sport has existed. The British men and women have won a total of 78 Olympic medals in rowing, second only to the United States, including 34 all-time gold medals, tied with the U.S. for most ever. Most recently, at the 2024 Games, the Brits earned a total of eight medals, including gold in the men&#8217;s eight and bronze in the women&#8217;s. Both of those crews included Washington alumni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canada boasts 44 all-time rowing medals in the Olympics and has emerged as a power in the women&#8217;s eight recently, having won the gold medal in 2020 and the silver in 2024. That 2024 crew included current Washington men&#8217;s team assistant coach&nbsp;<dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/gohuskies.com\/sports\/mens-rowing\/roster\/coaches\/kristina-walker\/6658\">Kristina Walker<\/a><\/dfn>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Northeastern men&#8217;s team is coached by Alex Perkins &#8217;15, the stroke rower in UW&#8217;s 2013 and 2015 IRA National Champion crews. He also won a gold medal in the freshman eight in 2012. Northeastern has won the national championship twice in its history, in 1988 and 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gohuskies.com\/news\/2026\/2\/25\/mens-rowing-uw-to-take-on-british-canadians-northeastern-in-40th-windermere-cup\">IBID<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>By the late twentieth century, Opening Day had become \u201cthe nation\u2019s largest regional celebration of spring and the beginning of boating season,\u201d marrying an international rowing regatta, a themed boat parade, and a historic clubhouse that itself is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][3][1]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016 the light rail University of Washington Station opened to passengers just in time for Opening Day activities. In 2026 this station will connect with the number 2 line, just in time again, making light rail transit possible from the east side of Lake Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
