Olympic Water Polo Star Cheered on by Husband With Stage 4 Lung Cancer


Olympic water polo MVP Madeline Musselman is being supported at the 2024 Paris Games by her husband, Patrick Woepse, who has a rare cancer diagnosis

Musselman, who is competing in her third Olympics and was named MVP for her team in Tokyo 2020, is married to Patrick Woepse, a fellow college water polo player who is currently battling a rare form of lung cancer. Woepse not only urged Musselman to stick to her schedule, he even managed to make it to Paris so that he could see his wife and the U.S. women’s water polo team beat Greece this week — cheering her on and ultimately celebrating with her in person. Kelly Clarkson covered the opening ceremony for NBC along with Mike Tirico and Peyton Manning on July 26, which included performances from stars such as Lady Gaga and Céline Dion.
