Nearly two dozen U.S. men's rowers signed on to keep training for another year after the Tokyo Olympics were delayed until 2021. That meant adjusting full-time jobs for many, altering wedding plans for one and maintaining apartment leases in the costly Bay Area while also dealing with different practice protocols given the coronavirus pandemic.

Coach Mike Teti watches as rowers practice in the Oakland Estuary in Oakland, Calif., Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020. As soon as the Tokyo Games were postponed by the coronavirus pandemic, Teti scheduled individual meetings with each rower to gauge who could commit to another year of training in the Bay Area and put real life on hold a while longer. He fully understood if some wanted to move on with career plans or in their personal lives. Every single man signed on for Tokyo one year later.(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
