PARIS, France — Canoeist Casey Eichfeld will take on a challenging slalom course in his fourth Olympic run at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Eichfeld is originally from Pennsylvania, but he and his family now live in Charlotte, North Carolina. He can sometimes be spotted in the Queen City, training with teammates at the U.S. National Whitewater Center.
Eichfeld placed 11th in the 2008 tandem event, 14th going solo in 2012 and 7th solo in 2016. In 2016, he also placed 10th in the tandem event.
His status as a now 4-time Olympian will never outshine his self-appointed title of ‘girl dad.’ He plans to take his daughter to Paris, where he’ll compete in the solo canoeing event.
You can watch Eichfeld compete on Saturday, July 27 at 1 p.m. in the slalom men's canoe heats. He'll also paddle in Paris on Monday, July 29 at 11 a.m. slalom men's canoe semi and final on E!
