The United States men's rowing four team captured a gold medal for the first time since the 1960 Rome Olympics during Thursday's competition.
The crew made up of Justin Best, Nick Mead, Michael Grady and Liam Corrigan finished the race in 5:49.03 to put them ahead of New Zealand and Great Britain. New Zealand attempted to overtake the United States in the final 200 meters, but Team USA was able to hold them off.
