Austin native, and good friend of theCHIVE, Jimmy Feigen has one insane story to tell you. Some know him from his Gold medal victory at the Rio Olympics for the ‘Men’s 4x100m freestyle relay, with Michael Phelps and company. And yet others, sadly, know him as one of the swimmers whose passports was detained after a gas station incident in Rio that was later embellished in an account by Ryan Lochte, which led to an absolute media nightmare. And, for the first time ever, Jimmy was publicly able to set the record straight with exactly what went down at that bathroom stop in Rio!
We promise when you hear his account of what actually occurred that night in Rio where he was held at gunpoint, along with the ensuing P.R. wild fire that grew out of control, and ultimately the insanity it took him to escape the country, you will be riveted. Forget what stories & narratives you heard in the media, the real story is far more intense, compelling and absolutely baffling.
We’re so happy Jimmy took the time to talk to us, and even if you’re not a fan of the Olympics, this is a powerful story that you have to hear for yourself! And in the end, we’re sure you will see Jimmy as the great guy, and Olympic Gold Medalist champion that he deserves to be remembered as!
