The community of Walnut Creek is preparing to celebrate a hometown heroine this weekend.
20-year-old wrestler Amit Elor won gold in the Paris Olympics and is set to celebrate her victory tomorrow afternoon at Walnut Creek's Civic Park.
As the youngest wrestler in Team USA history, her impressive journey to the Olympics was anything but easy, and one person who has been with her every step of the way is her older brother, Orry, who is a former Olympic Trials wrestler himself, and has helped Amit with her nutrition and training.
For more on this, KCBS Radio anchors Patti Reising and Bret Burkhart were joined by Orry Elor, who was there in Paris to support his sister during the 2024 Olympics. He's also a PhD candidate in pharmeceutical sciences and pharmacogenomics at UCSF.
