The two women, 29 and 55 years old respectively, cajoled each other and laughed after it emerged they had won a medal, clearly having the time of their lives. Springsteen started training with Kraut, who won team gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics with Ward, when she was 18 years old. "It's no surprise or shock to me that she is here tonight," Kraut added, with Springsteen, all smiles, whispering, "Thank you".
