Sixteen years ago, Paul Foerster and Kevin Burnham of the U.S. Olympic Sailing Team captured the gold medal in the Men's 470 at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens over the 27-boat fleet. Foerster, a four-time Olympian, and Burnham, a three-time Olympian, had both medaled in the Olympics before. In three prior trips to the Olympic Games ('88, '92 and '00), Foerster had won two silver medals in the Flying Dutchman ('92), and the 470 ('00). Burnham earned a silver in the Men's 470 class in 1992. Foerster and Burnham joined forces in pursuit of a gold medal in 2004 and the pair succeeded triumphantly. With the win, Burnham became the oldest gold medal winner of all Team USA athletes at the 2004 Games. Foerster and Burnham were named Rolex Yachtsman of the Year for their gold medal performance. Gary Jobson catches up with these Olympic champions to reflect on their historic win and learn more about how they are engaging with the sport of sailing today.

We found a ghost spot. This legendary roti stall in Chiang Mai doesn't even exist on Google Maps. No pin, no reviews, just pure, buttery heaven. We’ve spent years traveling and tasting street food, but this specific roti in Chiang Mai just changed the game. Watching the rhythm of the dough, the sizzle of the pan, and that final, golden crunch... it’s not just street food; it’s a craft passed down through generations. Most people walk past these hidden gems, but the real soul of Thai flavors lives right here. Wait until the end to see the exact location so you don't miss it when you’re in the North. Would you try it with condensed milk or keep it classic? Let me know below! p.s. Because it’s a "hidden gem" in the truest sense, I’m pinning the exact coordinates in my upcoming "Live Full, Eat Slow" Chiang Mai Guide. Want early access to the map? Comment "SECRET" below and I’ll send you the waitlist link.
