Olympic champion rower Emily Regan decided to go public with what she is convinced was a coronavirus infection. Her message: If it can happen to me and my teammates, it can happen to you.
Regan and 11 countrywomen either tested positive for the virus or were presumed to have it due to symptoms in the spring. Three-time Olympian Megan Kalmoe also posted that she had the virus in March and was sick for two weeks.
All 12 rowers in the Olympic selection pool had trained, before showing symptoms, at the national team center in Princeton, N.
