Grandma, 58, Gets Third Place at U.S. Olympic Trials for Race Walking

 

A Pennsylvania grandmother placed third at the Olympic trials — in a sport she previously retired from!

 

Michelle Rohl, a distance runner turned racewalker from Wisconsin, previously competed for Team USA in the 1992, 1996 and 2000 Olympic Games, but retired from the sport over two decades ago to homeschool her five kids, The Morning Call reported.

 

Now 58, Rohl, who just welcomed her first grandchild three months ago, returned to the sport by competing in the 20-kilometer race walk in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials on Saturday, June 29.

 

However, because the United States doesn’t have a spot for race walkers in Paris at the 2024 Games, she likely will be unable to compete.
