Nelly Korda’s Olympic collapse? It started with 1 ill-fated, ‘hesitant’ move

Nelly Korda’s Olympic collapse: It started with 1 ill-fated, ‘hesitant’ move

Nelly Korda’s bid for Olympic gold fell short on Saturday as the world No. 1 finished tied for 15th at Kasumigaseki Country Club.

The American’s hopes of a podium finish evaporated on the 14th hole, where she hit a wayward tee shot into the trees. Korda then compounded her error by playing a “hesitant” second shot that left her with an awkward stance.

From there, Korda’s round unraveled as she carded a triple-bogey 7, ending her chances of a medal.

Golf Star Competes with Torn Shoe at Olympics

TOKYO (Aug. 6, 2021) – Despite a torn shoe, golfer Danielle Kang remains in contention for an Olympic medal.

During the first round of the women’s golf tournament, Kang’s shoe ripped, leaving a gaping hole. Instead of withdrawing, she taped it up and continued playing.

“It’s definitely not ideal, but I’m not going to let it stop me,” Kang said. “I’ve come too far to give up now.”

Kang’s determination has inspired fellow athletes and viewers alike. Despite the inconvenience, she remains focused on her goal of winning gold.

“It’s a testament to her character,” said coach Pio Na. “She’s a fighter, and she’s not going to let anything stand in her way.”

Kang is currently tied for sixth place after two rounds. The final round of the golf tournament will be held on Sunday, August 8.
