GORDON

It was strange to think that his son was getting too old for anything, let alone sailing. Because, of course, admitting that Kevin was getting old was tacit admission that he, too, as his father, was aging. Kevin was now thirty-four, old by most Olympic standards, yet Gordon was still supportive, albeit a bit skeptical, of his son’s ability to make the team in the Finn class.

During the trials, Gordon stood with Amanda and Susanne on board the boat of a local yacht club member and watched in awe as Kevin ran away with the regatta. It was some of the most inspired sailing Gordon had ever seen from anyone, not just his son. Kevin was so far ahead in the trials by the last day that he didn’t even need to compete, having already secured his berth by a wide margin, though he decided to go out anyway, as big of a show of the love of the sport8 as he had ever seen in his son.

Gordon was the first to tell his son that his win was a huge accomplishment. After all those years spent driving him around the junior circuit and helping him deal with cancer treatments, all the times he had bailed Kevin out of the aftermath of being on The Show, Gordon felt an immense sense of pride in his son. Kevin had set a goal and he had reached it. He was an Olympian.

The next stop was the podium in Athens.
