East Bay rower Kara Kohler advances to final; Ex-Cal golfer Collin Morikawa seven shots back after first round.
Silver Medalists Claire Weinstein, Paige Madden, Katie Ledecky and Erin Gemmell of Team United States pose with their national flag following the Swimming medal ceremony after the Women’s 4x200m Freestyle Relay Final on day six of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 at Paris La Defense Arena on Aug. 01, 2024 in Nanterre, France.
Kohler finished just five seconds off the leader in the semifinals, with New Zealand’s Emma Twigg pacing the field with a time of 7:17.19.But thanks to her friendship with then high-school student Jack Woll, Kohler rediscovered her love of the sport as she mentored the young man. “It’s literally unbelievable,” Corrigan told the Associated Press. “I crossed the line, I thought I was going to have some kind of celebration, but I was just in disbelief, like my hands were on my head. It was just crazy.”
Stanford alum Alex Bowen scored twice, and former Cal goalkeeper Adrian Weinberg had eight saves and also scored the first Olympic goal of his career.
