#012 - Nowadays, Aquil Abdullah is a known athlete for the Hydrow indoor rowing machine. Before that, he was the first African-American rower to qualify for the Summer Olympics, the first African-American rower to win the Diamon Sculls race at Henley Royal Regatta in 2000, and first African-American rower to win a national championship in the single sculls in 1996. His accomplished rowing career spans across decades and shows no signs of stopping.
