Row Your Boat Gently Down Robbie Manson’s Olympic Stream

From: Queerty

Say hello to Robbie Manson. The 26-year-old out rower from New Zealand has been in Rio completing in the Olympics alongside his fellow stroke man, Christopher Harris.

The guys were off to a flying start, winning their first heat on Saturday and advancing to the semifinals. An overnight storm created some choppy waters, however, and ultimately the fellas came in fourth in the semifinals, which means they’re officially out of the games. Whomp, whomp.

The defeat was no doubt crushing for our guy Manson. So we thought we’d show him a little appreciation by scouring his Instagram page.

Scroll down for pictures of the ripped rower in action…

It ain't always pretty... Left it all out there in the single and came away with a silver medal. As always @rowingcelebration is there to capture the good the bad and the ugly!!!
