Summer Olympics: Stanford’s Torri Huske captures first individual gold medal for USA, Ryan Murphy advances to final
The United State’s first individual gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics went to a Stanford junior taking a gap year to focus on swimming.
Torri Huske, 21, chased down teammate Gretchen Walsh to capture the gold medal in the 100-meter butterfly on Saturday in France.
Huske’s 55.59 time beat Walsh by 0.04 seconds as the Americans went one-two on the podium.
Tears filled Huske’s eyes when she looked up to see the results.
“I feel like I’m in shock right now,” she said on the NBC broadcast.
