US Rowing has launched an inquiry into allegations that Ted Nash, an Olympic champion rower who went on to become a famed coach, had a relationship with one of his teenage students.
Jennifer Fox’s 2018 film, The Tale, detailed a sexual relationship she had when she was 13 with her coach, who was 40. The coach was given a pseudonym in the film, but Fox said in an interview with the New York Times on Monday that her abuser was Nash, who won a gold medal for the US in the coxless four at the 1960 Olympics and went on to a successful coaching career in which he also worked with female runners.
