Listen "S1E17 Mike Knopp"
Episode Synopsis
It’s safe to say that one man is responsible for bringing international recognition to This Town’s river sports, and that man is Mike Knopp. Of course, he had help along the way, but from first seeing the U.S. Navy rowing team on Chesapeake Bay to finding a crew at Oklahoma State University to starting rowing teams at both Oklahoma City University and the University of Oklahoma, Mike has had a vision. Considered by many people for many years as fanatical, his vision, and persistence, has resulted in making Oklahoma City a true Olympic city.Softball notwithstanding, the whitewater Canoe and Kayak events of the LA28 Games will be held in This Town thanks to a guy who staged some rather wild stunts to bring awareness to the unique opportunity for the Oklahoma River.Post-production by Fred O. BishopSponsored by Carpenter Square Theatre
