Sometimes I forget just how successful and how lucky I’ve been to be part of championship teams and all-star games and gold medals,” Thompson said. “And when you want to get back to that level so badly, you can get in your own way rather than forcing it.”Thompson has been benched in crunch time twice this year due to poor shot selection and a hyper-focus on getting back to his old self that dates back to last year in his first full season since returning from ACL and Achilles injuries.

How ‘Boys in the Boat’ star Callum Turner tackled the film’s Olympian challenge

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:26:54 GMT

When Joe Rantz was four years old, his mother died. While Rantz was still a teen, his father and stepmother, viewing him as one extra mouth to feed, abandoned him at the start of the Great Depression. But Rantz persevered, living in an unfinished house and making his way through high school and to the University of Washington, where he studied engineering. Needing money for his tuition, Rantz learned he could earn enough and gain a place to live if he could make the school’s crew team. Although he’d never rowed before, Rantz made the team and was a crucial member of an underdog squad that not only won national titles but also earned a gold medal in Berlin at the 1936 Olympics – stunning Adolf Hitler and the world. The story, which is based on Daniel James Brown’s nonfiction bestseller of the same name, provides the basis for George Clooney’s latest film, “The Boys in the Boat,” a story of American grit and perseverance against overwhelming odds, which goes wide in theaters on Decemb...
