Tri-Town Olympians Gevvie Stone and Gia Doonan competed in Tokyo this week, each as rowers but in separate events.

Stone, a longtime summer resident of Marion with deep family ties to the town, represented the US in the women’s double sculls final on Tuesday night, July 27, finishing fifth with a time of 6:52.98.

The rowing team of Stone and Kristina Wagner competed against other qualifying nations Lithuania, Canada, the Netherlands, Romania, and New Zealand in the event.

The duo then came in third place in the semifinal event on Sunday, finishing behind the Netherlands and Canada with a time of 7:11.14, but still qualifying for the Final A on Tuesday.

Stone also competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics in the single sculls, winning a silver medal in 2016 and coming seventh in 2012.

Rochester native Doonan competed on Friday, July 23 qualifying for the finals as part of the US women’s eight team.
