Yale alumni win silver and bronze medals in rowing pairs race in Paris

While Team USA's rowing team did not win a medal in Friday's Men's Pair medal race in Paris, some international athletes with local ties are going home with some hardware.

Oliver Wynne-Griffith and the Great Britain boat paddled their way to a silver medal finish, crossing the line less than a second after Croatia.

Team Switzerland finished in 3rd place, featuring Andrin Gulich as one of the rowers.

Both Wynne-Griffith and Gulich are alumni of Yale University, with Wynne-Griffith graduating in 2017 and Gulich's senior year being 2021.

While they just missed rowing together for Yale, they stood on the same podium today to receive their Olympic medals.

A third Yale Alum, New Zealand rower Dan Williamson, also competed in the Men's Pair race in Paris, but did not finish with a medal.
