Former Georgia Bulldogs standout swimmer Nic Fink won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Fink, who represents Team USA, tied Great Britain’s Adam Peaty to win a silver medal in the 100 meter breaststroke event.
Fink and Peaty came inches from securing gold. Fink and Peaty both finished with times of 59.05. The gold medal winner, Italy’s Nicolo Martinenghi won with a time of 59.03.
The 100 meter breaststroke is Fink’s only individual event at the Olympic Games.
“With Adam (Peaty), he’s a legend in the sport. To share the podium with him, let alone the silver medal, it’s an awesome experience,” said Fink after claiming second place. “And to see Nicolo there as well, it’s really fun.”
Fink is one of over 30 current and former Georgia Bulldogs that are competing in the Paris Games. Fink recently earned a master’s degree in engineering at Georgia Tech. He works a 9-to-5 job as an assistant project manager in addition to training for swimming. Fink, who is 31, lives in Dallas, Texas.
