Here is a gallery of photos from the Boston stopover of the Team USA Road to Rio 2016 tour, which I covered this weekend for Getty Images.
The nine stop tour is bringing Olympic and Paralympic athletes, interactive experiences, and giveaways to cities across the country. Gymnast Nastia Liukin swimmers Dara Torres and Ryan Lochte, and ice dancing pair Charlie White and Meryl Davis were among the athletes to attend the Boston event. That’s a lot of gold medals, collectively.
The tour event was set up right along the Charles River, which made for the perfect backdrop as the annual Head of the Charles Regatta was happening simultaneously. I had a lot of fun shooting!
