Megan Kalmoe is a U.S. women’s crew rower who won the bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics in the quadruple sculls event, and now she’s back, aiming for bigger things at the Rio Games.
Kalmoe has invested a good portion of her life to this, so excuse her if she feels that the press is somewhat-literally crapping on her dreams. In a column for The Guardian recently, Kalmoe took the U.S. media to task for all of its reporting on the pollution at Olympic sites in Rio. Most specifically, the waterways which will be used for boating and marathon swimming events beginning in two weeks.
