This week, Fergus is in conversation with 2x Olympian and current coach of the Dutch Men's Sculling Squad Francesco Fossi.
We talk about his time rowing for Italy, his transition to the Dutch team and what the secret is to the flying dutchmen controlling the high seas. We also touch on Francesco's duels with the Sinkovic brothers both as an athlete and now as a coach.
