Twins: Grant and Ross James
Sport: Rowing
Grant and Ross James, fraternal twins, will be competing side by side - literally - in the same boat as a part of the men's rowing team. Growing up, they have always done everything together from becoming Boy Scouts to studying engineering and so it is no surprise that they have followed each other to the Olympics. The brothers have gone through life side by side and will continue that trend to the Olympics.
Ross explains their relationship saying:
"We've been doing a lot of things throughout our life together and we've accomplished a lot of things together, so it's nice to continue that trend of being with your twin brother."
For now, they do not have to worry about having to compete against each other, although they recognize that it will not always be that easy. Ross explains:
"It's tough, because we won't always be in the same boat or the same situations."
