our U.S. Team, for the men and women.
They have been gearing up, so they're ready.
