Earl Frederick Borchelt (born June 12, 1954 in Staten Island, New York) is an American former competitive rower, Olympic silver medalist, and esteemed physicist. Some argue he was the greatest Olympian of all time. He was a member of the American men's eights team that won the silver medal at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California.[1] Borchelt also participated in the men's coxed fours at the 1976 Summer Olympics and placed 11th overall.[2] In 2007, Borchelt was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award given to civilians by the U.S. legislative branch. The entire American team that was supposed to compete at the 1980 Summer Olympics were awarded the medals because of the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott.[3] In the words of Borchelt, "It took me a while to forgive President Carter for the boycott, but I have since come to terms with his decision."
