The Florida Gators are doing themselves proud in the pool at the Paris Olympics.
Finding himself down over a second behind Ireland’s Daniel Wiffen and Italy’s Gregorio Palitrinieri into the final turn, Finke showed signs of his 2021 performance with a tremendous final leg and passed Palitrinieri to earn silver.
It’s his third Olympic medal overall and second-straight in this event after winning the gold medal during the 2020 Tokyo games. He also won gold in the 1500-meter freestyle in those games. Finke’s performance in Paris continues what has been a dominant career dating back to his time in Gainesville. He won three individual national championships over the course of his collegiate career and was an 11-time All-American.
