Eight years after he stopped swimming competitively to try out rowing, Germany’s Oliver Zeidler won Olympic gold in the men’s single sculls on Saturday in Paris. The 6-foot-8 Zeidler came from a family of rowers — his aunt, Judith Zeidler, is an Olympic gold and bronze medalist herself — but he preferred swimming growing up. He started swimming at age 7 and won a silver medal as part of Germany’s 4×100 freestyle relay at the 2014 European Junior Championships, splitting 51.09 on the anchor leg in prelims.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
