Creveling, a graduate of Palisades High School, still will get a shot at his first Olympic gold in the men's 1,000 meter and 5,000 meter relay races later in the Games.
Tune into NBC10 in primetime Monday to see Creveling’s dramatic race.
Preparing for the Olympics takes time, dedication and fuel, as in the food one puts into one's body. One of Creveling's favorite foods is Pho, a Vietnamese soup. In addition, Creveling adopted a gluten-free diet. With years of dedication to the sport, he finally made his first Olympic team this year.
Creveling grew up as an inline skater, and skated at the same rink as USA teammate Kyle Carr in Frenchtown.
