A semifinal swimming triumph for a White Plains native turned into a “creepy moment” for some watching the 2024 Olympics.
It was no fault of Claire Weinstein, who finished first in her 200m freestyle heat Sunday with a time of 1:55.24, besting Barbora Seemanova from Czechia and Mary-Sophie Harvey of Canada.
But with the names of the top three finishers flashing on the screen, fans couldn’t help but notice Harvey’s name right under Weinstein’s, drawing a connection to former Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, who was convicted of rape.Olympics fans thought it was “creepy” that Mary-Sophie Harvey’s last name was right under Claire Weinstein’s last name on the broadcast of the 200m freestyle semifinals on July 28, 2024.
Weinstein, who began racing when she was 6 years old and is committed to UC Berkeley, will team with Ledecky, Erin Gemmell and Paige Madden in the women’s 4×200 freestyle relay.Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape conviction was overturned in April but he remains in prison as a result of a rape conviction in Los Angeles.
