VAIRES-SUR-MARNE, France — A trio of moms won rowing medals at the Paris Olympics. Thursday's medalists are Helen Glover of Britain and New Zealanders Lucy Spoors and Brooke Francis, who rowed together to victory less than two years after giving birth a few months apart. Spoors and Francis won the gold medal in the women's double sculls, while Glover took silver in the women's four. Shortly after Spoors and Francis crossed the line, they were picking up their toddlers in the stands to hug them. Glover went straight to high-five her children after finishing her race.
