American swimmer Ryan Murphy won a bronze medal in the men's 100-meter backstroke at the 2024 Summer Olympics, marking his seventh Olympic medal. Moments after his win, Murphy learned the gender of his first child when his wife, Bridget Konttinen, held up a sign that read, 'Ryan, it's a girl!' The couple, who have been together since 2016 and married in 2023, both initially thought they were expecting a boy. Murphy expressed his excitement and shared hopes that their daughter could be friends with the expected daughter of Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. This joyful news overshadowed questions about his race performance during the press conference. Murphy will compete next in the men’s 200-meter backstroke on Wednesday.
