Another Cal Golden Bear has booked a spot in next year’s 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While a number of 2020 “Calympians” won’t be earning their spot until next June (particularly those that are USA Swimmers), we will be getting a steady updates in the coming year of Cal Bears, both current student-athletes and alumni, who will be representing their country, but also Cal, at Tokyo next August for the 2020 Olympic Games.
Following Cal Men’s Swimming head coach Dave Durden as the Team USA men’s swimming head coach and Cal Women’s Water Polo alum Roser Tarrago whose Spanish team qualified for a spot thanks to their Silver Medal finish at the FINA Aquatics Championship last month, we have our first individual Calympian qualifier in Hong Kong’s Stephanie Au (you can click on that link to see what I wrote about her for the 2016 Olympics).
