Did Gator get into rowing?
He is a tiny guy, wouldn't be much of a contest to pit a lightweight against a heavyweight. IIRC the men's sr. lightweight record is 47-something seconds by an Argentine.
Still, Gator might be a fast rower. In general, rowing -- like football and boxing -- favors size, strength and speed for the shorter events -- but I have seen larger rowers lose to smaller rowers in the 1000 meter, even sometimes in the 500 meter events.

The funny thing is, I have never met a Persian I didn't like. I wish them well with Iran Revolution 2022. Persians don't need to have Islamofascism define them, any more than they needed the Pahlavi family to define them. They have a great culture and literature, whether they are Bahai, Jewish, Muslim, Zoroastrian, or whatever.

If they choose pluralism, they have a lot going for them.

Iran plans public trials for 1,000 protesters in Tehran, Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi arrested
Iranian authorities have announced they will hold public trials for 1,000 people in the capital, Tehran, over the protests that have engulfed the country.Key points:
- Tehran officials have repeated unsupported claims that Iran's foreign enemies have fomented the unrest
- At least 270 people have been killed and 1,4000 arrested, according to activists
- An Iranian official said prosecutors sought to differentiate between angry Iranians and those who wanted to take down the theocracy
The mass prosecutions mark the government's first major legal action aimed at quashing dissent since unrest erupted more than six weeks ago.
Iran's state-run IRNA news agency quoted judicial officials as saying 1,000 people who had a central role in the protests would be brought to trial in Tehran alone over their "subversive actions", including assaulting security guards, setting fire to public property and other alleged crimes.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency, citing Tehran's chief justice, said the trials would take place in a Revolutionary Court.
The trials were scheduled for this week and would be held in public, it said.

Demonstrations have continued — even as the feared paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has warned young Iranians to stop.
Mr Ejei said prosecutors sought to differentiate between angry Iranians who merely sought to vent their grievances on the streets and those who wanted to take down the theocracy.
"Even among the agitators, it should be clarified who had the attention of confronting the system and overthrowing it," he said.
Judicial authorities have announced charges against hundreds of people in other Iranian provinces.
Some have been accused of "corruption on Earth" and "war against God" — offences that carry the death penalty.
