Kara Michelle Kohler (born January 20, 1991)[1] is an American female crew rower. She won the bronze medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in the quadruple sculls event. She also has a World Championship gold medal in the coxless four and a World Championship bronze in the single sculls.

Career[edit]

Kohler swam through high school and started rowing at University of California, Berkeley.[2] In 2011, she was named a Division I first team All-American.[3] She was a member of the crew that won the I Eight at the 2013 NCAA Rowing Championships. Within two years of starting to row, she was part of the United States under-23 team, winning a gold medal in the women's eights at the 2010 U-23 World Championship.[2]

In 2011 Kohler was part of the US team that won the coxless four at the World Championships, alongside Sarah Zelenka, Emily Regan and Sara Hendershot.[4]

2012 saw Kohler, Natalie Dell, Megan Kalmoe and Adrienne Martelli win bronze in the women's quadruple sculls at the Olympic Games.[5] She was not selected for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and nearly quit rowing.[6]

After switching to the single sculls in 2018,[7] Kohler won the bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships.[8] That year, she was also named US Rowing's female Rower of the Year.[6]

On February 26, 2021, Kohler won the USA Olympic Trials race for single sculls to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics[9]
