A tense Sunday in rural Ohio watching an Olympian do his thing By Syndicated Content By Gaelen Morse DOVER, Ohio (Reuters) – The parents and grandparents of Olympic backstroke swimmer Hunter Armstrong could not travel to see the 20-year-old compete in Tokyo because of COVID restrictions. Like millions of others, they watched on TV. It was 8 p.m. in Tokyo and 7 in the morning in small-town Dover, Ohio, and Armstrong was vying for one of sixteen spots in the 100 meter backstroke semifinals. Hunter’s mom Edie, dad Ryan, and grandparents Karen and Tom gathered in the family room, where Olympic rings hang from the mantel. Karen, who always touches Hunter’s shoulder before a race, touched the TV.
