After discovering the video three years ago, our own Nick and Jack became obsessed with the clip and commonly burst into song. The song was, of course, "The Lady in Red", which Ornstein used as the background song to his moving performance. After showing Ethan the video, he took it upon himself to reach out to Ornstein for an interview. Marc was generous enough to chat with Ethan about what the sport of freestyle canoeing entails and how you become one of the greats.
