Olympic gold medalist Kristen Faulkner’s advice on switching careers
Kristen Faulker may have started cycling later in life, but she’s coming home from the Paris Olympics with two gold medals.
Nelly Korda enters Day 3 of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics with some work to be done.
Despite finishing with an under-par round on Thursday, the No. 1 golfer in the world finds herself in a two-way tie for 12th place and just outside contention for the medal podium heading into Friday’s Round 3 at Le Golf National.
The reigning gold medalist from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics will look to have a bogey-free day after a costly seven on a Par 3 Hole 16 that was followed up with a bogey on No. 17 during Thursday’s second round dropped her from a tie for second on the leaderboard.

Korda enters Round 3 on Friday six strokes behind the lead, which is currently held by Switzerland’s Morgan Metraux at 8-under par. She is three strokes away from having a spot on the podium as New Zealand’s Lydia Ko currently holds bronze and third place at 5-under par.
With that, here’s how Korda is performing in Friday’s third round of golf at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including her scorecards from Round 1 on Wednesday and Round 2 on Thursday:
