Harvard classmates, twins and ConnectU co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss couldn't convince a judge Facebook stole their code or lied to them about how much the company is worth, but they sure can move submerged poles back and forth really fast! The pair won a place on the U.S. Olympic squad and will row in the 2,000 meter event in Beijing later this summer. We hear its an upset. "This is a bit of a surprise," a crew aficionado and Winklevoss admirer tells us. "They were not a shoo-in by any means." View the embedded clip to see the WInklevoss brothers rowing in April 2008.
