Sir Steve Redgrave has selected people based on height, with a view to having them represent their country in the 2012 Olympics. For rowing, the expectation is that tall people have powerful levers suited to the sport. One would not think that this alone could not be enough, but combine that with the positive expectation that they will become medal winners and history has proven that this can work.

I wonder if any members of your club have experienced the same disorder. If so it would help me greatly to communicate with them. Right now Chris refuses to discuss his condition with anyone, not even his dad. His mother died six years ago from heart failure brought on by the same disorder and I'm sure he's scared. Someone who has already experienced it might be able to get through to him better than we can.
