Have you been watching the Olympics?
Nearly 600 athletes are competing for Team USA in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, and all of them are looking to make their mark on the global stage by winning big.
As a testament to the hard work and determination put in, eight of the 32 New Englanders on Team USA have earned medals as of Monday, August 5.
Stephen Nedoroscik of Worcester, Massachusetts, and Frederick Richard of Stoughton, Massachusetts, were the first New Englanders to earn a medal in the 2024 Olympic Games on July 29. Getting a bronze medal for their men’s gymnastics team broke a 16-year medal drought!
Kieran Smith won a silver medal for the men’s 4x200m freestyle relay on July 30. That same day, Kristi Kirshe of Franklin, Massachusetts, and Ilona Maher of Burlington, Vermont, secured bronze medals for their women’s rugby team after defeating Australia.
On August 1, Liam Corrigan of Old Lyme, Connecticut, won the gold medal along with his men’s rowing (four) teammates.
Chris Carlson of Bedford, New Hampshire, and Henry Hollingsworth of Dover, Massachusetts, earned bronze medals with their teammates in the men’s rowing (eight) competition on August 3.
That same day, Nedoroscik earned another bronze medal after competing individually in the Men’s pomel horse.
Let’s take a look at the winners and some pics of them in action.

The Olympics aren’t over, so hopefully more New Englanders will be added to the list before it’s all done. Right now, four from Massachusetts, two from Connecticut and one from Vermont and New Hampshire have earned medals.
Let’s keep it up! Good luck, Team USA!
