Rowers Give Up A Medal
High school rowers, James Konopka and Nick Mead were on their way to winning a medal at a race. Then, one of the opposing boats capsized. Seeing as this was the Philadelphia area in November, the two rowers abandoned their medal and helped their opponents out of the freezing water. After they helped them out, they all finished the race.
