    Paddling at the Olympics with Team USA: Evy Leibfarth, Nevin Harrison and Michelle Sechser
    Jul 11 2024
    We are getting in boats today and going on the water! At the Team USA Media Summit, we talked with Olympic kayaker Evy Leibfarth, canoeist Nevin Harrison and rower Michelle Sachser. All three competed at Tokyo 2020 and have qualified for Paris 2024. Evy competes in canoe slalom (whitewater) and this year will compete in canoe single, kayak single, and kayak cross, which is a new event for Paris 2024. Nevin will be defending her gold medal in the 200m women's canoe sprint. Michelle will compete with Molly Reckford in lightweight double sculls rowing. This will be the last Olympics for lightweight rowing events, and it'll mark the end of Michelle's elite rowing career as well.
