The Elis took countermeasures. In 2010 they hired one of the nation’s premier crew coaches, Steve Gladstone, who, at 68, was extraordinarily well seasoned for a new hire. In 2012, Yale College abolished fresh- man crew (a program dating back to at least 1893; Harvard’s freshman program continues), allowing Gladstone to bring fresh recruits straight into his varsity eight. By last spring, the Elis were feeling their oats. Their undefeated varsity marched into the climactic Eastern Sprints regatta in May as the number-one seed.

This is such a compelling experience. Nearly 40 eights, fours, quads, doubles, and singles formed an upstream procession past the imposing Victorian edifice where Parker had occupied a tiny corner office The Sphinx of the Charles: A Year at Harvard with Harry Parker They came together, as well, in Sydney and London, where other Crimson rowers took to the water for a salute. There was a five-ringed reunion as well. Vyacheslav Ivanov, the legendary Soviet sculler who won three gold medals in the single and competed against Parker in the Olympic final, flew in from Moscow and paddled out in a double with Don Spero, his American rival in Jim Dietz, the Northeastern grad who sculled in two Games, was back on the river. So was the Olympic eight that Parker coached. When his former oarsmen talked about Parker, it was with equal parts affection, admiration, and awe. A five-minute chat was a filibuster from the man they called The Sphinx. Parker never gave a pep talk. As the procession was coming to an end, three of his more recent varsities broke off to race each other to the bridge.

  • VYACHESLAV IVANOV, «Monumento» Del Remo Sovietico
    VYACHESLAV IVANOV, «monumento» del remo sovietico di Claudio Loreto Il sovietico Vyacheslav Nikolayevich Ivanon è stato il primo canottiere a vincere tre medaglie d’oro olimpiche - peraltro consecutive - nella specialita dello skiff 1 (Giochi di Melbourne ‘56, Roma ‘60 e Tokyo ‘64). Prima di lui soltanto gli statunitensi John B. Kelly Sr. e Paul Costello 2 nonché il britannico Jack Beresford 3 avevano collezionato altrettanti allori, ma non unicamente nel singolo . Il solo ad essere riuscito in seguito ad eguagliarlo è, a tutt’oggi 4, il finlandese Pertti Karppinen (Montreal ‘76, Mosca ‘80 e Los Angeles ‘84). Nato nel 1938, Vyacheslav iniziò la pratica della voga a quindici anni. Nel 1955 conquistò il titolo di campione dell’U.R.S.S. nello skiff “junior” 5 e l’anno successivo si impose alla ribalta internazionale - sempre nel singolo - vincendo dapprima il Campionato Europeo a Bled e poi (a soli 18 anni) le Olimpiadi australiane: sul lago Wendouree, dopo essere transito ultimo alla boa dei 1.500 metri,6 il giovane moscovita diede spettacolo con uno strabiliante “rush” finale, grazie al quale superò - in rapida successione - il polacco Teodor Kocerka, lo statunitense John B. Kelly Jr. 7 ed infine il “padrone di casa”, l’australiano Stuart MacKenzie (il quale era stato al comando fin dalla partenza). […] Nel “singolo” come nel “doppio” i sovietici si aggiudicavano il diritto di essere considerati oggi i più forti vogatori nella vogata di coppia 8. Il giovane Ivanov, già campione d’Europa, ha fatto 1 Skiff o “singolo” , imbarcazione da competizione ad un solo vogatore e due remi.

A man of few words, Parker was nonetheless able to get the most out of his rowers. He never screamed at people. He set a precedent of success and hard work that his team strived to match through his example. When Parker used his words, he knew how to employ them effectively. Parker put his competitive fire on full display for his team leading up to the Harvard-Yale Regatta. While Parker had most of his success at Harvard, his accomplishments extended outside the realm of Cambridge. His achievements pushed American crews to change the way they operated. Parker is credited with creating the fall head racing season in the US. Other programs strived to compete with the dominant Crimson crews. Steve Gladstone, who was the head coach of the Harvard lightweight men from before moving on to heavyweight at other institutions, looked forward to competing with Harvard. Parker achieved success on the world stage as well. His impact was immediate, leading the eight-woman squad to a silver medal in its first appearance at the World Rowing Championship. The next year, he led the team to a bronze medal in the Summer Olympics in Montreal. He was very much an egalitarian at the time when most male athletes and coaches were not.

Sixteen hard-working and passionate majors, an incredible staff member—Carissa Wilson (get to know her), and Monty Downs, our super faculty member and TD, were invaluable in helping me and Region VI get this festival off the ground.
